The legends of technique

 https://youtu.be/LPec5QvXbHk?si=vdCRZ3NAJdaTAqgn This is a great interview with the ambassador of drumming. We lost Dom Famularo in 2023 but his words live on and continue to inspire the young drummers coming up. His comment on how when using George Stone's freestroke technique: "we aren't controlling the stick we are guiding it" makes so much sense. 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   ~~~

Heavy Metal Grooves

  Heavy Metal Grooves with Tommy Aldridge I was so impressed by how well-spoken Tommy Aldridge is in this video. The discussion reveals this large vocabulary, and his thoughtful, tasteful explanations for the viewers.  Here Tommy plays drums like a dance, displays his comprehensive knowledge and shares entertaining tales of past experiences.  https://youtu.be/eSV4I_ah94o?si=t37jhpklG7JEQwea ~~~     Find our Books:   on Amazon Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

Join in the next drum circle

  Drum It With Brummet's Public Hand Drum Circles  July 29th (Tuesday)  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, padded seats in an air-con...

Zawinul Syndicate Live

 Today we have the honour of sharing yet another recommended music video for you to enjoy. The Zawinul Syndicate Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival (1997).  Here we get to witness Paco Sery on drums and Manolo Badrena on percussion.  I had heard of  these two for years, but until now had never seen them perform.  Wow!  All I can say is these guys are having a lot of fun at their jobs and the musicians they are with definitely benefit from it.  Amazing musicianship all around. ** RIP Joe Zawinul (1932-2007) https://youtu.be/cZeDgilYrFU?si=y08XnhJN0Fw5yeTZ ~~~     Find our Books:   on Amazon Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~
