Life's got a rhythm, and for 37 years, I've been finding mine behind the drum kit. I'm Howie, and while I work full-time to get by, my true purpose is found in the beat.
This channel is about sharing a lifelong passion for drumming and connecting with fellow music lovers. From the catchy pop-rock of the 80's to the powerful force of heavy metal, I’m here to play the tunes that resonate.
2025 Milestones:
🏁 Goal Achieved: Surpassed 100 subscribers in September 2025!
📈 Current Mission: On the road to 250 subscribers to kick off 2026!
🔥 Total Reach: Over 200,000 views and counting.
Inspired by legends like Neil Peart, Rick Allen, and Nick Menza, I'm inviting you to join me on this journey. Subscribe and hit the 🔔 to stay caught up with my "Top 12 of 2025" countdown and get ready for a massive 2026!

There is nothing better than catching up with fellow drummers in the comments! 🥁
Scott has been following the channel for a while now, and hearing that my videos helped inspire him is the ultimate compliment. It’s awesome to see him still here as I start 'leveling up' the production with this new multi-camera look. 🤘🔥
We’ve come a long way since the early days which was only 9 months ago, lol, and we’re just getting started on the push to 1,000 subs. Huge thanks to everyone who has been here from the start and everyone just joining the crew!
What do you think—does the dual-cam make the beats easier to follow?

"I am blown away! 🥁 My #10 video of my top 12 countdown of the stick break just went viral today with over 6,000 views. A huge welcome to the 8+ new subscribers who joined the HVDrums37 family this afternoon bringing my total to 220! I want to give a huge thank you to every single one of you who subscribed. You have all made 2025 a success. Without you, doing this is pointless.
We are just getting started with the countdown. Spots #9, #8, and #7 are dropping tomorrow starting at Noon EST. #6, #5 and #4 on Tuesday starting at noon EST. The top 3 dropping on New Years Eve starting at 11am EST. What will the Top 3 be on New Year's Eve? Tune in to find out! 🤘🔥"
I’m heading into a recording session tomorrow to build some inventory for 2026, but I’ll be active on my phone in between takes while #9, #8, and #7 drop starting at Noon! I hope to see you there!

🚨 NEW VIDEO DROPPING TOMORROW @ 4 PM! 🚨
I'm taking it back to the "two-arm era" with a full drum cover of Def Leppard's "High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)"! 🥁 This is hands down my favorite record they ever made.
I did 16 takes to get this one exactly where I wanted it, and the sound I'm getting out of the Yamaha EAD10 on these Tama Imperialstars is the best I’ve ever had on the channel so far. You aren’t going to want to miss this one! Be sure to hit that 🔔 so you will know when I post something new! Rock on everyone!
Which Mutt Lange produced record is your all-time favorite? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Welcome to the first episode of our original hard rock demo series! Today, Matt ("Matty B") and I are laying down the first layer of guitar tracks for our new song, "Avenue of Legends," inspired by the legends and oddities found in the pages of Weird NJ Magazine.
We're focusing on double-tracking the rhythm guitars for that fat hard rock sound, hard-panning the takes left and right for that stereo width. Tune in at 2:00pm EST.

I hope that you all enjoy it as much as I did playing it. Please feel free to share and comment on everything that I post. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Rock on!
