Drum Media is a Sydney icon. The people behind Drum virtually invented what has come to be known as streetpress. The originator and still the best, Drum’s enlightening and entertaining insight into the world of music, film and art has been copied in every city around the country.
Drum has earned a reputation that ranks it alongside international benchmarks. Think the UK’s NME crossed with New York’s Village Voice with an entertainingly Australian irreverence.
For over 15 years, Drum has been covering every inch of the entertainment scene, profiling international performers and events and, most importantly,
fostering Australian art and artists. Drum has also proved a fertile breeding ground for dynamic new journalism, design and has launched the careers of many music industry luminaries.
Published and read by over 125,000 people weekly, Drum is distributed to over 800 carefully targeted pubs, clubs, cafes and stores throughout greater Sydney. With a primary focus on the17-35 demographic, Drum specialises in contemporary popular music - rock, punk, metal, blues and roots. In depth features, profiles and reviews by some of the country’s leading journalists, specialist columns and an exhaustive gig guide make essential weekly reading for Sydney’s youth.
