“I’m delighted to be participating in a fundraising initiative called the Drumming Print Project for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Now, I’ve chosen one of my favourite drum rudiments, and it’s the ‘Diddle Egg Five’, for which the artist Anthony Burrill has morphed into a rather striking – excuse the pun – typographic design.
So now I need to sign all of these, and they’ll soon be available (from Wednesday 27th August) through the Teenage Cancer Trust Music Merch store, in support of young people with cancer.”

Video description: Evelyn is sat behind a table upon which rests the 100 limited edition copies of the typographic print of ‘Diddle Egg Five’, which she is preparing to sign. She is wearing a dark grey zip up hoodie, with a silver necklace with a brown leather and green glass bead pendant which in certain angles looks like a mallet. She is wearing her silver grey hair loose over her shoulders, and is smiling as she speaks to the camera. The transcript of what she says forms the main body of this post, as above.
Towards the end of the video, there is a transition and we see her standing up, showing she is wearing stonewashed blue jeans too. She has a very small practise pad on a stand, and plays the Diddle Egg Five rudiment, leading with her left hand first, then repeating and leading with her right hand. Behind her at all ties we can see some grey shelves, on which a large number of instruments are placed. We can also see part of a Gamelan set called the ‘Flower of the Spirit’ which was commissioned by Evelyn, and a marimba which has a black plastic cover with white piping protecting it.
