WOMEN & DRUMS—Tom Tom magazine—the publication dedicated to females of the percussive variety—celebrates its fifth birthday tonight. Look for thunderous performances from the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, HITS (featuring members of Explode into Colors), LKN, and more. It will be, and should be, a loud one. MARJORIE SKINNER
