Buy Local

  Buy Local interviewed Dave in 2022, and in this discussion Dave was able to talk about the special voice that each drum has and how each drum indigates its origins:  “After 40 plus years of playing percussion & drums, I know what kind of voice every drum can have, every size every shape, every type of head and the kind of material the drum is made out of.  So I always wait a few days after I repair it or service it to ensure that drum has the very best sound that can be gotten out of it.  …there are a lot of different drums in Africa, when you go from country to country they will have different names for the same drums, or the same rhythm. Different regions will have different drums too – the dry areas will have high-pitch drum, lower humidity regions have a lower sound so you can almost tell where the drum came from based on the sound.” Find the discussion @ :  https://www.facebook.com/buylocalcreston/videos/1527874404302277 ~~~     Find o...

Sound Choices

  https://youtu.be/YU5_NJfNunQ? I can not say enough about the people at Drumeo and how they continue to generously supply these great (free) videos of some of the top drummers in the industry. They also have a big selection of online lessons of various styles for one to pick and choose from. I personally have been opened up to drummers and concepts that I would have never been aware of before and have learned so much from them. Very inspiring if you are in a rut of any kind with your drumming.  This video with Todd Sucherman is one of my recent favourites. He is just a normal guy doing a very good job at his craft and he passes his experience on in a way that feels (to me) of a casual conversation with a good friend. ~~~     Find our Books:   on Amazon Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

Hand Drum Circle

     Drum It With Brummet's Hand Drum Circles  September 24th (Wednesday)  7 PM - 9  PM (Pacific) This  2-hour e vent is held monthly, and is for all skill levels and are a lot of fun for ages 15 -80. Bring your own drum, or percussive instrument, but  if you do not have a drum - let us know as we do have a limited supply that we are able to let participants use for events like this.   Drum Circle  participants simply "play” at making music with a variety of drums and percussion instruments. This activity requires careful listening to the music at that moment, as it is being played by members in the room. Rather than being instructed, participants learn to "jam" with other drummers.  Dave Brummet  facilitates these events to ensure everyone is comfortable, playing at an enjoyable volume and having a great time. Held in a beautiful setting in Downtown Creston, BC - this specially designed music room features large, soft, pa...
