Learning about other drummers has been a huge influence on my own development and understanding of music. I hope that this blog helps you to develop you own knowledge and playing. It is only meant as an introduction to the players; go further by listening to their music, and go out and see as many drummers playing live as you can! I will add any events of particular interest to the news on the home page, so keep an eye out for things you can go to!
