Drum Magazines

Online magazines can offer you what no print magazine can: Video and sound. But that doesn't mean print magazines are obsolete! Here's your resource to the leading drum magazines, percussion, and music magazines in both print and online versions.

Classic Drummer Magazine
This quarterly drum magazine, formerly Vintage Drummer, features articles and interviews covering Classic drum gear and Classic drummers! Check it out.

Down Beat
The granddaddy of all jazz magazines, Down Beat now comes in a great online version. Not drums specific but you can download MP3s of top jazz tunes, learn all about jazz, get info on artists (including drummers) and the latest events, and more.

Drum!
Drum! Magazine.com includes a drum calendar that lists birthdays of your favorite drummers and drum events. They will list your drum event for free. Articles, media reviews, forums, and chat rooms are also on-site. The print version is published monthly. Subscribe online.

DrumPRO Magazine
Relatively new on the scene, this growing online magazine currently offers free downloads of books, issues of its magazine, and videos. Access to additional material requires a monthly subscription fee.

Hip Rhythm Digest
For drummers only! This hip zine offers exercises on rudiments, groove transcriptions, and more. Subscription is free but, obviously because it is strictly a labor of love, it is published on a "completely irregular basis," according to the publisher. Subscribe so you don't miss the next one.

Keyboard Online
Did you know that the piano is a percussion instrument? My favorite print magazine for the keyboard now has an online version. And even if you're not into keyboards, if you're into digital percussion, midi files, or related electronic gear, then this one's for you.

Modern Drummer Magazine
I remember way back when Ron Spagnardi (the publisher) first began printing this – it was in the basement of his house! He’s come a long way, baby. One of the best drum magazines in the business. (I would have said that even if they hadn't given my book a great review!)

Not So Modern Drummer Magazine
Articles on drum history, classified wanted and for sale ads, restoration tips, info to help you identify and date vintage drums, and more.

Percussion News
This is an online sample of the official newsletter of the Percussive Arts Society, published six times a year. Contains industry news, upcoming events, and some exercises.

Piper & Drummer
If you're into Scottish Pipe and Drums, this is for you. The quarterly print publication is free to members and non-members can buy a subscription. Online copy looks good too, and the price is right: Zilch.

Roots World
This zine has been on the net since 1995. It's Cliff Furnald's baby and is a reflection of what he loves most: Folk and World Music. Not percussion specific but if you like this music, you'll find lots of reviews, news, and interviews here. Subscription is free but 20 bucks a year will get you free CDs, an email newsletter, and other neat stuff.

If you like magazines? You'll dig books too!
Entertaining tales of the music and drumming industry.
