Drummer was an American magazine targeted at gay men with an interest in the leather subculture founded by John H. Embry and Jeanne Barney in Los Angeles, 1975. Because of police harassment, the magazine moved to San Francisco in 1977, with Jack Fritscher as new editor-in-chief (1977–1979). The last number of the magazine, issue 214, was published in April 1999. The magazine arranged yearly International Mr. Drummer contests in San Francisco, 1981–1999 (ca). Manga artist Gengoroh Tagame has pointed to the magazines illustrated strips as a major influence on his own work.
