Links to other drumming-related stories from around the Web this past week:
- Anthrax Drummer to Perform With the Band Heavy The Fall. Charlie Benante is taking time off hocking coffee to do a little jammin’. And he sounds mighty fucking fine. Check out the vids at the link.
- Is He “Little Dumber Boy” or Misunderstood Genius? A movie critic talks drumming with John C. Reilly and Rainn Wilson.
- Switzerland’s Sensational Top Secret Drum Corps. We’ve heard stories for a while now about how these dudes shred. If you’re in Johannesburg between September 11 and 14, check ‘em out. And send us some clips!
- The Future of the Guru System: An Interview With Zakir Hussain. The guru system—practicing 20 years just to become an apprentice—is dying, but is that such a bad thing? Tabla master Zakir Hussain weighs in.

- An Old Sound in Harlem Draws New Neighbors’ Ire. Some upscale douchebags ain’t got no love for brutha thumpas.
- Dog Drummer vs. Def Leppard Drummer. This piece is rather on the mean side of funny, but Rick Allen does at least come out ahead of the drumming mutt. We could have gone all day, though, without seeing the first four seconds of the second video. Fuck!
- Mortification Announces New Drummer. The Christian metalers have a new skin slayer—Dave Kilgallon.
- Riverdance Drummer Sues Over Tinnitus. Wimp.
- Rush Rock Progressively Harder. A pedestrian review of a Rush show. It even includes this my-article-is-way-too-short sentence: “That was especially true when the skull-cap-wearing drummer sat alone on stage, giving his multi-piece, rotating set a serious drubbing.” But, hey, it’s about Rush and Neil Peart, so we’re duty bound to read it.
