BLOG: We've all gone ape for drums, apparently
The MusicRadar Team, Thu 20 Dec, 5:02 pm GMT
We reported yesterday about the recent boom in drum sales, soaring to £41 million this year. One red top favourite, The Daily Star (page 6), today claims we've all gone ape for drums thanks to that annoyingly brilliant Cadburys Dairy Milk advert. You know, the one with Phil Collins dressed up as a gorilla?
According to The Daily Star, the gorilla, along with several other celebrity sticksmen: Travis Barker (Blink 182), Harry Judd (McFly) and Jamie Oliver (err... Scarlet Division), are all responsible for the drumming revolution among males. While the female populace, have Meg White (The White Stripes) and Caroline Corr (The Corrs) to thank for their's.
What do you think? Has anyone been inspired enough by the last two Corrs Best Of compilations to seek out some Vic Firths? Leave a comment and let us know...

I've been drumming for over 30 years and have inspired loads to pick up the sticks, I can honestly say the cadburys ad and Andrea Corr? certainly wouldn'y inspire anyone I know, now the Led Zep and Police reunion, thats another matter, didn't young Jason Bonham play a blinder, he did his dad proud.

You know, I NEVER knew Caroline Corr was in the Corrs. Who'd have guessed ;-P Seriously though, could the rise in drum sales be because bashing things is incredibly cathartic :-)

They could of at least employed a left-handed monkey. On the Corrs: The only thing her drumming has ever inspired me to do when it came on the radio is leave the room and reach for either a Chili, Foo or Police album.

The Cadburys gorilla could do a duet with the PG Tips chimps. Now *that* would inspire me to learn the drums...
