Podcasts about Drummer

Drummer and composer Marcus Gilmore looks to the creative openness of his drum elders – like his grandfather, Roy Haynes, the late tabla master Zakir Hussain, or renaissance man and drummer Milford Graves - and underscores the drum set as melodic instrument – exploiting all of the potential of the components – bending notes, playing with the natural vibrations, or augmenting his set up with Sunhouse Sensory Percussion. (With thanks to Modern Drummer Magazine's June 2019 issue.) He joins us in-studio to amaze and delight with his percussive sorcery. (From the Archvies, 2019).  – Caryn HavlikSet list: 1. Silhouwav 2.

In this episode, we sit down with Joel Plotnik, the longtime drummer for Phil Wickham. Joel shares his incredible journey from the early days of youth group to playing on the biggest worship stages in the world. We dive deep into the realities of being a "hired gun" in Los Angeles, why he decided to pursue a career in software engineering while still touring, and how to maintain a heart of humility when the spotlight is on you.

Man hört einen Song und denkt sich: Geil, so will ich auch klingen. Genau so soll mein Schlagzeug sich anhören, wenn ich darauf haue. Und voller Freude stapft man in den Proberaum und fängt an zu spielen. Pöng, Pömg tönt es aber leider nur von der Snare. Nichts da von den fetten Sounds der Musikerin, die man so unfassbar toll findet. Also packt man seine Snare ein und fährt zu jemandem, der sich damit auskennt. Also mit den Stars und auch damit, wie man so ein Instrument so präpariert, dass es so klingt, wie man es will. Immerhin hat Pommes die Instrumente unzähliger Drummer präpariert, restauriert und so hergerichtet, dass sie auf Bühnen und Alben so klingen, wie wir das kennen. Aber ist das überhaupt möglich: aus meiner Sonor SQ2 den Sound von den Beatsteaks rauszuholen? Ich habe das Pommes von der Schlagzeugbetreuung direkt gefragt. Die Antworten haben mich zumindest wirklich überrascht....

This week on the podcast, we're joined by Adam Nimmo — touring drummer, creative force, and the mind behind the project Drummer to Drummer. The concept is beautifully simple: a drummer talks to a drummer… and then they drum together.    Through Drummer to Drummer, Adam has carved out space for the musicians who keep the heartbeat of bands alive but don't always get the spotlight. He's sat down with some of the drumming greats, including Josh Trager (Sam Roberts Band), Loel Campbell (Wintersleep), and Steve Lamos (American Football), capturing conversations that are equal parts technical, personal, and deeply human.   As a successful touring drummer himself, Adam recognized a gap in music media — drummers are often overshadowed by singers and front-of-stage personalities. This project is his answer: a platform that celebrates the craft, the discipline, and the community of drummers.   In this episode, we dig into Adam's wild touring adventures, dreams that unexpectedly came true, and how values and ambitions shift as we age. We talk about what “making it” really means, how that definition evolves over time, and the passion that keeps artists going long after the novelty wears off.   This conversation is full of heart, rhythm, and reverence — not just for the instrument, but for the people who dedicate their lives to it. Whether you're a drummer, a music lover, or someone navigating your own evolving dreams, this one hits deep.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Mind Mapping - How to Break Down an Overwhelming Task. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." ADHD task paralysis can really take us down. Mind mapping is THE tool for maximizing how our creative brains work, while minimizing our challenges with executive functioning. It's a non-linear method of getting your thoughts out of your head and into a form you can look at, organize, make plans, and prioritize. In this episode we'll cover an often overwhelming task: where to start when attempting to tidy up a messy home office. We'll go through, step-by-step, how to create your action plan using mind mapping so you'll arrive at a simple checklist that can be followed over the span of a few sessions.

Former Nike exec Mark Hochgesang interviews Danny on Heavy Hitter Sports Podcast about MS & being an adaptive athlete. Just back from Belize! Training works. Summary My friend Mark Hochgesang, former Nike exec and host of Heavy Hitter Sports, recently interviewed me. While I usually wear my life on my sleeve on Health Hats, this conversation revealed something different—how I think about myself as an adaptive athlete. Phil Knight’s mantra: “If you have a body, you’re an athlete.” I never thought of it that way until Mark helped me see it. Training to travel? That’s athletic training. Loading a 60-pound wheelchair into an SUV? Strength work. Walking 3,500 steps a day with MS? Competition with myself. Here’s what we covered:

In this episode, I sit down with drummer Kim Trammell for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about groove, identity, longevity, and finding your way back to joy in music. Kim is an intensely musical player whose feel, touch, and sound are unmistakable, and this conversation traces her path from early classical training to decades of professional drumming in Memphis and beyond. We talk about how her background in piano and orchestral percussion shaped her approach to the drum set, why timpani was such a formative instrument for her, and how classical technique translated naturally into tone, touch, and control on the kit.Kim shares her early musical story, starting with Suzuki piano at a young age, followed by rudimental snare drum training and a strong classical percussion education at the University of Memphis. She explains how she never took formal drum set lessons, instead transferring everything she learned in orchestral percussion into real-world playing situations. We talk about the importance of sound production, the influence of Fred Hinger's timpani approach, and why understanding how to pull sound from an instrument matters more than simply hitting it.A significant chapter of the conversation centers on Kim's years playing professionally in Memphis, including formative experiences on Beale Street and a pivotal five-year house gig at a casino in Tunica, Mississippi. Kim describes playing eight hours a day across constantly changing genres, learning how to truly listen, and developing pocket by following seasoned musicians who demanded restraint, patience, and deep time feel. She reflects on how those experiences reshaped her sense of groove, taught her how to place notes behind the beat, and forever changed how she hears music.We also dive into Kim's decision to step away from full-time performing and pursue a second career as a massage therapist. She speaks candidly about burnout, the physical toll of decades of drumming, and the emotional cost of turning music into a constant source of income. Kim explains how studying body mechanics and healing work transformed her relationship to her own body and helped her rediscover music as a source of joy rather than obligation. We talk about posture, self-care, and why musicians so often neglect their bodies until something breaks.The conversation turns deeply personal as Kim and I discuss sobriety, presence, and self-forgiveness. Kim shares her long journey of choosing sobriety, recognizing unhealthy patterns, and reclaiming clarity, health, and emotional honesty. We talk about how the music industry can normalize destructive habits, why change is frightening but necessary, and how being fully present is one of the greatest gifts musicians can give themselves and others.We also explore Kim's perspective on social media, identity, and self-worth. She reflects on joining Instagram later in life, why she shares music without chasing validation, and the dangers of tying personal value to views, likes, and algorithms. Kim speaks powerfully about separating self-worth from musical ability, encouraging younger musicians to protect their mental health and remember that music is something they do, not who they are.We close by talking about groove, pocket, bass, and drum relationships, favorite drummers, Memphis's rich musical legacy, and the importance of honoring the song above all else. This is a thoughtful, vulnerable, and profoundly human conversation about music, healing, and staying connected to what matters most.Thank you for listening.

It was a pleasure to speak with Rod for the first time in my career. He celebrated his 50th year as a professional drummer this past September. We discuss that and his latest project, Voices of Extreme. Before we got to those topics, Rod shared some great stories of touring with Rush and the legendary Neil Peart. He spoke about what an average day was like on that tour, his personality, and more. I also gave Rod a chance to plug his Wing Thing drum tool. From what I've heard, many touring drummers and drum techs use this tool. Was Winger underrated as far as their musicianship? He answers that question, as well as a little behind-the-scenes into the making of their hit, Seventeen. IMO, their record PULL was their best record. Unfortunately, a thing called grunge hit, and that album never got its due. It was a pleasure to speak with Rod....I hope you enjoy this.

Send us a textA packed ballroom. A tired drummer. A stranger rolls down his window and asks if he's leaving. That quick parking-lot chat sends Eric Haft—lifelong musician, jazz obsessive, student of Al Miller, Jim Chapin, and Keith Copeland—onto a stage with nothing but a mic and a pulse. What follows is a rare, unfiltered look at how rhythm shapes far more than music, and why the first laugh can feel like the cleanest downbeat of your life.We swap stories from a childhood steeped in Miles and Max Roach to the humbling shock of elite peers who force you to rebuild your hands, ears, and ego. Eric explains how singing standards, learning forms, and listening to Sinatra sharpened his pocket more than any lick ever did. Then the conversation pivots: a stand-up class turns fear into craft. We break down set structure, timing, crowd work, and how a seven-minute act stretches into a headlining hour through writing, reps, and ruthless editing. Along the way, we get real about club dates, volume wars, and why “play it like the record” can smother the art if you stop listening.If you've ever wondered what makes a drummer hireable—or a comic memorable—this talk draws the map. We dig into mentors and residencies, booking mechanics, theaters vs. clubs, and the quiet power of choosing gigs for either the art or the fee. The throughline is simple and hard: serve the song, serve the room, know your why. Groove still wins, and so does honesty.Hit play if you care about feel over flash, story over shtick, and craft that crosses disciplines. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves drums or stand-up, and leave a quick review to help more curious listeners find us.Support the show

Cody Ash grew up in a tiny town in Kentucky where the most exciting thing to do was play baseball or get into trouble. Today, he travels the world on private jets playing sold-out stadiums as the drummer for country-rap superstar Jelly Roll.In this episode of Escaping the Drift, John Gafford sits down with Cody to hear the wild story of his rise to the top. From driving 14 hours to New York City for a single unpaid show just to get his foot in the door, to the hilariously rumored reason he actually landed the Jelly Roll gig (hint: it involves hair), Cody's journey is a masterclass in hustle, networking, and being ready when the phone rings.If you are a musician, a creative, or just an entrepreneur trying to figure out how to break into a closed industry, Cody's "say yes to everything" mentality is exactly what you need to hear.In this episode, we cover:The 14-hour drive to NYC for one show that changed his life.Why "Small Town Mindset" kills more dreams than lack of talent.The truth about how he got hired by Jelly Roll.How to network in an industry where you know nobody.The reality of touring: It's not all parties and private jets.Chapter Titles & Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Did the Mullet Get Him the Job?04:15 – Growing Up in Small Town Kentucky11:30 – The "Drive to NYC" Hustle: 14 Hours for One Show19:45 – Breaking Into the Nashville Scene28:10 – The "Umpire" Incident: Why He Quit His Day Job35:50 – Getting the Call for Jelly Roll42:30 – The Mullet Story: How He Really Got Hired50:00 – Life on the Road: Stadiums vs. Dive Bars

Eddie Bayers-First Drummer EVER in the Country Music Hall of Fame by Vicki Abelson

In this episode, I sit down with drummer David Northrup for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about groove, longevity, and serving the song. David has built an incredible career by doing precisely that, whether he's playing traditional country, blues, soul, or roots-based music. We start by talking about his current work with Joe Nichols, why it's such a musical and personal fit, and what it means to work for an artist who values authenticity, consistency, and real country music. David shares stories from the road and explains why being a good human is just as important as being a great drummer.We spend time digging into David's early musical influences growing up in central New York, where constant exposure to Motown, singer-songwriter records, pop radio, and classic albums shaped his musical instincts. David talks about learning by listening, studying album credits, and developing a deep appreciation for feel and style long before social media or online tutorials existed. He reflects on how that environment taught him to truly listen, absorb, and respect the music rather than chase trends.David walks through his path to becoming a professional drummer, from starting in school band programs to a pivotal moment when he saw Chuck Mangione perform while in college. That experience helped him realize music was the path he needed to take seriously. We talk about the importance of mentors, including teachers who challenged him when he wasn't ready and supported him when he was, and how discipline, fundamentals, and humility played a massive role in his development.We dive deep into David's years in Nashville, including his first five years building connections, studio work, and eventually landing his long-running gig with Travis Tritt. David explains how Nashville truly is a five-year town, why patience matters, and how preparation and professionalism keep you working once you get the call. We also talk about his deep admiration for drummers like Carlos Vega, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Jordan, Russ Kunkel, and others, and why groove, taste, and feel will always matter more than flash.A significant highlight of the conversation is David's time touring with Boz Scaggs. He shares what it was like to step into such an iconic musical legacy, learn to play with conviction at very low volumes, and work alongside world-class musicians night after night. We talk about why playing the room matters, how restraint can be more complicated than power, and why those lessons apply to every drummer at every level.We also spend time talking about David's solo record Shapes, including how it came together over many years, the musicians involved, and why recording live, organic performances was central to the album's sound. David explains his philosophy of making music that's groove-focused, accessible, and enjoyable for listeners beyond just musicians. We close by discussing teaching, clinics, the importance of shuffle feel, regional time concepts, and the soft skills that help musicians not just get gigs but keep them. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation packed with wisdom for musicians and music lovers alike.To learn more about David, visit his website.

In this episode, Eddy and I realized that without physical drum magazines sitting around our studios, we've totally lost touch with what the major brands, besides our endorsements, are doing. So, we decided to fix that by taking a deep dive into companies that we are not sponsored by, starting with Pearl Drums!We answer the internet's most googled questions about the brand (Is Pearl actually good? Pearl vs. Tama?), and then—with an unlimited imaginary budget—we build our absolute dream Pearl kits from scratch.In this episode, we cover:The Dream Builds: I go with a Reference One and the Matt Halpern Signature Snare, while Eddy leans into nostalgia with a Maple/Gum kit and the Joey Jordison Signature Snare.The "Magazine Problem": Why it's so much harder to understand gear specs and innovation in the age of Instagram reels.Studio Update: I share the unfortunate news that my studio flooded on Christmas Day and that renovations are currently underway.Mentioned in this Episode:Pearl Reference One SeriesPearl Masters Maple/GumMatt Halpern Signature SnareJoey Jordison Signature SnareSupport the show

This episode gets personal about the ongoing nature of recovery, the importance of real community support, and what it means to truly manage your ADHD brain.

An old man carves a puppet for revenge, but when the puppet begins talking, he tries to teach it to be a real boy in order for his hair to be real as well.  As the puppet tries to prove his father's hair is real, he learns through hardship and hard work what it means to be a real boy, while also losing his fortune and being eaten by a shark.   Written by Ean Smith (@marcusdayhooray).        Sponsored by: Dan Raymond Souvenireal Medallion Collection Holders, The People's Democratic Republic Against Dan Raymond       Credits:      Matthew Storino (@StorinoMp) - Narrator, Parrot, Acquaintance 3 Fee Basanavicius (@fbasanavicius) - Piñot-cchio, Hostage Wife, Acquaintance 2 Dylan Carey (@_groovebox_) - Grandpa, Policeman, Homeowner, Director, Announcer 1, Crow, Dan Raymond, Roommate 1, Lamp-Wick, Dairy Farmer, Pedestrian 4, Acquaintance 1 Jeremy DeAntonio (@jeremydeantonio5) - Fred Savage, Geppetto, Ticket Taker, Pulcinella, Innkeeper, Owl, Beach Goer 2, Pedestrian 1, Sandwhich Staker, Daysk Haybel-Shoofel, Alidoro, Announcer 3 Alex Campbell (@likethesoup92) - Mastro Antonio, Bystander 2, Talking Cricket, Drummer, Fox, Announcer 2, Pigeon, Beach Goer 3, Fisherman, Pedestrian 3, Egg Counter, Little Man Susan Day - Mom, Bystander 1, Piper, Harlequin, Cat, Fairy Maiden, Beach Goer 1, Roommate 2, Pedestrian 2, Dormouse

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Goal Avoidance - How to Overcome the Aversion to Goal Setting. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." For many of us, the word “goal” has all kinds of negative associations. It can remind us of past failures, our short-comings, and our challenge with short and long-term planning. Because of how our hyper-creative brain works, our dopamine receptors, and challenges with executive functioning, we often have an initial burst of inspiration... But that initial energy tends to wane and we're left with a list of flat and possibly overwhelming goals that we never look at again. However, knowing how to work with goals is essential to making forward progress in your life. In this episode we explore a very simple trick that will completely change how you think about goals and we'll leave you with a clear exercise to make goal setting far more ADHD-friendly.  Links Mentioned in this Episode: (WORKSHOP) Annual Life Visioning Workshop - Jan 24 & 31 (WEBSITE) Mike Starkey - ADHD & Addiction (SOCIAL MEDIA) @adultadhdtips one Instagram (SOCIAL MEDIA) @adhdneurodivergent on BlueSky (PDF) Our Free ADHD Toolkit - All Worksheets from Previous Podcast Episodes Don't see a player?

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the show where we explore how melody, rhythm, and lyric can lift us out of the darkest moments. I'm your host, James Cox, a lifelong believer in music's healing power, and today I'm thrilled to sit down with an artist whose honesty, faith, and genre‑blending spirit make every track feel like a conversation with the soul.Meet Kenneith Perrin – a true “music mutt” who began his journey at eight, first behind a drum kit and later as a vocalist in his dad's church. From early days mimicking Soul‑Train performances to head‑lining clubs, festivals, and worship services, Kenneith's story is a testament to staying curious, staying authentic, and never letting anyone box you in.In this episode we'll:Trace his musical roots – how a bassist‑dad, a church debut, and an early love for disco, funk, R&B, and later new‑wave and rock shaped his sound.Dive deep into his 2020 pandemic anthem “Erased by Mercy.” Kenneith explains the song's raw confession of repentance, the grace he found in surrender, and why it still resounds for listeners battling doubt.Talk tour life – preview his upcoming 2026 Melodic Heart & Soul tour, from the Garden Grove Fest to Fire Forge Brewery in Greenville, SC, and how he blends intimate worship with high‑energy club gigs.Unpack his musical DNA – from MC Hammer, Sister Sledge, and Missing Persons to modern gospel, country, metal, and even guilty‑pleasure pop (Backstreet Boys, Beach Boys). He shares the moments when fans—whether in a church pew or at a Whiskey A Go‑Go—have told him his songs saved them.Reflect on faith & purpose – how his Christian walk informs every lyric, and the simple yet powerful message he hopes every listener walks away with: “You're never alone; there's always a song that can lift you up.”Whether you're a struggling artist, a music lover searching for hope, or just curious about the crossroads of faith and creative expression, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical insight. Grab your coffee (or a Bones‑flavored brew), press play, and let Kenneith's story remind you why, when words fail, music always finds a way to speak.

In episode 304 of the podcast we pick up where we left off with Dave Buckner, the original drummer of the legendary Papa Roach. We dig into what it was like for the band post ‘Infest', expectations surrounding a new record, and ultimately the writing and recording of ‘Lovehatetragedy'. It's not often we get to talk with a musician who lived the roller coaster Papa Roach did in the early 2000's, and getting Dave's insight and perspective on this time was podcast gold. Long live Papa Roach.Follow Dave here:IG: @davebuckner333Podcast theme performed by Trawl. Follow them here:WebsiteIG/X/TikTok: @trawlbandWe'd love for everyone to hear this episode!

In this episode, I sit down with drummer, educator, speaker, and author Rich Redmond, and this conversation goes far beyond the drum set. From the moment we start talking, it's clear that Rich approaches music and life with an uncommon level of purpose, energy, and presence. We talk about why he plays every song like it might be the last one he ever gets to play, how longevity changes your perspective on time, and why being fully present matters just as much offstage as it does behind the kit. Rich reflects on nearly five decades of holding the sticks, what it means to love the work truly, and why every gig still feels like the best day of his life.We dig into Rich's background growing up in Connecticut and Texas, how Texas marching band culture shaped his musical foundation, and why music education in that state continues to produce world-class players. He shares stories from his early training, the classic method books that shaped his hands and mind, and how transcription became a survival skill when he moved to Nashville. Rich breaks down how charting, reading, and preparation quickly opened doors, why the Nashville number system is such a powerful tool, and how learning to create efficient charts can save gigs and careers.A significant focus of the conversation is Rich's belief in using all of your gifts. We talk about his work as an educator, public speaker, author, and podcast host, and how teaching reinforces your own understanding of music, communication, and purpose. Rich explains his CRASH philosophy, commitment, relationships, attitude, skill, and hunger, and how that framework shaped his life, his speaking career, and his approach to helping others succeed, whether they are musicians, students, or corporate audiences. He shares how blending drumming with storytelling keeps audiences engaged, why attention spans are shorter than ever, and how performance can make ideas stick in ways slides never will.We spend time unpacking his long-running work with Jason Aldean, including how studio and live drumming require different mindsets, how records are made efficiently at a high level, and why consistency, trust, and preparation matter more than flash. Rich explains how live drumming is about execution, confidence, and making everyone onstage feel safe, while still delivering energy to the back row. We talk about signature fills, macro rhythms, playing in food groups, and why honoring the record while amplifying the live experience is part of the job.Rich also walks through his teaching philosophy, from Drumtensives and masterclasses to clinics and one-on-one coaching. He explains why reading, time, left-foot independence, stylistic awareness, and charting are non-negotiables, and how meeting students where they are can unlock confidence and growth. We also dive into the soft skills of being a working musician, why being prepared, likable, and open to direction often matters more than chops, and how trust keeps you working long term.We close by talking about health, longevity, curiosity, and why Rich continues to challenge himself creatively through writing, speaking, podcasting, and new musical ideas. It's an inspiring, practical, and honest conversation about building a meaningful career, staying hungry, and using music as a vehicle to lift others along the way.Music from the Episode:Amarillo Sky (Jason Aldean)My Kinda Party (Jason Aldean)The Truth (Jason Aldean)Thank you for listening.

Rock and roll is not rock and roll without a beat. John Ligan's new book “Backbeats: A History of Rock and Roll in Fifteen Drummers” is a journey through the history of rock and roll told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals.

The rock and roll lifestyle is often not a long-lived one. But there are things you, as a famous rock star, can do to protect yourself. Don't drink entire bottles of liquor in a single night. Don't mix illicit drugs. Maybe even consider switching to decaf. Just because you're hardcore doesn't mean you can't be straight edge.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconomopoulosKristyn BurttBob SansevereTopics:Jets suckCoffeeBand members dyingStranger Things finale/conspiracyRicky RiceICE vs. HiltonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
