Do you even reverb bro? - For the full edit > link in bio. - Playing drums in an abandoned mine - a lovely day out for all the family. Simply navigate your way down the perilous slope whilst holding a bass drum, past all the old rusting equipment, and you’re there. Easy. - @meinlcymbals @evansdrumheads @gretschdrums @meinlstickandbrush @shure https://www.instagram.com/p/B55aoCJAh79/?igshid=1ngqjgadm1j1m

Charlie Watts, or to use his full name, Charlie Fucking Watts, and some other rando, probably a crazed fan or sth - #drums #rollingstones #charliewatts #vintage https://www.instagram.com/p/B5p8XUpAXSb/?igshid=6q69la0lxtto

Personally I’d clear out all that other stuff in the back - there’s room for at least another 15 drum kits in there. Look at your belongings and ask: do I really need that [bed]? Could I put a drum kit in its place and at night curl up next to it on the cold concrete floor like a cat? - #drums - @dixondrums https://www.instagram.com/p/B5n-qjxAQy8/?igshid=1oucgek6y5eho

Remember if you’re going to the theatre don’t forget to record the full performance on your phone so you can watch the performance on your phone when you get home. Also your fellow audience members will appreciate the relaxing ambient light of your phone screen as you hold it up, as well as giving those near the back a better view of what’s happening on stage. #protip - 📷 by @olawinkler78 - https://www.instagram.com/drummersjournal/p/BwzrCBaAY6S/?igshid=1c7wmuvkpgpq1

Might delete later idk. Nirvana, February 15, 1990, LA. Kurt could play drums pretty well according to the millions of hours I’ve spent on YouTube. - Issue 17 out now. Free to all.

Ah Lucky Charms - not readily available in Europe because they technically have to be sold as confectionary and not breakfast cereal. That’s why they’re delicious.

Got a craving for a Granny Smith now. I’m assuming Granny Smith’s transcend cultural boundaries, because if not, reading about how someone is craving a Granny Smith and not knowing what that is must be very strange indeed. 🍏 - 📷 @cartermac https://www.instagram.com/drummersjournal/p/Bv4qDRhHYCw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=108g9jmb2m1lt

It’s hard to know what to say about Hal. He was one of the most prolific drummers to have lived, and contributed such a huge amount to modern music. Listen to the drum part on Be My Baby - it’s an iconic break with one of the most straight up evil snare sounds I’ve ever heard. RIP Hal - one of the greats. There’s a good playlist of Spotify - give it a spin. - #drums #drummers #drumming #drumset #drumkit #halblaine #rip #greatest #drummer https://www.instagram.com/drummersjournal/p/Bu6vqIaHwfP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=flq4vxph23wq
