Poetry & Music

  A professional drummer/percussionist and educator, Dave has collaborated on many songs that later led to him writing lyrics of his own.

This interview is full of some fascinating history of drums and the music industry. ~~~     Follow the Brummet's on:   Amazon Visit Their Blogs:   Brummet's Conscious Blog Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe (for free):   Brummet Media YouTube Channel   ~~~
