mr. drummer
What does mr. drummer mean?
Mr. Drummer was the heavier, more fetish-forward cousin of IML, named for Drummer — the most successful American leather magazine. Drummer launched in 1975 in Los Angeles, moved to San Francisco in 1977 after police harassment, and ran its International Mr. Drummer contests there yearly from 1981 until the magazine folded in 1999. A note: it's sometimes mis-dated to 1979, but the contest itself started in 1981.
"He came up through the Drummer circuit — that scene was always more fetish, more leather-heavy than the mainstream titles."
