Memphis drum question

Posts: 705 Threads: 83

Ok since this site has of late become a travel and tourism information source I'd like some suggestions for "drummy" things to do in Memphis.

I'm going to see the Eagles in Memphis in October and I'd like to make a weekend of it and check out some music stores, etc. Any ideas about drum stuff to do would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I just had a great po boy on Beale St followed by some rockin' fried strawberries. Lots of live music. I was there on a Monday afternoon (2:30) and no less than four blues bands playing live.

check out the rockin soul museum next to the fed ex forum and stax studios. they have awesome exhibits with all vintage equipment. theres also sun studios and around the block is sam phillups studio. and bealle st at night is the place to be alwase good music at w.c handy park. and last but not least stop by graceland and pay respect to the king. the v.i.p pass is well worth the money.
