A Revolution

in Percussion

The New York Times has called Drums Drums Drums, “A revolution in percussion…”, Downbeat has effused that “DDD is beyond music… conjuring something deeper and more profound...”, and the prominent religious scholar, Reza Azlan, has claimed “they are somehow tapping into an even higher power than what our current conception of gods allow.”

It’s true. They use sticks to hit their drums like everyone else, but their use of rhythm pounds your perception of time into an amalgam of your other senses, melting the barriers between what you perceive to be yourself and the rest of the universe. A study, carried out by an independent research group, determined that at least 1,255 people have changed the way they interact with and perceive reality on a daily basis after experiencing Three Hearts Astride.

This innovative trio met while living in Midtown Harrisburg, PA circa 2016. While attending the wedding of a mutual friend, the trio began intuitively thrumming their table together with their forks, knives and spoons. Within minutes the wedding was transformed into a spiritual merging of not just two but about a hundred or so souls. Drums Drums Drums was born. The couple from this wedding is still married today, and attribute their continued passion for one another to the harmonic bonding of their metaphysical beings that this inaugural DDD jam initiated.

Now the group is known ‘round the world for their percussion, and have been recognized and laureled in accord with their talent. One notable instance is when the 14th Dali Lama heard their percussion, said that he was able to commune with the other 13 Dali Lamas, and that they all really “dug those drum boys’ tasty fuckin grooves.”

Unfortunately, in recent months the trio has suffered a string of terrible luck. Their drums have been missing (stolen, beamed via The Portal to Dublin, etc.) for dozens of shows in a row, forcing them to do long-form improvised comedy.
