I’d love for you to check out this new game I’ve out together: Guess the song by only the drum track. I’ll give you three hints before the full song kicks in. Good luck!

New Drum Cover: Surface Pressure
Hello, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. Quite a bit has been going on, and maybe at some point, I’ll get into it as I work the atrophy from my blogging chops.
In the meantime, I wanted to share a drum cover from a song that’s really resonated with me lately. The song “Surface Pressure” from Encanto, the latest Disney movie. That movie especially speaks to me right now as well.
Hope you enjoy!
New single – The Seen
I’m excited to share some new music from Amy and the Peace Pipes that we just dropped today – The Seen!
We recorded this song back in January, hot off the presses. We actually hadn’t played it live before recording it. We actually had the beginning of this song written about a year before, but couldn’t quite figure out how to end it. After mothballing the song for several months, we brought out back and came up with the grunge-rock ending, where I got to channel my inner Dave Grohl.
We hope you enjoy it! If you can’t stream it from Spotify, you can stream it directly from Amy and the Peace Pipes website.
New Drum Cover – 365
After a five year hiatus, I finally got back around to recording a drum cover! The song that brought me back out of retirement – Zedd’s 365 (feat. Katy Perry).
Hopefully, this will be the first of many more drum covers to come. Previously my barriers were YouTube’s content takedown policies, especially in contrast to the amount of time it took to produce a video. In the years since my last drum cover I’ve gotten more efficient at video editing, and for the most part drum covers are accepted by most artists. Now my only barrier is trying to find the time to practice and record the drum covers.
I’d love to hear what you think and if you have any song suggestions for future covers.
Drumming to support St. Jude’s
I’m honored to be taking part in the Drumming Up Hope Foundation’s 3rd annual Drum-A-Thon to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospitals. On Friday, May 25 at 6 pm, I’ll be doing my part to carry on the 81 hours of continuous group drumming over 4 days, and am looking for generous souls to sponsor me in this cause. 100% of your donation will go towards St. Jude’s Children Hospital. Any amount, no matter how small, will go a long way towards supporting this great cause.
Donate $10 – Request A Drum-along Song
While drummers are taking various approaches to their hours, I am dedicating my time to playing along with requests made by donors. For every $10 you donate, you can request any song and I’ll add it to my drum-along mix and will send you a video later on if you’d like. Do you have a favorite song that has an awesome drum part? Perhaps you have a song that you’d like me to give my take and provide a drum remix? Maybe you’ve always wanted to hear a heavy drum remix to one of your favorite Disney songs? You could even just mess with me and throw me a curveball in the form of a classical song – I’ll play anything you’d like!
I only ask two things of your request:
- That it clocks in at less than 5 minutes or so (no In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida unless you’re willing to donate $40)
- That there’s a clean version of the song since the event is family-friendly.
Use the button below to donate and write your song request in the “Special Instructions” or email it to me at romeyinfc [at] Gmail [dot] com. If you’d prefer not to use PayPal, please email me and we can set up alternate arrangements.
[Removed the button since this is now over – thank you to all those that helped!]
Also, I’d love for you to come out and join me at the Drumathon at Thunder Mountain Amphitheatre in Loveland. Admission is free and I’ll be there Friday, May 25 from 6pm-7pm, but the drumming start 10 am Thursday, May 24 and carries forth through Sunday, May 27 at 7 pm. Bring your own ear plugs!
Thank you so much for your support! I’m super pumped for this awesome event!
