Street Drum Corps: Take Up Residency at the Roxy
By: Tamea Agle

Anyone looking for something new on the Sunset Strip will find what they’ve been searching for when they go see brothers Bobby and Adam Alt along with Frank Zummo, who make up the Los Angeles-based Street Drum Corps. The band has been together since 2004 when they decided to focus on a brand of drumming all their own. From the very beginning they were using found objects, everyday items and elaborate setups in their performances.

“The first day that we ever played together was on found objects. At Bobby’s rehearsal studio in downtown L.A., across the street is a junkyard. We just went there with a pair of drumsticks each and a video camera and jammed for an hour. It was interesting to use all of this found stuff and find out how to get a car door to sound good, and we just went with it and it evolved from there. You want to bring that on stage and beat on it, and it actually sounds cool? There are no rules in Street Drum Corps. We are able to do whatever we want.”

When I spoke with Zummo, he was driving to meet fellow band members Adam and Bobby Alt for rehearsal for their upcoming residency, which takes over the Roxy. Preparing for the shows, the band went all out.
