by Troy Hoffman
Drummers used to be predominantly known as mere noisemakers (not musicians) coming out of the Vaudeville-era, where percussionists were seen as background tools.

2000 Rewind
by Chris M. Slawecki
You can drive yourself crazy trying to determine the “best" releases of this or any other year.
