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...

Drum carpets

  Drum carpets There are a lot of drummers who battle the creeps. Bass drum creeping out on every thump, hi-hat stand is a similar issue - always needing herding back to its spot. Some use straps attached to their throne to tether the creeping things but this is not the answer. Simple fix: a drum rug. There are many available online that are just as good and come in different dimensions for your size.  I buy mine from the hardware store ( Home Hardware $85) in dimensions of 48" x 72" and it has lasted for over 20 years with little signs of wear. Made for outdoor entrances, they are rubber backed and very tough. Also they are very easy to clean either with a carpet shampooer, garden hose or pressure washer. Once I sprayed, soaped and scrubbed mine off at a carwash on the way home from a particular beer spilled night! Just make sure to leave it unrolled for a few days to dry out.  I mark my rack and pedal positions with black Gorilla brand duct tape, as it is very thick an...

Answering Your Q's

  Answering Your Q's  Q: What were your earliest memories of drum influences? I started right after high school when I got my first drum-set and met some other musicians. I have been a big fan of Phil Collins & Genesis , Joey Kramer of Aerosmith and Neil Peart from Rush . But, really, I just had this drive to get on stage. I played drum-set for about nine years and a lot of different music such as rock, country, blues, reggae, R. & B.; even in a waltz band, ( Yawn ). When I saw Lenny Castro perform with Toto - that really turned me on to percussion. It made me think that, whoa, there are other things out there than just drums-et; you know, shakers & cowbells, timbales and congas. It wasn't long before I got my first set of congas, and not long after that I met David Thiaw, a Senegalese Drum Master, who became my mentor.  I have always respected his playing; what he can do with a djembe is just magical. He is a master with his hands.  Soon I was into tal...
