Vibration....Rhythm........Three drummers coming together as one to perpetuate the groove; exploring the possibilities; combining the old and the new; and using technology to build on tradition!

Combining nearly a century of drumming experience and knowledge, Drum Devils keeps the tradition alive while exploring the future. There are no pre-recorded sequences or pre-programmed music with Drum Devils - it's all created live - sounding like much more than three percussionists - like a band - an orchestra - or something new!

DRUM DEVILS - Rhythm to the Limit......Experience it!

    Messianic, voluptuous cascades of rich, addictive, arousing sounds.....

  • Master Drummers create groundbreaking percussion epics.
    author: Bobo

    This record is a milestone in music history. Never before has a collection of master percussionists created such hypnotic grooves and colors as these gentleman have. This is a record for the record books!

  • Great music – it doesn’t get much better than this!
    author: Paul Ventimiglia

    This CD will make you rethink what you thought percussion was all about. Players and composers need this CD in their collection to expand their musical horizons. Even if you are neither, you need this CD just for its sheer musical enjoyment. Great work folks - when's the next one coming out!

  • Wow !! What a concept !
    author: Tango

    These guys are truly some of the best. The grooves are hypnotizing , the ideas are ingenius. They paint so many colorful pictures with just the stroke of a drum stick. I love it! It should be a part of every drummers library, (and everybody else's for that matter).
