First released as a digital gift to Brickbats mailing list survivors, uhhh--subscribers in 2018, "Drums Are My Beat!" has been lovingly remastered and updated by The Brickbats to more fully capture the experience of having undead rock and roll's most celebrated drummer D.W. Friend give you the BLAM BLAM BLAM SMASH SMASH SMASH CRASH CRASH CRASH at home, in the car, or wherever you foolishly go!

In addition to opening a wealth of opportunities for enterprising songwriters who want to drop new tracks over these hot drum takes, this stellar collection also allows you to finally rock and roll at a reasonable hour and at the reasonable decibel you've always imagined for yourself. Luxuriate in this expansive 50th Birthday Edition of The Brickbats Presents: D.W. Friend "Drums Are My Beat!" It's like having your own private rock and roll mistress: No one will ever know that you're only listening to drums!

Originally released under catalog number number DISAB2018, this Dismal Abysmal Resurrection is DISAB006R.

"You're lucky to have it."
