Drum It With Brummet

  Drum It With Brummet's Public Hand Drum Circles  July 29th (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 seats in an air-con...

 Today we have the honour of sharing yet another recommended music video for you to enjoy. The Zawinul Syndicate Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival (1997).  Here we get to witness Paco Sery on drums and Manolo Badrena on percussion.  I had heard of  these two for years, but until now had never seen them perform.  Wow!  All I can say is these guys are having a lot of fun at their jobs and the musicians they are with definitely benefit from it.  Amazing musicianship all around. ** RIP Joe Zawinul (1932-2007) https://youtu.be/cZeDgilYrFU?si=y08XnhJN0Fw5yeTZ ~~~     Find our Books:   on Amazon Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

  Rack Ring Ever noticed that metallic “ping” sound that resonates from your drum rack? Most of us don’t so try not to panic. A majority of drum rack systems have a hollow metal tube as the main part of the structure.  Those tubes can resonate with every hit to the drum or cymbal that is attached to it. It is very subtle but it can be an issue when recording with close micing techniques.  I tried to devise a way to alleviate this extra noise and have come up with an easy and affordable solution – noodles! Yes, those colorful foam pool noodles that you buy at the toy store are the solution. I simply cut them lengthwise into sizes that fit just slightly snug into the inside of each tube so it contacts the metal around it. It has the same effect as if you grabbed the metal tube with a soft gloved hand.  Suddenly all the extra ring is soaked up by this lightweight (and invisible) slice of a kids toy. You can fill the full length for maximum deadening but I usually do len...
