Amazing Drum Solo-ness
April 11th, 2009In 4th grade I had to pick an instrument I wanted to do in band class. It was mandatory for all students to be part of band or orchestra, and I wanted to learn drums SO badly. It just looked like a cool instrument and with some sweet drum solos in bands, plus just the idea of pounding the crap out of an instrument and it being considered practice was fantastic to me.
Sadly through a series of annoying and deviating events, I ended up with the clarinet. I grew to like it for what it was, but always held that deep desire to play the drums. I still do. And occasionally I'll peruse YouTube watching amazing drum solo videos because I love the way it all looks and sounds.
Here are two videos between two very different people background wise.
The first video is from Travis Barker of Blink182, and the second is from a 16 year old kid named Dylan Elise. His performance is from the Tauranga National Jazz Festival in New Zealand and at just over 10 mins long it's a bit much, but I promise you that you won't be disappointed. He's really, really amazing.
Enjoy,
Draw.
Where, in fact, are the wild things?
April 8th, 2009So, I was floored by this trailer.
and then even more so by the amazing posters.


I'll keep it short and sweet. We here at draw love the idea and feelings behind being and acting like children, especially through art. This movie seems to be doing just that, and it looks breathtaking.
Plus the typography on this is freaking sweet. Long live hand rendered type!
In Context
April 4th, 2009The below video is done to "In Context" by Field Music, and has quite a hypnotic feel to it. We at Draw want you to doodle wherever, and whenever you can, and if that means on the wall with a Sharpie … then so be it. But of course we want you to put your doodling to good use, so this is only one of the ways you can contribute to our latest theme, *makeshift mixtape.
And as always,
Draw
