Is this some obscure form of avant garde jazz drumming, somewhat similar to the hands of a clock traveling at different speeds but keeping the same time... or just another insane drummer from Africa?

AFRICAN DRUMMER

If we're to believe in Evolution
setting Creation aside for now
connected kith and kin
collectively under the skin
we all hail from Africa somehow
it's the continent from whence came
drummers and the drum
the heart and soul of the community
Kenya-born and bred
of the the former I am but one
the juxtaposition of complex interweaving
creates the vital spark
with contrasting rhythmic patterns
of cross-rhythms and polyrhythms
for dancing in the dark
altho' no or few African words for rhythm
let alone music or rhyme
I can play them all in tempo
in fact I can do more than two
at the self-same time
