Drummer (magazine)

Drummer is an American magazine which focuses on "leathersex, leatherwear, leather and rubber gear, S&M, bondage and discipline, erotic styles and techniques." The magazine was launched in 1975 and ceased publication in April 1999 with issue 214, but was relaunched 20 years later by new publisher Jack MacCullum with editor Mike Miksche.

During the late 20th century, it was the most successful of the American leather magazines, and sold overseas. The magazine was originally focused on quality writings about leather but gradually changed into more of a photo magazine.

Among the writers and artists featured in the magazine have been Phil Andros, Tim Barrus, Rick Castro, Donelan, Tom of Finland, Fred Halsted, David Hurles, MATT, Scott Masters, Robert Opel, Dom Orejudos, Rex, Bill Schmeling, Larry Townsend, and Bill Ward. For a while, during its initial run, it featured comic strips starring gay secret agent Harry Chess by Al Shapiro (under the name "A. Jay"). Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe contributed a photograph for the cover of #24, September 1978.
