Drummer Magazine

More on Drummer Magazine

What makes a good drummer? Ask many people, and they’ll simply say: a drum. But the drummer of a band, though often the member most neglected by the press or the fans, often has the most important role of all.

If a band can’t keep time with each other, there’s no way they’re ever get further than Dad’s garage on a Sunday evening. A drummer anchors a band, and the beat provides the basis for every song. The first thing you hear the beginning of most songs is the tap – tap – tap – tap as the drummer counts in. The importance of drumming cannot be underestimated.

That’s why this publication is a must-have for all aspiring or more experienced drummers: to make it big, a drummer has to stay on top of his game, with the latest equipment a single copy of Drummer magazine can introduce him to, but also with the trickiest rhythms Drummer magazine can teach him. It’s like having your drum teacher in your pocket.

And then there are the drummers who don’t drum in a band: the people you’ll find sat at a little English festival in a ring around a fire with djembes between their knees and hung around their waists: producing collective rhythms that swell the night air and touch the listener on a deeper, more primal level.

Drumming is a language that not many people really understand, or write off as easy. Not so. A subscription to Drummer magazine will help you learn and revise your grasp of that language.

Drummer Magazine is in the Other category and is just one of over 3,000 magazines now available at Newsstand, to browse recent front covers of Drummer Magazine, please click here.
