There’s nothing that compares to an incredible musical performance in a fantastic room. @FluteSwede’s Band of Pulses at @NationalSawdust made last night magical! #livejazz #livemusicnyc #nationalsawdust

i think the issue right now is most underground music doesn’t ask for attention and therefore our entire understanding of the music industry is shaped by people who are great at demanding attention whether their music is good or not

Our final episode of Season Five! Hard to believe that this is our 260th episode. 🤯
Tuning any drum by ear can be a challenge but snare drums often lead to great frustration if you don’t know exactly what to listen for and how to get started with adjustments. We’ll help you with that! https://t.co/qHJrrVS2g1 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

New York City typically has a reading of 12 micrograms of particles per cubic meter volume of air. On a subway platform, two researchers registered a reading up to 660. That’s a 5,400% increase from typical city levels. https://t.co/M6WXJapWTh

The team, which previously studied air quality in the subway system, found that particulate matter increased when going down into the Broadway-Lafayette station in Lower Manhattan.

Many of you have noticed how the concepts and themes throughout our episodes run deep and far beyond the world of drums or even music. Ideas like maintaining an open and accepting mind are fundamental elements of Sounds Like a Drum.
