Send us a textYou have probably seen the addition of the Jams 'N' Cocktails show to the channel, so I thought it would be good for you to learn more about the host of this show. This is a REPLAY from episode #15 taped back in 2020, when Brad Brock and I were both starting our own podcasts. Hopefully you hear a noticeable difference from then to now regarding the Drums and Rums show.It's was our first podcast recorded live outside out on the patio of the new Twisted Tuna in Jupiter, Florida. On this podcast our guest is Brad Brock, singer/songwriter and host of the “Jams and Cocktails” podcast.Brad is a one man band where he plays an unique drum set with his feet rather than using a drum track for his shows. This setup provides a truly full band sound.

Todd discusses his background in drumming, his musical journey, and the development of the "Drum Revue" show, which is described as a high-energy, live, drum-centric performance. The show features various percussive styles and aims to highlight drummers and percussionists, offering a unique variety show experience.Todd shares how his love for drums began in his childhood and evolved through participation in concert bands, marching bands, and eventually college punk bands. Despite not pursuing music professionally initially, Todd's passion for drumming led him to create the "Drum Revue," inspired by other performance art groups like Blue Man Group and Stomp but with a focus solely on drums.The podcast touches on the growth of the "Drum Revue," which has had successful performances in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is set to expand regionally. Todd emphasizes the community involvement aspect of the show, with efforts to give back through performances at hospitals and other local institutions. The episode also includes discussions about the technical aspects of the show, audience engagement, and the challenges of putting together such a production.We also put him through, In Four Beats or Less:1.

Send us a Text Message.In this podcast, Paul gives a brief update on what's going on with the Drums and Rums show, what are these others podcast showing up on this channel and what changes are coming.First off thank you for listening to the Drums and Rums podcast. It's been an hectic year on the podcast since summer of 2023 where Paul took a big hiatus, but didn't stop making podcasts. As you may have seen, Paul cohosts a new show with musician Kevin McLoughlin, Riffs n Rhythms podcast. This show is different than Drums and Rums, but still keeps in the spirit of his love for music.Also you may have started also see another show pop up on the channel, Jams 'n' Cocktails podcast. If you have listened to the other two shows, the name Brad Brock should ring a bell. Brad and Paul have booth been in the podcast trenches about the same time. Now they have decided to make it formal and join forces and join the Drums and Rums podcast stream. With this change, it makes sense that this channel is not just Drums and Rums, but more. And with this the Drums and Rums podcast RSS feed will be renamed to "B3 Podcast Network". B3 stands for Brand, Bands, and Booze, pretty much everything all of our shows are connected to.What does this all mean, well you will see a new logo and name appear on your app, but it's the same show.  Riffs n Rhythms will drop on Tuesdays, Drums and Rums will drop on Wednesdays and Jams 'n' Cocktails will drop on Thursdays.With this we hope to expand together, attract sponsors and advertisers by offering more content and help monetize the shows.Please welcome Brad and his crew to the family.Support the Show.

Tito Puente and the Timbales: Tito Puente, hailed as the “King” of Latin music, left an indelible mark on percussion. His signature instrument? The timbales—a pair of cylindrical drums with a distinct sound. Tito Puente's influence extended beyond Cuba, introducing timbales to audiences worldwide. Timbales Unveiled: What are they?Are played with the sticks and consist of two single-skinned, metal-shelled cylindrical-shaped drums. The "timbales" are actually a mutation of a drum that migrated originally out of India and Africa years ago in the shape of giant kettle drums that were strapped to the sides of camels, horses and elephants. Eventually this drum made its way to Europe and Spain, and had mutated and shaped to what is known today in Europe and the West as the, "Timpani" drums. Cuban music is a melting pot of African and Spanish (European) influences and cultures. The shells are made of either brass or steel and set on a stand. The larger timbale, called "hembra" (pronounced embrah), and the "cha cha" bell (smaller bell), are traditionally positioned to the left side of the "timbalero" (one who plays the timbales). The "macho" timbale (smaller drum), the "mambo" bell (larger bell), and the "cymbal" are traditionally positioned to the right of a right-handed player. "Cascara" literally means "shell" in Spanish, and the "paila" or cascara is the traditional pattern played by the timbalero player on the side of the macho timbale (smaller drum) It can also be played on the cymbal, cowbell or woodblock. In some cases, Cuban musicians will use the word "pailas" for the timbales and "cascara" for playing on the shell or sides of the drums. All patterns are based on the clave and emphasize the accents within the rhythm. Tito Puente's mastery of these drums significantly shaped Afro-Cuban music in America. Tito Puente Signature Series Timbales: In honor of this iconic musician, Latin Percussion (LP) created the Tito Puente Signature Series Timbales. Available in brass, bronze, or stainless steel, these timbales capture the essence of Puente's rhythm. Thunderous Beats: Puente's timbales produce a deep, complex tone with exceptional projection. Their 15-inch and 16-inch diameters, coupled with 10-inch extra-deep shells, create a sound that resonates like thunder. Legacy Lives On: Tito Puente's timbales continue to inspire percussionists globally. From the 1996 Olympic Games closing ceremonies in Atlanta to countless stages, these drums echo Puente's enduring legacy. So next time you hear the rhythmic heartbeat of timbales, remember the man who made them dance—the incomparable Tito Puente.Tune in for part 3 of celebrating the life and music of Tito Puente. Support the show

He passed away on June 1st 2000. Here's a glimpse into his remarkable journey and some of the things each day this week we'll dive into.Early Years: Tito Puente was born in New York City's Spanish Harlem to Puerto Rican parents. His father worked at a razorblade factory, and Tito initially took piano lessons. However, an ankle injury led him to switch to percussion, drawing inspiration from jazz drummer Gene Krupa. Puente's talent blossomed with his drumming lessons, and in the '40s he joined the Machito Orchestra when their drummer was drafted for World War II. This was his big break, and Puente played with them until he was also drafted into the Navy. After the war, Puente went to the Julliard School of Music on the G.I. Bill to study music and orchestration, and in 1948 he formed his own band and began developing his distinctive performance style.Career:  Tito Puente was known for his blending of Latin and jazz sounds, for placing percussion in the spotlight, and for celebrating the music with dancing and joy during his performances. His band became a regular sound at the Palladium Ballroom, where the Tito Puente Orchestra packed in the crowds and helped popularize mambo. Over the years he became known as "El Rey," the king of mambo music, and he collaborated with many other major performers, including Celia Cruz. Puente began recording with RCA Victor in the 1950s. He continued to record, collaborate, and perform for the next several decades. In the 1990s, he played himself in the movie, Mambo Kings, which helped drive a renewed awareness of his music. When he died at age 77, he was still regularly performing.Legacy: Tito Puente's influence transcends borders. His compositions continue to resonate, and his virtuosity lives on. Whether you're dancing to his beats or appreciating his melodies, Tito Puente's legacy has been recognized in many ways. He received five Grammy Awards during his lifetime, as well as a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; among other honors, he also received honorary degrees, presidential recognition, and the Key to New York City.Tune in tomorrow for part 2 of celebrating the life and music of Tito Puente.Support the show

Which ones punch above their weight? Which ones should we not ignore just because they're 80 proof?We selected a group of 10 popular aged molasses-based rums we had on hand and pitted them against each other in a head-to-head tasting bracket.While it would be impossible to fit ALL the worthy 80 proof rums into one episode, we tried to select 10 that represent popular, widely available options around the world. And we're open to doing additional brackets with other 80 proof rums (or other types of rum) if you like this episode!While we often pine for higher proof options, the reality is that 80 proof will likely remain the most common option for standard releases for the foreseeable future, so why not figure out which ones offer the best sipping experience for the money?This turned out to be a really fun exercise that delivered several unexpected winners and losers along the way. At the end, there could only be one champion.Here is the link to the article on 80 proof spirits mentioned in the introduction: https://vinepair.com/articles/80-proof-liquor-spirits-history/P.S.
