Beyond The Liner Notes - May 10, 2019

Ever since there’s been music, drums have kept the time; but in so many cases, they’ve become a big part of the music or the only music.  From Toto’s nod in their song “Africa” to the drum-heavy artistry in Japanese taiku groups, drums are a fundamental part of everyone’s music.  This week, Brian Renner and P.T. Bridgeport present a range of percussion pros, from international playing to favorite US drummers.  Join us this Friday at 11 am for drumming at it’s finest.
