Answering Your Q's

    Answering Your Q's  Q:  What resources do you recommend for drummers that could widen their experience of the realm of percussion? Definitely check out the group Stomp which uses everything from their bodies to brooms and water to create rhythm. One of my favourite bands is Vinx , which is entirely percussion and vocals.  Mickey Hart, the drummer for the Grateful Dead , went on this lifetime quest to learn about world drums and he has some great music too. His latest CD is called Superlingua , which merges musicians from around the world. I totally recommend his two books Planet Drum  and Drumming at the Edge of Magic to anyone who is interested in drums from around the world. Rusted Root is a great group that incorporates reggae and world beats in a funky style. Drum Prayer is a good group, too. But if you want to hear true Senegalese drum music try Dou Dou  Rose .

Drum Trash

    Drum Trash As a drummer, sustainable entrepreneur and instrument inventor, I am forever finding uses for items often thrown away.  Broken drum sticks: Cut down & sand rough areas smooth - to make cowbell beaters.  Cut down and attach rubber ball to make sticks for hand pans. Tool handles in the workshop. I utilize short pieces for djembe repairs. Giveaways at performances (a broken stick has a story - tell them which song you broke it on!) Sign it and it is even more special. Use in the garden. Mark measurements on the stick, and use to make holes just the right depth for the seeds. Alternatively, use as a stake-marker - poking the stick in at each end of the newly sown row. ~~~     Follow Dave:   on Amazon Subscribe to:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

Drum Trash

    Drum Trash As a drummer, sustainable entrepreneur and instrument inventor, I am forever finding uses for items often thrown away.  Reuse cowbells: A broken cowbell can be cut down to a smaller version of what it once was but with a higher pitch.  I once cut down a large, cracked cowbell to about a third of its original size. It turned out to have a very unique, high pitch not readily found on the percussion market.  ~~~     Follow Dave:   on Amazon Subscribe to:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~
