*drum roll* please!
The above title was my email subject line upon completion of the mini drum and regulation-size drum sticks seen here, designs requested for a little bloggy/magazine/crafty collaborative fun. (Um, I was *quite* proud of that subject line, maybe more than I was of the designs I came up with). But, you know how I loooooove crochet challenges.
Anyway, Leslie Henkel of Abrams/STC Craft Books did a fun little interview for Tom Tom Magazine, the one and only magazine (online and in print) for female drummers. Do you like niche publications as much as I do? I am no drummer, unless you count the beats I tried to make with the above crochet-with-balsa-wood-inside drumsticks. Nonetheless, check out the interview linked to above and comment HERE, answering the following question, for a chance to win the drum or set of drumsticks:
What is the MOST played song in your iTunes/Media Player/etc.? (Alternately, what record/CD of yours has the most wear and tear?) Leave it in the comments and cross your drum-holding fingers! (They are also in my Etsy shop).

Right now, it would have to be the Michael Jackson album This is It, thanks to my daughter who has become obsessed with Thriller and Shake Your Body Down to the Ground. Her choir did a remembrance performance for the late King of Pop and the Hip Hop Dancers did their rendition of Thriller while the Cheerleaders did a routine to Shake Your Body.

I am a sometime drummer, and those sticks and little drum are awesome! The most played album would have to be Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. Easily.

Regulation-size drum sticks!! I love them and the silvery pink little drum–and I am so happy to learn that there is a magazine for female drummers currently in print. Saw Charlotte Gainsbourgh in Philly recently; she bangs on an awesome red drummer-boy drum at the beginning and end of each show.

LOVE that lil pink drum. Obsessed. For reals. Need it.
MOST played (via Pandora): Ingrid Michaelson “You and I”. The lyrics are so simple and hokey. I love it.

I started drum lessons today! It’s a Korean traditional drum though, not a snare drum or bongos or whatever.
My most played album is the Smart People soundtrack. My most played SONG is Stars by Switchfoot.

I am so untalented in the music playing department, but James Taylor music is in my ipod. I love the voice. He did have an awesome drum machine in his last tour and visit to PGH to accompany him in “Slap Leather”. Love the effect. If I don’t win it, I’ll look it up on etsy. Thanks and Good luck!

That is so cute! My husband is a percussionist and we have a lot of drumsticks lying around the house. Thanks for sharing the link with the magazine. the most played song in “our” ipod would have to be fireflies by owl city š My son loves it
