John Embry

John Embry was a businessman who created, funded and grew a publishing business called Drummer, Drummer is a record of what transpired in the leather and BDSM community. It was the go-to fuel for fantasies while also providing commentary on the community that supported it. There was no other publication in the gay community that provided all of these aspects, and no magazine since has been able to combine porn, commentary and literature to such a large reading audience.
