Last month I shared the nominations for the 2nd Annual Drumeo “Drummer Of The Year” Awards and in that post I mentioned that I had not heard of it before publishing that post. I also pointed out that a wide variety of awards show rundowns are shared over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” since that lets me post a wider variety of them. Now we are back on the Drumeo topic as they just recently revealed the winners in a streamed video on YouTube so if you scroll on down below you will see all of the winners of the awards as well as those honored with some special legacy awards. The streaming cermony was hosted by Jared Falk and Dave Atkinson and a few others. Here now are your winners for “Drummer Of The Year”.

Presenting The Drumeo “Drummer Of The Year” Awards Nominations For 2022

Readers of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” website know full well that I like to post a wide number of award shows over there and feature both the nominations and winners list when the time comes for the big ceremony and reveals. Every so often this applies to the PiercingMetal side of the fence as well. This is usually relegated to the geekier side of things with Comic Book Industry or Anime Awards and believe me I love that stuff so say geeky with absolute pride. The website Drumeo was very new to me but when I learned that they held an awards ceremony for drummers I knew that I had to include it as one of the features here on the website. Though not active these days, I am a drummer and still get the impulse to play when time and the means allows so this was a fun one for me to include. Let’s take a look at the nominations.

Drummer Of The Year: This award will go to a drummer who checked all the boxes with recording projects, live/video events, online presence, and all-around excellence in their contributions to music.

Mark Guiliana
Chad Smith
Benny Greb
Steve Smith

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards Winners have been revealed in a lengthy list of categories and we’ve discussed that over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” earlier this morning. This post is to shine a keen focus on the categories that interest our demographic of readers the most and those are the Rock and Metal ones. Since it was easy to present in this fashion, I’ve once again included all the nominees for these same categories but I omitted the “Best Music Video” in the winner list since ACDC did NOT go home with the trophy. Now let’s take a look at these winners, may I have the envelope please.

Best Rock Performance: For new vocal or instrumental solo, duo/group or collaborative rock recordings.

Shot In The Dark – AC/DC
Know You Better (Live From Capitol Studio A) – Black Pumas
Nothing Compares 2 U – Chris Cornell
Ohms – Deftones
WINNER – Making A Fire – Foo Fighters

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards Nominees have been revealed in a mile-long list of categories and that’s to be expected with this particular award since it is essentially the Academy Awards of the recording industry. Now, with that being said, as a scribe who leans towards the heavier side of music there are only a few categories that remotely interest me so please peruse below on the nominations in the Rock and Metal Category for the 2022 Awards broadcast.

Best Rock Performance: For new vocal or instrumental solo, duo/group or collaborative rock recordings.
