Thought- You Are Important.
I have been reading lately about the importance of feeling important.
There is a strong desire in us all to feel as though we have a place, that people need us and that our contributions are of significance.
Without this feeling we have no value and play no significant part in the world.

So how do we develop this feeling in ourselves and encourage it in others?
The world is in a state. There are endless avenues for me to give to others, and make a positive impact.

I need to ask myself "What can i do to help others?".
Finding ways to do this will increase self esteem and sense of worth, and will improve our planet on the way. So i guess the great shift is from WiiFM (what's in it for me) to, What can i give.

There is a great movie called "Pay It Forward". This young kid comes up with an awesome idea, that changes the world of many many people. Well worth watching. There is a day coming up soon that gives us all a chance to try out his great idea. Visit http://www.payitforwardday.com for more info.

And remember you can make someone else's life happy, lighter, warmer and fuller. Just keep asking... "What Can I Do To Help Those Around Me?"



Didge Workshop with Si (Wild Marmalade)
Sunday March 11th
Threeworlds back room
2pm - 4.30pm
Cost $45 for 2.5 hour workshop.
Limited to 20 people so book now.

These guys rocked Tally Community Hall last Saturday night and now you've got the opportunity to learn Si's unique didge style.

Si teaches specific 'odd time signature' didj grooves with breathing patterns de signed to break conditioned cycles that the 'intuitve' didj player tends to slip into. These ideas are as well suited to the beginner as the advanced player. You will also be guided through the more important technical things to do with calls, trumpets and obtaining a deeper textured drone.……….As well as a splash of 2006 didj philosophy!!!!! In side 2.5 hours is enough information for a few years diligent hard enjoyment..…….Emphasis is placed on the right brain enjoyment of playing rather than left brain rigorous practice!


Threeworlds Live
Friday March 9th 7.30pm
Mal Webb & Moot
Threeworlds back room
Cost: $12

Mal Webb is described as a vocal adventurer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. From ballads, beatbox and beyond. Mal Webb uses a world of vocal techniques (including pygmy yodelling and Inuit panting) and writing styles. He plays guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, chromatic harmonica, a loop recording pedal called Derek and the audience... a lot. Ani DiFranco said "You're a freak!" after Mal played support for her. Mal has spent a lot of time mucking about. Check him out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dgHebJTfho

The Brisbane-based four piece, Moot, have been busy with the release of their debut album 'Dead Fly'. Moot's music combines the fire of South American folk, jazz and their unique sound crafted through an intoxicating blend of voices, tenor saxophone, flute, electric cello, electric guitar and percussion. http://www.myspace.com/mootlings


Product
We have heaps of funky new products in stock. To name a few....

Pro Firestick Case

These new fire stick bags are totally awesome. They hold 6-10 firesticks in a denim lined padded, zip up adjustable heavy duty case/bag. You'd really need to see one. Don't have a photo yet, but come in if you can and email me if you can't and i'll take a photo. They are $85 and worth every dollar.

NEW DRUMS!
We have a huge amount of djembes in stock at the moment too. We have stock of the 8" - $99 drums, 10" - $199 and the 12" - $299. There is also a select few Mali drums back in stock. The Mali drums are a must have. 90% of the advanced class have them, i've got one, and there is a reason. They are a beautiful thing that will only get more beautiful with time. And the price is still going up, so it's a good investment. They are now $595.

Hoops and Fans on Fire
Funny how things come into vogue. Fire fans are in hot demand. We are getting more stock in the next two weeks, so register your interest now. The fire hula hoops are in design stage, with more on the way in the next couple of weeks. If interested please email.

Threeworlds is located on the Gold Coast in Queensland just 1hr South of Brisbane and 1hr North of Byron Bay. We are one of  Australia's largest stores for Drums and Percussion, Juggling and Fire twirling Equipment.
We stock a great range of drums and percussion, from bongos to congas, vegan djembes to darabukas, surdos to cuicas, shakers to tamborines. All the drums we stock are vegan (using non-animal heads, which last heaps longer and sound heaps better!)
In our juggling range, we sport a great range of juggling clubs, juggling balls, unicycles, rings, diabolos, scarves, and devilsticks.
The fire gear we make in house and have the best equipment you'll find anywhere including fire poi or fire chains, fire sticks or fire staff, we have fire fans and fire skipping ropes, fire juggling clubs and more. We also sell Kelvar Wick. Browse around and let us know if you need any more information. Don't forget to view our free online lessons.
