n this episode recap of Drums and Rums, Paul reviews two major events: the Drum Revue in West Palm Beach and the Key West Rum Fest. The Drum Revue, organized by Todd Dalstrom, took place at the Kravis Center and showcased a theatrical drumming performance with a mix of percussion styles. Highlights included a drumline battle, a high school marching band, and creative performances using unconventional instruments like pots and pans. The show’s atmosphere was compared to Stomp and Blue Man Group, providing a high-energy and engaging experience for both musicians and attendees.
Paul also recapped the Key West Rum Fest, a multi-day event celebrating rum through tastings, cocktail contests, and live music. Organized by Neil Lindley, the fest featured events like sandbar trips, sponsored rum cruises, and beach cleanups. The grand tasting on Saturday was the main attraction, featuring over 30 rum brands. Paul noted how this event allowed him to connect with various rum creators and fellow enthusiasts, fostering community and fun in the vibrant setting of Key West.

You have probably seen the addition of the Jams 'N' Cocktails show to the channel, so I thought it would be good for you to learn more about the host of this show.
This is a REPLAY from episode #15 taped back in 2020, when Brad Brock and I were both starting our own podcasts. Hopefully you hear a noticeable difference from then to now regarding the Drums and Rums show.
It's was our first podcast recorded live outside out on the patio of the new Twisted Tuna in Jupiter, Florida. On this podcast our guest is Brad Brock, singer/songwriter and host of the “Jams and Cocktails” podcast.
Brad is a one man band where he plays an unique drum set with his feet rather than using a drum track for his shows. This setup provides a truly full band sound. Brad's sound and style has been described as a mix of Cat Stevens, Tom Petty and Jack Johnson.
You can catch his weekly live podcasts on Wednesday nights streamed on YouTube and Facebook where he interviews local musicians and they perform some of their original music. Big props to Brad for helping promote local music and helping keep the music scene in the south Florida area going.
I'd like to thank our the Twisted Tuna owners Kenny and Rachelle for letting us take over the patio, Stephanie our server and the entire staff.
Also thanks to fellow local musician Chris Springer, good friend to Brad and I as well as Johnny Ringo owner of Code Rum for sitting in on the podcast.
The opening track is "Unrequited" by Brad

We got on this podcast Todd Dahlstrom, the creator of "Drum Revue." Todd discusses his background in drumming, his musical journey, and the development of the "Drum Revue" show, which is described as a high-energy, live, drum-centric performance. The show features various percussive styles and aims to highlight drummers and percussionists, offering a unique variety show experience.
Todd shares how his love for drums began in his childhood and evolved through participation in concert bands, marching bands, and eventually college punk bands. Despite not pursuing music professionally initially, Todd's passion for drumming led him to create the "Drum Revue," inspired by other performance art groups like Blue Man Group and Stomp but with a focus solely on drums.
The podcast touches on the growth of the "Drum Revue," which has had successful performances in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is set to expand regionally. Todd emphasizes the community involvement aspect of the show, with efforts to give back through performances at hospitals and other local institutions.
