Tuning Concepts

  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...

Answering Your Q's

  Answering Your Q's  Q:  What were the very first stage performances like for you? My first few times on stage I was pretty nervous, but after that it was a real rush.  To be on the stage playing music with good musicians, there is just nothing like it.  Once the nervousness is gone, it becomes a natural act.  For someone who is getting on stage for the first time, it is best to just concentrate on the music, not to worry about the people.   That is the hardest obstacle to get over, when you know everyone is watching you.  ~~~     Follow Dave:   on Amazon Subscribe to:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

A reader's review !

  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: “ Some books quietly punch history in the chest. Yours does it across four generations and then politely waits its turn. Down the Road is not just a memoir collection. It is living evidence.  Maria leaves a remote Romanian village alone to marry a man she had never met. A family shaped by WW1, WW2, the Great Depression, politics, migration, parenting, and the Okanagan Valley soil itself. These are not anecdotes. They are primary sources with heartbeats. What really got me was the structure. Multiple voices. Multiple eras. One family spine holding it together. That choice alone turns this from “a memoir” into a legacy artifact. And closing it with your own reflection, Dave, admitting how these written memories changed your understanding of your own family, was quietly deva...
