This week’s deals

By Kyle

Hey all! It’s been awhile I know but I’m hoping to start posting again on a somewhat regular schedule. So here are a couple deals going on currently you might be interested in…

Steve Weiss Music is offering free shipping on orders over $49 through May 21st. They have some of the best prices and a huge selection so if you haven’t visited before (the horror!) or it’s been some time since you did, now is a good opportunity to check them out.

Lone Star Percussion has a limited time deal you’re going to love. Buy any Evans practice pad and get a pair of Pro Mark drumsticks for free! Pads start as low as $21.95 and any pair of Pro Mark snare drum or drum set sticks is eligible for this great deal! Go get them. Now. No seriously, what are you waiting for? I’ll wait…

Great Buddy Rich Site

By Kyle

Several years ago I discovered an absolute treasure on the internet: Mike James Jazz. He has assembled a collection of 23 live concert recordings of the masterful Buddy Rich laying it down like only he could do. The recording quality of each concert is rated as low, medium or high and notes about most of the concerts are also included. If you’re a fan of the great Buddy Rich, or just want to hear an awesome artist at the top of his game, check out these concert recordings. He also has photos and videos of Buddy as well. Enjoy!

Welcome!

By Kyle

Welcome to Drummin’ Around. It is my hope that what you find here will be of benefit whether you’re a student (beginner or advanced) or educator. My focus will be on rudimental literacy and the application of rudiments in practice and performance. Thus far, I’ve included some classic rudimental solos, a wide variety of links to some not-so-known sites that are full of great information, and the beginning of a Care and Maintenance section that beginners and teachers of beginners will find of interest. And if there is something you would like to see included here, please let me know.
