Drum It With Brummet

    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​  ​ ~~~

  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...
