Yoyoka. 🫣

My band are working out a cover of this cracker. Seems straightforward enough, then I thought: do I hear the drummer playing the rim of his toms? He's doing something awkward judging by his facial expression...

I guess a lot of musicians have seen this bizarre effect of oscillations before - but if you haven't - it's very strange!

How's this for a musical way to start the school day? ADHD-friendly?

Our rehearsal space is a wooden shed. Wood walls and wood floor too. We're trying to record some demos of our songs - but my bass drum is resonating ridiculosly and way too loud. Apart from removing the reso head and filling it up like a front loading washing machine - is there anything that...

He was a drummer - "and a very good one too". Instagram clip here:

It's just an old floor tom in an antique shop that's been brush painted - but I'm curious what it was in its heyday. Nice Art Deco lugs on it (and slotted rods).

Here's a song I've just rediscovered since learning to play drums. The sheer coiled-up energy in this groove blows my mind. I quite literally HAVE to jump up and dance around every time I hear it. What's the secret? (Beside an ace singer and song, obvs) Is it my imagination or is the drummer...

Has this been spotted by Drummerworld yet? A talk on drum construction - I'm only half way through - but it's an eye-opener. The construction of Ludwigs into the sixties is truly gruesome! 😨

Love this gorgeous recording - but what kind of rhythm is it - and how is it counted? I seem to be able to count the snare beat as on the 2 and 4 - or on the 'ands' of 1 and 3... Asking for a friend - counting is not his core strength. 🙄

Sounds good to me. Never heard of it before - what do you grizzled veterans think?

Usual great Beato interview - don't miss the eye-popping drum solo at 1.05.45! That can't be doing his nervous/ vascular system any good, can it? 👀

Hi, anyone who's a fan of Soul/ Motown drumming should have a peek at this guy's playlist: I love his big open drum sound and choice of tracks. My new fave resource for drum demos!

The youtube algorithm (rhythm?) threw this at me. I had to share it. Sorry. 😜

Hi, E Kit boffins - any ideas on this problem? I've got a pretty basic Session Pro DD505 kit (bit of a 'stencil' kit - Millenium do one that is visually identical) - one day the pedal went inop, so I bought a second hand replacement, but no joy. The hihat will only make the 'closed' sound when...

Spotted this kit on Timothy Roberts' cymbal-making youtube channel. Ever seen drums this thin (shallow)? How do they sound to you?

Is Timothy Roberts' youtube channel known here? Lovely process to watch 👀❤

Rick Beato just completed the set of Police interviews with his Stewart Copeland interview. Stewart as painfully introverted as ever. At one point about halfway through, I think Rick gets a word in edgeways.

I'm in my first band with some highly experienced gigging musicians - last week we went to a local recording studio to capture a couple of our original songs. I had suggested the band record Scratch Tracks on my phone of us playing the songs before we went so I could have them in my headphones...
