I don’t want to jump into the deep end just yet – let’s start with something that is completely free and easy to use… Twitter!
But, before you go off and start tweeting away we need to pick out a username that you will use across all social media platforms. This will help brand yourself. Try and think of a name that is easily remembered, or your real name if you so choose.

I’ve been a drummer for quite a while. I’ve also been into marketing (specifically internet marketing) for about a year or so. In the Drummer’s Marketing Series I want to cover some cheap (and mostly free) ways of marketing yourself or your band to the world.
If you want to be a working musician you have to do more then just be awesome at your instrument , you have to market yourself to the world around you. You have to get your name out to every person who might possibly be interested in you as a drummer (or sometimes just as a person).
I mean; you could be the best drummer in the world, have skills that match that of Pert, Sexton, and Bonham. But, none of that matters if no one hears you.
If a drummer hits a rim-shot in the woods and no one is around to hear it – did he really hit a rim-shot?

I started playing percussion (mallets) when I was 8 years old. I then eventually moved into concert band in middle school where I taught myself to play drumset. After middle school I played in the highschool drumline and played in several bands.... I stopped playing drums for about 5 years until I was approached by a friend to start playing again for his band. I have been playing with Blaming Tim in Atlanta for about two years now.
