All here in Sydney! Ok, clockwise from the bottom Left.. shallow cut shells in sea foam green & ox blood wood hoops make the superflyer the most desirable professional grade portable kit available. Next it's the Luan Mahogany 22/13/16 Playerdate in dark walnut, very punchy & the slightly shallow kick allows for an open sound with minimal muffling. See that kit top right? It's Gladstone shells in cherry cola stain & it's the only one in the entire world..no pressure! & finally it's our sparkle Ruby slipper red maple/poplar/maple, made in Kansas of course.. she is our beautiful C&C artist/hire kit & has graced the stage with some of the biggest Aus & international artists. You can see & hear all of these kits right now with us & order your very own with many custom options or take one of these with you right now ..except Ruby, she's at home here. Call or text (02) 97442002 or DM me here or Skarlett @skarlettsaramore (at Sydney Drums)

Local Spotlight: Skarlett Woods

I discovered Skarlett Woods last year at the Duluth Dylan Fest singer/songwriter contest, where she placed second. I personally felt she should have won, but either way, I felt like I had discovered a great talent in Skarlett. At intermission of the event, I texted my roommate and said "look up Skarlett Woods, we have to see her soon, she's amazing". So we looked up when she was playing close to us, went and saw her, fell in love with her music, and we've seen her about 10 times since. Her story started in Brainerd, MN, and from there she moved to Oregon, down to California, and eventually she made her way back to Brainerd in 2020 during the pandemic. I've tried to figure out a way to describe her sound, and the best way I can think of is avant-garde/folk/jazz. Her live shows contain a mixture of originals and covers, and when she does cover songs, she finds a way to put her own stamp on them. She has 1 album of originals so far, I'm Right Here, and will be releasing her second album, Letters to the West, on Oct. 27th. I've gotten a chance to hear almost all of the songs from her new album live, and if the live versions are any indication, this album should be a contender for my album of the year. Skarlett mostly performs in the Midwest, but she does sometimes make it out to the West Coast. Check her website below for her concert schedule, she performs very regularly, and I would recommend checking her out if you are able. She is another musician that has become a friend over time, and Skarlett has such a unique personality and sound, I feel thankful to have discovered her when I did.

Top Song of 2023

Like I said in last years post of top songs, I don't really rank them as it becomes an impossible task after a certain point. But, I figured I could make my top 5 out of this list a yearly tradition. All of these songs are great and were listened to many times over the past year by me, but these 5 stood above the rest.

Dean Johnson- Possession

William Prince- Tanqueray

EmiSunshine and the Rain- Scars and Wings

Skarlett Woods- Portland, OR

Aly & AJ- Open to Something and That Something Is You

Please note, 1 song on my list was not on Spotify, but can be found here:

Damien Jurado- Neiman Marcus
