Kelli Rae Tubbs

The official YouTube channel for Kelli Rae Tubbs: drum historian/author. Music left its indelible mark when my brother played his Beatles albums. We sang along and by age 2-1/2, harmonies were easy. I was getting the best musical training of my life. By 3-1/2, I was determined to be a musician.

I recently studied the music of the 1920s. When the drum parts didn’t show the common ride cymbal pattern, I knew I was missing something really big. I followed the feeling in my gut that said, “There’s more to know” and asked, “Who can teach me to authentically perform this music?" I amassed a reference library and while searching, Amazon, the recommendations read: 

"People who viewed this also viewed 'Daniel Glass - The Century Project.'  I bought it. The DVD is amazing. When Daniel played, I realized, "THIS IS THE GUY WHO CAN TEACH ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!" My questions had answers. In my historical videos, I share what I have learned about our musical heritage.
