Drum It With Brummet

  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  Most of those stories have remained unpublished to this day due to other projects taking precedence, but Dave plans to release some in the near future.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.

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.

  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​  ​ ~~~
