down. Most of them were made from leather and stones.

POI THEO(R)IST

Yeah, ive seen this performance, its a kinda gypsey thing, they wack the balls off the floor and stap thier feet in rythum to a drummer, I think it features in a CdS show. I saw it on telly once.

construction wise they are about 4 1/2 feete long with a wooden ball on the end. They dont do anything specialy spinning wise but they do go pretty fast and keep excelent rythum, a rythum that gets quite complex when they add the stomping.

Thanks for your help guys gonna have a go at making some

do you think wood would be the best thing for the ball as i dont want it to shatter when i hit it on the floor?

i think the ones that i saw were made of plastic but not 100% sure
