With the start of the new year, we wanted to harness some shamanic energy for the voyage forward. That’s why we open the year with a 3-hour-long drum ceremony. Drummers are the powerful backbone and structure for the music we enjoy. They can provide the subtle shifts needed to move us forward, or the power to get us through those challenging moments. The collection provided here is so far from exhaustive. We missed so many great drummers, and some we doubled up on just due to the amazing work that they have done in prog. Still, a fine collection of musicians is presented here and we hope you will enjoy what they have given us.
The next time around, we travel to 1974.
