What is Ron singing during his drum duet with Robby, you ask? It is something like this:

gotta get a dog gotta get a dog gotta get a dog tuna for dindin tuna for dindin tuna for dindin tuna for dindin

    And then just imagine the transition between the two phrases, if Ron removed the word “tuna”.

    Gotta get a dog for dindin…

    The ASPCA would be all over him!

    It is a tabla player joke. The syllables they sing each represent a different hit – teaching tablas is an aural tradition – and these phrases sound somewhat similar!

    That’s great – I just know I’m going to start laughing next time I hear their drum duet! Of course, the duet can’t help but make you smile anyway – their energy is contagious!

    If you check out the 2003 Drum Detour in the Listening Lounge, you can hear Ron’s mantra at the end. Nice to know what you’re hearing.
