Poetry & Music

  A professional drummer/percussionist and educator, Dave has collaborated on many songs that later led to him writing lyrics of his own. Most of his poems in this book (Rhythm and Rhyme) were in fact initially written as song lyrics, thus the presence of repeating choruses through out.  AMAZON USA:   https://www.amazon.com/dp/1495478890 AMAZON CANADA:   https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1495478890 Lillian began writing poetry as a teenager, which allowed her to express the issues and emotions from a broken home, abusive childhood and being on her own at the age of 13.

Lillian is passionate about poetry and continues to write in this genre between marketing their books and working on new manuscripts.

   Drum It With Brummet's Public Hand Drum Circles  August 26th (Tuesday)  7 PM - 9  PM (Pacific) This  2-hour e vent is held monthly, and is for all skill levels and are a lot of fun for ages 15 -80. Bring your own drum, or percussive instrument, but  if you do not have a drum - let us know as we do have a limited supply that we are able to let participants use for events like this.   Drum Circle  participants simply "play” at making music with a variety of drums and percussion instruments. This activity requires careful listening to the music at that moment, as it is being played by members in the room. Rather than being instructed, participants learn to "jam" with other drummers.  Dave Brummet  facilitates these events to ensure everyone is comfortable, playing at an enjoyable volume and having a great time. Held in a beautiful setting in Downtown Creston, BC - this specially designed music room features large, soft, padded ...

The legends of technique

 https://youtu.be/LPec5QvXbHk?si=vdCRZ3NAJdaTAqgn This is a great interview with the ambassador of drumming. We lost Dom Famularo in 2023 but his words live on and continue to inspire the young drummers coming up. His comment on how when using George Stone's freestroke technique: "we aren't controlling the stick we are guiding it" makes so much sense. This interview is full of some fascinating history of drums and the music industry. ~~~     Follow the Brummet's on:   Amazon Visit Their Blogs:   Brummet's Conscious Blog Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe (for free):   Brummet Media YouTube Channel   ~~~

Heavy Metal Grooves

  Heavy Metal Grooves with Tommy Aldridge I was so impressed by how well-spoken Tommy Aldridge is in this video. The discussion reveals this large vocabulary, and his thoughtful, tasteful explanations for the viewers.  Here Tommy plays drums like a dance, displays his comprehensive knowledge and shares entertaining tales of past experiences.  https://youtu.be/eSV4I_ah94o?si=t37jhpklG7JEQwea ~~~     Find our Books:   on Amazon Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~
