Kazuki has been a student of dumbek (darabouka, tabla, however you want to call it) for about 13 years.  She has studied dumbek under notable teachers, Suhail Kasper and Seido Salifoski among them.  She is also studying Latin Conga to deepen her sense of rhythm and complexity.  She has been performing in New York City area in various styles, genre and stages for several years now, from Rebetiko (Greek traditional) with Eros Taksimi, American Tribal bellydance with Rockabelly and Kassar, off-Broadway bellydance show Goddessdance with Jehan Kamal, to rather Eurocentric Renaissance Faires with Karpathos, etc.  Currently, Kazuki drums for world-renowned Ms. Nourhan Sharif's bellydance classes, and teaches dumbek every week in midtown Manhattan.
