http://www.MikeVeny.Com Toca artist Mike Veny having some fun in the studio and demonstrating new djembes with his friends Tristant Marzeski and Brendan Finnegan (fellow Toca artist). In this video, Mike demonstrates a simple idea of how you can have fun with percussion regardless of your skill level or ability. This playful exchange was inspired by Mikes work as a drum circle facilitator, studying Developmental Community Music with Kalani, laughter yoga, and being his childlike self.
Having fun with music is so important. We’ve become a society that takes recreational music making way too seriously. Honoring traditional rhythms and techniques is important for education and childlike playfulness is important for the spirit. Mike, Brendan, and Tristan are clearly having fun.
In addition to the fun they are having, they are demonstrating the Toca 14 inch Freestyle Djembe (Toca’s best selling percussion item), the Toca 14 inch Freestyle Djembe with an extended rim, and the Toca Master Series Djembe. Mike has used both instruments extensively and has found the Freestlye to be flexible enough to fit a variety of musical situations. Best of all, this drum is really light. The Master Series Djembe is simply a work of art. The dense wood is hand carved and the drum has a crystal clear tone, regardless of where you play on it. As always, Toca succeeded in making instruments that sound great and looks great.
Both of these djembes have become an important part of Mike’s sound as drummer. He uses Freestyle djembe for most performances and recordings, and brings out the Master Series djembe on special occasions. Both instruments bring him much happiness.

http://www.TransformingStigma.com. In this video, Mike Veny is delivering to his Transforming Stigma into Strength speech to birth mothers of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
This presentation is typically delivered at mental health events, however the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (MOFAS) believed that his message could help the birth moms of babies with FASD. In the spirit of transparency, Mike had some negative feelings about birth moms of children with FASD prior to meeting the people at the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
He soon learned about the myths surrounding FASD. One of the myths as that only mothers with alcohol and/or substance abuse problems have babies with FASD. THIS IS NOT TRUE! More than half of new pregnancies are unplanned. In fact, many women are approximately 3 months into their pregnancy before they are even aware of it. Because of they aren’t aware, they may drink alcohol without realizing they are harming their baby.
Also, many people believe that a baby will outgrow any problems caused by drinking during pregnancy. The truth is that the damage caused to a baby by prenatal alcohol exposure is permanent. Therefore, it is CRITICAL that children with FASD begin getting the help and treatment they need AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
For the birth mothers, the biggest challenge is the burden they bear for the rest of their life, knowing that the their decision(s) caused permanent damage to their child. Mike Veny offers words of support to encourage mothers to learn to FORGIVE themselves. What makes this difficult is the reality that, even if they do eventually forgive themselves, many people in society won’t.
Whether it’s Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder or mental health, it’s important that we take responsibility in transforming stigma. No one should have to live with shame. No one should have to live in silence. No one should have to sabotage, engage in self-destructive behavior, or attempt suicide.
