Just a quick message to ask what drummers/bands you all have been listening to lately? I've been on an Opeth kick, and also listening to a bunch from the band BARN, out of Boise. They are immense.

One of the best of our time. Check out the left china fill at 2:36. So insane. And he plays like butter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbtRea5NASs

TONIGHT at 10 PM EST I will be part of the Very Metal XMAS Twitch Charity Raid Train. I took part in this event last year, and it was a lot of fun. We raised thousands for Toys For Tots, and aim to do the same again this year! Toys For Tots, a 78-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during each Christmas holiday season. Come Hang Out! I have a cool prize for the top donation! https://www.twitch.tv/sickdrummermagazine ~Ian

In the interest of being totally transparent, we have attached a screengrab from our "About" tab on the community home page, so everyone can see how we plan on rolling out content based on subscription levels. Premium Membership will be $10/month and VIP $20/month. Both can be paid monthly, or yearly with a discount. More to follow... Thank you! ~SDM

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my drumming podcast, https://drumheadspodcast.com . I've had Jason Bittner and the man himself, Gene Hoglan on. I've got some other metal guys lined up, waiting for them to get off the road. Check it out sometime if you'd like. Thanks! Everyone have a great weekend
