Drumhead publishes an honest look at the artists, the lives they lead and the world they live in - not just what kit they play and whom they're playing it with, but what makes them who they are. The four first issues had a variety of drummers from big shots like Neil Peart, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Bill Bruford, Keith Carlock, Dennis Chambers, Godsmack, and Rod Morgenstein to new drummers that have a promising career ahead of them.
