Latest Drum News

This year we published well over 1,000 stories but some of them stood out beyond the pack, and some, we chose to add.

One interesting discovery is that the 2-most read stories of the year were posted in 2021 and the interest carried through to 2022.  The story about John Douglas being Joey Kramer’s replacement is visited daily but not at the time of posting, this became a big read when Aerosmith started performing and concert attendees started asking the question, “where’s Joey” & “who is that guy”.  Like clockwork you could see the numbers rack up during and after an Aerosmith performance.

And finally Drumming News Network news. Thanks to you the visitors, the interest in what we are doing is growing and we are now considered to be a significant contributor to drumming news.  This year was truly a big year for us, many connections with new companies and people were created, we were honored as Modern Drummer started adding our news feed to their daily news aggregator.  We were and are still honored to have been selected as the Primary Media Sponsor of the 2023 Hit Like A Girl contest.

2023 looks like an exciting year ahead for us.  Once again, thank you for visiting our site and helping to spread the word. 

We wish you a very successful and happy 2023!
