I have to start by saying that over the years that we’ve had YouTube and all these drum videos at our disposal, I’ve spent quite a bit of time watching drum solos, drum covers… trying to find new interesting players. Sometimes I find it’s easy to forget musicians / bands… then one day it strikes … Read more

Gene Krupa, a name very well known propably to most drummers who are “a bit older” (sorry guys and gals!)… but one that every young drummer should look up. I’m probably like most musicians with access to the internet nowadays in that I’ll spend quite a bit of time looking for performances from my favorite … Read more
