Drum It With Brummet

    Did you know that Dave is also an author ?  Find this book at:  https://www.amazon.ca/Down-Road-Collection-Dave-Brummet-ebook/dp/B0DYS8DVS9 His family memoir recently received this amazing review: “Lillian and Dave - your  Down the Road  feels like a time capsule cracked open with heartbeats still echoing inside.  Four generations, wars, migrations, love, grit you didn’t just write a memoir; you stitched a quilt out of history’s forgotten whispers.  The kind of book that smells like old photographs and coffee-stained letters. You two have done it all from talk radio to blogging to drumming up (literally) inspiration and somehow your story still deserves louder applause.”  ~ M.

    This is one of our favourite performances by these master musicians, led by Jesse Cook.   Set in an empty theater, the musican is taken away with his music and in his mind a stunning performance emerges, only to find that at the end it was all in his mind.  Such a cool theatrical way of presenting this concert.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6343H42j_YI Find our Books:   on Amazon Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

  Dave - the author - & musician 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 were in fact initially written as song lyrics, thus the presence of repeating choruses though out.  Actually it was Dave who first sparked the idea for the Brummet’s to walk this path they tread today – he decided to take a writer’s course to learn what he might be able to do with his short stories that he has compiled over the years.  Most of those stories have remained unpublished to this day due to other projects taking precedence, but Dave plans to release some in the near future. His poem UFO Dream  is the theme of one of his soon-to-be novels that he has been working on. Today we are sharing one of Dave's poems excerpted from the book: Rhythm & Rhyme Grooveyard Author note:  * My thesis on the magic of the power of music. How it keeps us young and take...

  Tuning Concepts I would like to share some knowledge on tuning your drums the old fashioned way - by using your ears and a drum key. Yes, there are several tools available to help you tune a drum, but personally, I believe in learning the old school way before costly gadgets and tools were available. Besides, not everyone has the budget for one of these devices ($65-$150) or wishes to pack around another thing. Over the past 45 years I have developed a system that for me, has worked - and got me a ton of work in recording studios, because my drums sounded so darn good! Good sounding drums make me play better which in turn makes the band I am playing with sound as best as it can. I have always received positive comments on the sound of my drums and engineers rarely had any changes to make. I know the effort it takes to tune my drums well is worth it when onstage a guest vocalist turns around and says, "man those sound great!"  Rather than repeat what another drummer has alre...
