Earlier this summer, G Flip—who began playing drums at the age of nine—released their single “The Worst Person Alive,” and announced that Drummer would drop Aug. 11.

“It’s the record of my dreams — an ode to kit, my younger self, and to (their late drumming instructor) Jenny,” they told Rolling Stone. “It’s a pop album from a drummer’s perspective but more importantly, Drummer is the album I always wanted to hear growing up.”

The “GAY 4 ME” singer continued, “I thought in depth about tempo, time signatures, giving the drums their own moments, and when to let other parts of the production shine. I wanted to make sure every drum part on every song served its purpose, letting moments breathe and not overplaying.”
