And thanks for the explanation
Have you ever heard of Layne Redmond? She was a master at the frame drum, and wrote a book titled "When the Drummers Were Women." She even put out a CD of her music where she discovered that Greek women were not only the drummers but also the bee-keepers. The book's out of print, so I've never gotten to read it, just Layne's blog posts about it, or the liner notes.

I picked "Kentauros" because it's the furthest back root word for "centaur," a form that is a love of mine. There's a deeper reason that I'd rather not mention in the open on DU because of the ultra-high mockability factor
