Emerging from the Chicago's improvised music scene, in the 1990s he
became one of the world's pre-eminent prepared guitar players. Since
then his work has expanded to include electroacoustic compositions and
live electronic music made with laptop computers and analog modular
synthesizers. His early recordings contain mostly sparse, quiet sounds;
recent works have been more loud and dense.
Drumm has collaborated with many artists working in similar
fields, including Japanese guitarist Taku Sugimoto,
multi-instrumentalist and producer Jim O'Rourke, and many European
improvisers such as Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and German
trumpeter Axel DУЖrner. He has also worked with the artist group
Simparch, composing a piece for their installation Spec, shown at
Documenta XI in Kassel, Germany and at the Renaissance Society in
Chicago. Drumm has also worked with saxophonist Ken Vandermark's
Territory Band, which brings together American and European players who
work in both jazz and free improvisation.
Drumm's work draws upon musique concrУЈte, electronic sound,
improvisation, heavy metal, and noise music. Musical influences include
Iron Maiden, Ralf Wehowsky, Heavy Load, and The New Blockaders
