Drummers on the beach

Drummers on the beach "On the 9th of September 2018, 2.000 drummers & percussion players assembled on the beach of Scheveningen, The Netherlands.  They played a 2-hour concert called ‘FOUR HORIZONS in front of a crowd of 40.000 visitors, conducted by Cesar Zuiderwijk (drummer of GOLDEN EARRING, DRUM DEMONS) and produced by Koen Herfst (DRUM DEMONS, ARMIN VAN BUUREN). This is a compilation of the 2-hour concert…enjoy, and share the video with your drum-friends!"  https://youtu.be/1O3xjhC9MHU ~~~   Find us online via:  https://taplink.cc/brummet  ~~~ 

Musician Resources

     Kootenay / Boundary Musician Resources The Kootenay & Boundary regions are filled with artists of all kinds including of course, musicians of all shapes and sizes playing noise makers of every kind you could imagine. :) If you don't reside or vacation here, don't worry you can still use these resources to network.

The hardest part here is having the patience to take things slowly, one step at a time. We are not in a position to outsource or hire help and therefore everything is on our shoulders - the weight can sometimes feel quite heavy. COVID of course brought on the greatest hardship because it resulted in shutting down the teaching services and much of the studio for 2 years. Also live gigs dried up for a while.  Now it has once again opened up with a new excitement from the students due to that down time. My band, too, is really busy now that establishments can have live performances again. Sometimes a break from the schedule can inspire a new love for music and rhythm. “Absence makes the heart gro
