The Drum Room reincarnated
Recorded on a shooting outing with Pam's Pics, mragan and FotoEdge.
Back when Kansas City was a glitzy gangster town with a thriving jazz scene, the Drum Room at the President Hotel was a swanky hang for guys and molls. KC’s dangerous, cool rep and the hotel both fell into disarray over the years, but downtown’s revival has included the restoration of the President to its former beauty, Drum Room included. The rebuilt venue lacks the kitschy appeal of its previous incarnation; the bar with drums for a top was destroyed in a fire years ago. But the retro sign outside the door is back, announcing a new Drum that is sleek, sexy and modern. A line of cushioned seating along one wall attracts well-dressed women who sip colorful martinis and flirt with the high-rolling gentlemen who frequent this hip, pricey joint. Live jazz lives again here, with local legends-in-the-making Megan Birdsall and Everette DeVan appearing regularly on weekends. (quoted from The Pitch).
