This is going to be a regular column at Dreaded Drummer Productions.  We’ll be discussing a wide range of topics dealing with the world of rudimental drumming, fife & drum corps, legendary drummers, drum & bugle corps, musters, The Company of Fifers & Drummers and anything else that gets us thinking.  Sometimes we may be paying tribute to an individual or group, while other weeks we may cross that line leading to controversy.

Whether you agree with our views or not please share your thoughts by dropping us an email at
