Pipe Band Drummer

Welcome to PipeBandDrummer.com! My name is Zach Smith and I am based in Nova Scotia, Canada where I lead the drumming program for the Dartmouth and District Pipe Band. I grew up playing drums in a pipe band as a kid but took twenty years off to take a music degree, an education degree, teach drum kit and tour as a kit drummer throughout North America.

Full disclosure: I am not the best drummer in the world. I have made many mistakes. I've had some amazing highs and devastating lows as a leader. I've won competitions and come last place in others. I've learned many hard lessons but everything I've learned I want to pass on to you! Check out the videos and please subscribe if you find them useful. Cheers!
