This episode is from a YouTube segment I do called Brewdiments. Find links to that channel and the video version on my website, www.therockdr.com Basically, there was too much gold in this conversation with Chris Gormley for me to not share it with y'all. So here's the full interview for your earholes. After a couple hours of private study with him, we talk shop on drums, rudiments for warmup, stretches and preventative exercise for the modern drummer and then we rip some calypso for one of my band's tune titled "Home". Chris, thank you for your time and great insight. Los Cabos Drumsticks, you're always rad and Dream Cymbals, you treated us right too.

A lot of businesses usually follow a pattern of starting out family-based and traditionally small with a focus on the customer. But as growth happens, it can be really easy to lose sight of that in order to accommodate the ever-changing landscape of a growing business. Leadership changes, employee turnover, hiring people who can fill support jobs but don’t necessarily know the product inside and out, and a focus on the bottom line become more important than the roots you came from. It’s nobody’s fault, and most of the time it is a natural part of growth. But as this and a few of our other interviews have revealed, the younger brands are attempting to keep customer-centric cultures intact while attempting to grow out of that new business mindset into one that can scale and be successful. This is great news for the music industry as it slowly makes the shift from solely corporate-owned to one that once again puts the fans and artists first. Dream Cymbals and Gongs is no exception to this new (and revived) way of thinking. Now in their 10th year in business, Dream started out as a boutique cymbal brand, rooted first in producing high quality gongs and orchestral cymbals at a more affordable price point. Eventually they moved into drum sets and have now given all genres a more affordable, yet high quality cymbal to experience. One of Dream’s biggest unique factors is their industry-leading cymbal recycling program, where they will take just about any type of broken cymbal (except for those made of brass) and melt it down to be used in other Dream products; not necessarily their flagship product lines, but in ways that help re-use the materials and reduce the amount of materials ending up in landfills. While their distribution does include a few bigger names such as KMC and Lone Star Percussion, it’s mostly made up of smaller brick-and-mortar mom-and-pop shops. This allows Dream to be a brand that’s giving back to its local communities by supporting the smaller shops and driving more business to them. They even use the smaller retailers to host events such as cymbal recycling drives and cymbal tasting events that pair with wine, foods and other local vendors to draw people into the stores. Brian LaRue, Director of Operations for Dream Cymbals & Gongs, joins us in this episode to share the story of how Dream started, the details behind the industry’s most creative (and only) cymbal recycling program, and what it’s like to be a part of a small, yet efficient team taking on the cymbal industry from a new perspective. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/behindthebackline/support
I’ve been working with Dream Cymbals over the past few years since they’re supporters of the podcast, which I’m sure you know by now.

Welcome to episode 12 of The Deconstructed Drummer Podcast, which is a conversation with Eli Green, who's an Adelaide based drummer and teacher. Eli has been on my radar for a little while now, but it wasn't until I started doing my research that I found exactly how versatile he is on the kit. From throwing down with Life Pilot to playing delicate emotional tunes with Hen I've been blown away at how Eli is able to stay authentic and serve the music with all of the acts he plays with. We cover a lot of ground, but there's a definite thread of authenticity and deliberateness in music and life. I had a blast, and I think you will too. Eli Green (Life Pilot, Hen, The Mark of Cain) Facebook https://www.facebook.com/EliGreenDrums/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/eligreendrums/ Website https://eligreenmusic.com/ Eli proudly endorses C&C Drums, Dream Cymbals and Drumtacs.

Robb Ryan is a deep pool of knowledge. He will forget more than I will ever know about playing the drums. In this interview we go into every little nook and cranny about his past, present and future, uncovering a sprawling 30+ year career behind the kit. Currently, Robb is a private drum teacher, recording artist, clinician, online educator, blog writer, father and husband. He explains that time management and knowing your goals is the key to balance a heavy workload with positive results. He is endorsed by Mapex Drums, Dream Cymbals, Los Cabos Drumsticks and Aquarian drum heads. In the late spring last year Robb had developed Rhythmic Vocabulary (Instagram tag @rhythmicvocabulary). Under this moniker, Robb has written articles for Drumeo, 180Drums, theblackpage.net, Canadian Musician Magazine and the Los Cabos educational page. Also in April this year he will be appearing for his first time as a drum instructor for Drumeo in some recorded lessons! He also has some recording projects on the go with artists ranging from pop music, metal and even D&B. Hard to believe that in 9 months Robb has established himself so firmly in the drum industry, and this is only the beginning for Robb. While all of these successes have propelled him into some major canals in the drumming industry, he remains humble and courteous. I asked about any records that he may have bought lately. He is currently listening to David Bowie's Black Star album (which comes highly recommended), Tower of Power, Galactic and Maggie Koerner. Enjoy Episode 2 of DrumGAB Podcast!
