Into the YouTube Mists of Time we Delve.....


There he is! Drummist and media mogul of the beforetime.......

Ah YouTube. Blessed teacher of things and drinker of time.

Once upon a time, we made a series of excellent videos. I mean, we still make series' of truly excellent videos, just check out some of the glory HERE, but we did then also.

Oisin was our main man in the trenches, fearlessly venturing backstage (onstage mostly) on countless occasions to talk all things percussive with some of the most feral drummers on the planet.

And he did it with such aplomb.

But most importantly.

Lots of drums.
