THINGS ARE BUZZIN’ The past couple weeks have been totally buzzin’. And today… mental! So I thought I’d finish Friday with a wee post full of information on this Sundays upcoming spectacular! Anika Nilles will be at Meinl Day Scotland! Had quite a few calls regarding whether she’d be attending this special edition of our Scottish Drum Festival.  This will be Anika’s only UK date for 2017. And it’s happening because – despite having to cancel dates before and after ours due to a couple medical procedures to repair a drumming-related injury – she insisted on joining us for the day.

Meinl Cymbals at the UK Drum Show 2017 It was a massive honour to be invited by MEINL Cymbals to represent their brand at the first-ever UK Drum Show in Manchester. As one of MEINL’s UK Hand Selection Cymbal Specialists I regularly visit the HQ in Germany to purchase my stock for dD Drums, so I’ve got a deep understanding of the cymbal making process and know those cymbals and their sounds very well. I’ve also developed a great relationship with the lads in Gutenstetten, and I can tell you that we’ve had some seriously good laughs. They love what they do and work really hard.  The UK ..read more

We had yet another incredible weekend just past with our Kaz Rodriguez Easter weekend takeover! From the moment Kaz arrived at dD Drums on the Thursday. Arriving by car, with his kit in the back after driving 9 hours from London I could tell he was more than up for the weekend we had all planned. I say planned. It was more a case of unfolded. Read on for the full story of how an awesome weekend happens around here… Initially with the support of my good friends at Roland UK we planned a Roland Hybrid night. We were lucky enough to secure UK product specialist John Pullan to demonstrate a world ..read more

  Hi and thanks for checking out Let’s Do Drums #2! In January in my first Let’s Do Drums I wrote from a personal perspective of what I was taking into 2017 so Let’s do Drums was not only about what dD Drums could do for you, your drumming or your drum kit; it was also about sharing insight into what goes on here in the shop…and in my head. And its purpose is to help bring us all closer together as a community of drummers. We are, to quote the well-worn cliché, all in this music thing together. My intention was also to commit to a monthly release on the developments of dD D ..read more

I’ve just had an incredible couple of days at the hands of the one and only Meinl Family at their home base in Guttenstetten, Germany on my latest visit to select their beautiful cymbals for dD Drums. In fact at this point i’m midair flying home battering all my buzz frantically into my iPad to hopefully capture how awesomely cool this place really is! Since 2015 I’ve had the dream job of hand selecting Meinl’s Byzance Hand hammered Cymbals for my customers direct from their cymbal vault and yes it is as AMAZING a job as it sounds! I’m very fortunate not only to do this but also to h ..read more

A reflective look over the dD Drums 2016 on Instagram this morning has left me Absolutely Buzzing for 2017 and inspired these few words and killer pictures of what we all got up to together here in Falkirk – of all places! Tried to keep it to 12 pictures but there was absolutely no chance of that so decided to get my Insta vibe on. Firstly though what I’d really like to say is I’ve enjoyed coming together, sharing stories, our passions for either gear, players or just plain music chat. We’ve grown closer and together, glown brighter than ever before. Truth is it’s beating stronger and mo ..read more

Fantastic couple of days at dD Drums at the hands (and feet!) of the one and only Gabor Dornyei. As part of his ‘Percussive Drumming and Independence’ clinic tour Gabor wanted to visit his pals up here in Bonnie Scotland. Having twice played at our Scottish Drum Fest this great player has found himself quite popular up here- so how could I possibly say no… This time we split the weekend over an intimate and dare I say ‘famous’  Evening with…  sessions on the Saturday night and a day of One to One tuition on the Sunday. Here’s a little more on our weekend… Evening with ..read more

Well, what can I say? Really! After months of preparation our 5th annual Scottish Drum Festival has come, been a smashing success… and is now gone. Well, gone until we – you, me and some great players – do it again in 2017. I know you’ve heard a lot from me lately, so I’ll keep this short. Well, shorter than it could be, as I’ve got so much to say and so many people to thank.     First, everyone who has attended over the years… Aye, what would dD Drums and the festival be without you? As has been noted, some of the biggest cities in the world don’t have a drum festival but we do in ..read more
