Last fall, a bunch of drummers from the punk world (and beyond) came together to form Indie Drummer Collective, "a group of rotating drummers who come together to celebrate a musical genre, a single band, a single drummer or a moment in time when drumming helped influence their musical life." The brainchild of Erin Tate of the now-defunct Minus The Bear, the collective "started as a way for a few friends to talk shop about drummers they love" and has now "blossomed into over 80 drummers from around the world."

Since forming, they've been teaming up for all-star drum playthrough videos, so far including one of Def Leppard's entire Hysteria album and one of Texas Is The Reason's entire Do You Know Who You Are? album (which turns 25 this year). "Every month a theme is chosen, whether it be a genre or a specific drummer, and each drummer chooses a song they wish to cover. And to top it all off, to stay true to 'the age of pandemics' and 'Tuesday beers at home,' the collective has an ongoing group chat of 81 members. A testament to how drummers truly are the best communicators!"

To celebrate Inauguration Day, 27 drummers have come together for an almost-definitely-ironic cover of the Michael Jackson/Lionel Richie-penned 1985 celebrity charity single "We Are the World"… not a song you'd ever think needed a drum playthrough video, as the participating drummers' faces imply.

"Happy Inauguration Day Everyone!" IDC writes. "There is so much to be said about the last 4 years but we’d like the music to speak for us."
