Disposable Heroes

This week we have a non stop, hard hitting, all star episode. While sitting down with so many legends my head almost exploded. Ray Luzier, Stanton Moore, Fish of Fishbone, Robert Delong and James Kattak all join in on the epic conversation that is, Disposable Heroes! Aloha 

This week on another epic conversation with Disposable Heroes, we have Casey Kernohan, from Cydeways. I first met these boys about 5 years ago, Casey and his singer Dustin came down to talk about a possible record deal. We ate, we drank, we eventually signed a deal. Now with everything ramping up for them and the takeover being fully underway, make sure to tune in to hear all about your favorite new band and drummer ;) Aloha

Carlos Verdugo AKA “C-Los” is one of the true brothers. San Diego through and through, he takes us through the journey, and we respect the fuck out of it! The blade sharpened in the tribal seeds, and now fills some of the biggest shoes around. Enjoy another epic conversation, only at Disposable Heroes! Aloha 

Kevin Offitzer from Stick Figure stops by the show this week. Big tour on the books, backstage lessons and a family made of pure love. Don't miss out on yet another epic conversation, only at Disposable Heroes! 

Chris Culos, possibly the most dapper of drummers, is back on the show! As we welcome him back, he has welcomed so much into his life recently. From his family, to a long awaited tour with Dispatch and even some NFT collecting/community building in the middle! Tune in to hear all about it. Aloha

Adrian Young has re-entered the building! So stoked to have the No Doubt madman back on the show. This time he's on the other side of the recording console with the Moxy Bros, his 2 man production team that he shares with Todd Forman! Tune in to hear how this new legendary chapter has unfolded. Aloh

Badass Thomas Pridgen! The man has brought not only the beat, but also the attitude, to everything from the Mars Volta, Trash Talk, and The Memorials, to an endless list of iconic hip hop! Experience this amazing attitude first hand with a little bit of Aloha, on another epic conversation from Disposable Heroes!

(THIS EPISODE IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF MARK LANEGAN, REST IN PARADISE, KING). Oh man, if I've ever been beside myself on this show, it's this week! We are beyond honored to have Barrett Martin on the show, founding member of the legendary staple of the Pacific Northwest, Screaming Trees. But the thing we have been most moved by was a supergroup that Barrett was a part of in the mid 90's called, “Mad Season”. The one album they put out, “I'm Above”, truly changed and has continued to mold my life. Maximum respect, Barrett, Aloha!

Aloha everybody! This week we are absolutely psyching to have our guy, Andy Granelli from the legendary Distillers, on the show. Andy comes from a similar touring background as Yesod, completely rooted in the warped tour. Tune in and appreciate Andy's amazing journey with us, and and little glimpse into the future! All the love to you for listening

Welcome back to a brand new year of Disposable Heroes, appreciate all you guys so much for continuing to tune in! This week I have a very good friend of mine, (hell we've even shared my drum riser at our last show in Boston, for an epic percussive ensemble), Jonathon Ulman, from the Berklee school of music on the show!

Back again for the very first time, Dean Butterworth is on the latest episode. It's been a couple years and a pandemic since we last talked, but the best remains steady. Dean, the rhythm peddler for Good Charlotte and Sugar Ray, was hot off the heels of the Beachlife Festival with the latter, in Redondo Beach, CA, so needless to say this epic conversation was fueled by the magic of music! Aloha

This week on Disposable Heroes we have one of our oldest friends in the drum community, Colin Walsh from Pour Habit!

The man, the myth, the rhythm whisperer, Ash Soan is BACK on disposable heroes today. Broadcasting live from his legendary “Windmill Studios” in Norfolk, England, Ash pulls back the curtain for us on some of his amazing recording techniques. It's no wonder Cher, Adele and many others come to Ash for their percussive needs. He also lets us in on some big touring news coming in 2022, thanks for being pure inspiration to the entire drum community! 

Aloha Fridays are that much more special when you have an inspiration like Greyson Nekrutman on the show! This conversation goes beyond epic. Greyson, hailing from Long Island, NY has quickly become one of the most intriguing drummers on the planet. Top it off with razor sharp skill, and a personality that will make you smile for miles, and you got magic! Enjoy the show, Aloha.

The legendary Vinnie Fiorello, IS BACK, on Disposable Heroes! He's recently stepped down from the drum throne and touring with less than jake, which is the end of an era for us all. With all endings come new beginnings, in this case a project called, The Inevitables. So enjoy this epic conversation, and hear all about it! Fun fact: we are releasing some new Inevitables music soon on my band, Pepper's own label, LAW Records!

Happy Aloha Friday! This week on the show I'm honored to have, my man, Loniel “Loni” Robinson. As an equally eclectic man as myself, this epic conversation touches the entire spectrum. Life is beautiful, and so are you! Mahalo for listening. 

This week on the show we have a very close friend and colleague, Sam Gample. He runs the artist relations at Tama Drums, the “strongest name in drums”. To me, he makes dreams come true, to the world, he makes sure some of the sweetest drum sounds out there stay tended to, like a care taker of the world's most beautiful garden of rhythm!

n this episode of Disposable Heroes, we have one of our oldest friends in the drum community, Jeff Neumann. Known by many as “Rhino”, he's currently managing the road for the legendary Descendents, and doubling down with his passion for drums by taking care of the one and only, Bill Stevenson on stage.

Tanner is the current hammer man behind the Swedish Heavy Metal legends, In Flames. Yee and Tanner connect the dots amongst mutual friends, North County San Diego and of course, DRUMS! Sparks fly with Tanner and Disposable Heroes,

What can be said about Jamal that he isn't overflowing with gratitude for?! NOTHING!

We are pleased to present the first album focused episode of Disposable Heroes! Ras MG takes us back to the sites, smells and sounds of 30 years ago, this glorious years being the time of recording the monumental album, Sublime's "40 oz. to Freedom". Many people don't know that Marshall played the drums on that record, which in our opinion would not be same without him, as you will hear in the conversation! The drum parts on 40 oz. to Freedom are even part finesse and fire, it's as if a 5 star jazz drummer was commissioned to play reggae, punk rock & ska, BRILLIANT! We hope you enjoy as much as we did getting into the details of recording one of our all time favorite records and drum performances! Also be sure to check out the brand new Long Beach Dub All Stars self titled album out now, it's an absolute wave of good energy!!! Huge Mahalo for the time Marshall, and we'll for sure being doing a part 2.....
