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

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.

John Perrin is an incredible Chicago drummer and has toured or recorded with an impressive list of artists, including NRBQ, JD McPherson, Young Fresh Fellows, The Smoking Popes, Jake La Botz, Rodney Crowell, Jim Boggia, The Hushdrops and many more.We talk about how he got his first drum set at the age of two and played in his first band with his dad & brother at the age of ten. We also covered his love of record collecting, his incredible New Year's Eve experience and his love of Chicago.Time Stamps:1:40: What happened on New Years?9: How did you find your way into the Chicago music scene?16:22: Is it by choice that you tend to play with people older than you?21: NRBQ talk!25: Who wouldn't want to be friends with Scott McCaughey?28:50: Tell us your engagement story!32: Talk to us about the life of a session musician?41:20: You are about the experience - you want the spontaneity46: What is a dream project for you?65:25: Thick or thin crust pizza?66:40: Favorite venue to play a show and favorite venue to see a show at?68:14: What makes Chicago so unique as a music town?70:10: What is your go to cheap drink?72: What do we have going on over the next couple of months?

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.

In episode 303 of the podcast, we're joined by Dave Buckner, the original drummer of the legendary Papa Roach.

In this episode, I sit down with drummer Paul Stewart for a conversation that starts with how music can connect people across oceans and turns into a deep dive on taste, touch, craft, and the long arc of a career. Paul and I talk about how I first discovered his band The Feeling years ago from a CD a friend handed me after a gig, and how that one listen turned into a long-term appreciation for the songs, the playing, and the production. Paul shares why so many musicians connected with that sound, and how their work pulled from both the 70s world of Supertramp, 10CC, Elton John, and Fleetwood Mac, and the deeper 60s roots that fed that era, like The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, and The Zombies. We get into drum sound, why that thuddy, dead 70s tone fits their music so well, and how those choices shaped the identity of the recordings.Paul walks me through his origin story, from being hooked on drum sound as a kid, to getting his first kit at 12, to saying yes to every playing opportunity he could find. He tells an incredible story about a middle school teacher who stayed late after school so Paul could get extra time in the drum room, and we zoom out on how mentors, parents, and supportive educators change the course of a life. From there, we talk about preparation, professionalism, and the responsibility you carry in an ensemble, including how the anxiety of being underprepared can be its own lesson in why doing the work matters. Paul also shares a regret he has about not keeping his reading chops sharper, and why playing along with records became his true north as a drummer.We dig into influences from both sides of Paul's musical world, from rock and early Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, to the cassette tapes an uncle sent that opened the door to jazz, funk, fusion, and players like Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, and the Tower of Power world. Paul explains how the UK acid jazz scene became a significant pull, and how an acid jazz band at music college eventually evolved into The Feeling. We also talk about what it's like working with major artists outside the band, including how touring logistics can lead to local musicians being hired, and how surreal it can be to play iconic songs with legendary voices while still remembering they're just musicians on stage doing the same job.A meaningful part of our conversation is about performance anxiety, stage fright, and the emotional extremes musicians ride before, during, and after gigs. We talk honestly about confidence, coping, and what it means to choose a healthier path, and we acknowledge that even global superstars can struggle with fear right before walking on stage. Paul and I also reflect on the approaching anniversary of The Feeling's first album, how those songs were originally recorded as a weekend friends project without any expectation of success, and how playing them now carries twenty years of growth, finesse, and perspective while still honoring the original parts that make the songs work. We close with what Paul has been up to recently, including work with Anastacia, Paul Young, The Voice UK, and the broader creative world around the band, and why music remains a powerful source of joy, balance, and hope for people everywhere.Music from the Episode:Never Be Lonely (The Feeling)Everyday and All of the Night (The Feeling)Sun Won't Shine (The Feeling)I Want You Now (The Feeling)Thank you for listening.

In questo episodio incontro Alessandro Deidda, batterista de Le Vibrazioni, per una lunga chiacchierata a 360° tra musica, batteria e storie di palco.Ripercorriamo gli inizi negli anni '90, le sale prove di Milano, la nascita della band e il successo improvviso dei primi anni 2000, con tutti i retroscena legati a “Dedicato a te”, MTV e al mondo mainstream.Parliamo di tour, pressioni, compromessi, registrazioni in studio, ma anche di approccio da batterista “da band”, ascolto, suono, dinamiche sul palco e strumenti. ► I miei Corsi Online https://suonarelabatteria.com

In this deeply personal and wonderfully candid episode, we're joined by one of rock's most recognisable and influential drummers: Liberty DeVitto. For three decades, Liberty was the rhythmic engine behind Billy Joel — the man whose explosive, intuitive playing powered classics like “Only the Good Die Young,” “Movin' Out,” “You May Be Right,” “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” and so many more. But as you'll hear, his story is so much bigger than the music that made him famous.Liberty opens up about his Brooklyn upbringing, marked by a tough home life and a school system that didn't quite know what to do with a kid like him. He talks about the teacher who dismissed his dreams outright, and the moment that changed everything: seeing the Beatles on television and suddenly realising what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.From there, Liberty takes us on a vivid journey through the early days — the basement rehearsals, the bar gigs, the scramble to get noticed — until fate put him in the same room as a young Billy Joel. The chemistry was instant, electric, and undeniable. Liberty reminisces about the early records where the band was still finding its voice, the Stranger sessions where everything clicked, and the whirlwind that followed as Billy Joel became one of the biggest artists on the planet.Of course, success rarely comes without friction. Liberty speaks honestly about life inside the Billy Joel band, the tight-knit camaraderie, the touring madness, the studio magic, and the growing tensions that eventually fractured the group. He doesn't shy away from the painful parts — the confusion, hurt, and years of silence after he was let go. But he also shares the long path back toward healing, forgiveness, and ultimately reconciliation with Billy after fifteen years apart.Along the way, he talks about fatherhood, sobriety, personal growth, and the rediscovery of joy through new creative partnerships and projects — including his heartfelt work with the band The Slim Kings and his passion for mentoring young musicians.This conversation is full of humour, honesty, vulnerability, and wisdom, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the life of a man who helped shape some of the most iconic songs of the '70s, '80s, and beyond. Whether you're a longtime Billy Joel fan, a drummer, or simply someone who loves a good story of resilience and reinvention, this episode delivers in spades.Settle in — Liberty DeVitto's journey is one you won't forget.For more about Liberty head for his website https://libertydevitto.com/I hope you enjoy his story.

Hola amigo! In questa lunga chiacchierata ho avuto il privilegio di sedermi accanto a Walter Calloni, un musicista che ha davvero segnato la storia della batteria e della musica italiana.Walter non è solo un batterista: è un testimone diretto di una stagione irripetibile, quella tra gli anni '70 e '80, in cui la musica italiana viveva un fermento creativo incredibile. In questo video ci porta dentro quel mondo con racconti, ricordi e retroscena che raramente avrai sentito.Si parte dagli esordi giovanissimi e dall'entusiasmo di un ragazzo che già a tredici anni incideva dischi. Poi arrivano le grandi collaborazioni: Lucio Battisti, Fabrizio De André, Eugenio Finardi, la PFM, gli Area, e molti altri.Storie di studio, di palco, di viaggi e di un'industria musicale che in quegli anni faceva girare davvero tanti soldi.Ma non è solo un tuffo nel passato: Walter apre anche il suo mondo didattico, raccontando come studia, come insegna, quali sono gli errori più comuni dei giovani batteristi e perché leggere la musica e avere una band siano due passaggi fondamentali per crescere davvero.Ascolta la discografia di Walter Calloni su Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/calloni

Health Hats Danny celebrates 50 – years with his honey & pounds lost. With gratitude for privilege, & best health thru family, media, music, travel, & advocacy. Summary Think of 2025 as Danny’s Sofrito year—familiar and unexpected ingredients simmering together. The base: 50 years married, daily saxophone practice, steady MS management. The aromatics: Cuban jazz immersion, co-founding a Personal Health Data Bank, and celebrating with old friends on Bloom Mountain. The heat: losing 50 pounds, earning $150 as a “professional” musician, and learning from his grandsons. What makes sofrito work is the slow sauté, the patient layering of flavors. Danny’s learning the same with music (leave white space), with health (five out of ten is excellent), and with AI (it changes the work but doesn’t replace Mom’s feedback). Between PCORI Board meetings, podcast production, band rehearsals, and startup strategy sessions, he’s discovered that retirement’s spicy complexity comes from knowing when to drop out, when to join the rhythm section, and when to let the energizing endorphins carry you through disturbing times. The recipe? Nap whenever and keep improvising. Click here to view the printable newsletter with images. More readable than a transcript.

I have plenty to do on my own schedule. I can nap almost whenever I want. I‘m no better at saying no. Every day feels rich, although I don't always know what day it is. From Mom to AI My podcast about best health continues to flourish and nourish. Thank you very much. I embrace the tension between creativity and productivity as I test new approaches and media. I published fifteen new episodes in 2025, plus 32 YouTube episodes, and countless social media shorts. What do you think of my new intro and outro? Grandsons Leon and Oscar encouraged me to update them. Leon has been updating my website, as a growing proportion of people access my back catalog. Both Leon and Oscar advise me on direction, content, and strategy, especially using social media. I meet regularly with my virtual, supportive, and challenging podcasting peeps. I enjoy experimenting with AI in production to find and create images and suggest brief descriptions and section headings. My favorite prompt is “Suggest three ironic titles, brief descriptions, and section headings, a tech-savvy teen would appreciate.” I rarely use the suggested responses, but I chuckle and take an unexpected path. AI does not make me more productive; it changes the work a tad. When I first started blogging, I would read draft episodes to my mom. Her feedback was more often helpful than AI's. I miss my mom. 50 Years of Love and Privilege Roasted The highlights of the year included celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with old friends and my grandsons. Our son, Ruben, served as Master of Ceremonies. Nine people from our 1975 wedding joined us in July on Bloom Mountain in West Virginia to tell stories. We played the Dating Game and Danny and Ann Trivia. We, rather, I, got roasted. Oscar, Bruce Kimmel, and I played Simple Gifts on clarinet, bass, and baritone sax. We sang Simple Gifts at our wedding. Listeners and viewers, you can find full performances of this and other referenced tunes at the end of the podcast. Readers, click the links in the transcript or check the show notes. Rolling in Cuba Another highlight was our week-long trip to Cuba for a music extravaganza. Dan Fox and Morningside Studios arranged it, and the Havana Music School hosted a week of the Havana Jazz Festival, daily lessons and ensemble work, culminating in a gig at a restaurant attended by many Havana musicians in town for the Festival. One of the tunes I recorded from the gig, “Sofrito” by Mongo Santamaria, has had 48,000 views on YouTube as of this writing. Before this, my most-viewed videos had 300 views. I'm grateful to Pachy Silveria for saxophone instruction and to Claudia Fumero and Gisselle Perez for their kindness in hosting. I worried about wheelchair access before we went to Cuba, but I needn't have. My wheelchair was no more of a barrier there than it is anywhere else. Too Many and Too Few Horns Speaking of music, I'm playing in two bands now-Lechuga Fresca Latin Band and Summer Street Stompers Dixieland Band. Lechuga Fresca is reconstituting after several musicians moved on to other projects. I'm often the only horn player at rehearsals, while we have five horn players in the Summer Street Stompers. Too few and too many. Both situations have challenges. I've never had to hold my own in a band completely; usually, I hide behind someone. With a horn section, the music at its best is controlled cacophony. Too many horns are nuts. I'm learning to lay back, not hide, drop out sometimes, join the rhythm section other times, and leave more white space in my solos. I'm grateful to my teacher of 17 years, Jeff Harrington. Oscar and I figure that I must be a professional musician. While I don't make a living playing, I made $150 this year. I average 1 hour a day with my music, and it feeds my soul and creates new pathways in my Swiss-cheese brain. Best Governance I'm in my sixth year on the PCORI (Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute) Board, focused on shifting the balance of power in community-research partnerships and in the participatory governance of AI used in research. If reappointed, I'll enthusiastically re-up for another six years. PCORI has the best Board, leadership, and staff dynamics, as well as the output, of any organization I've participated with during my 50-year career. A nod to Jan Oldenburg for outstanding coaching that kept me focused on two goals at a time. Game-Changing Startup A year ago, I would have said serving on the PCORI Board of Governors was the pinnacle of my career but let me tell you about my new career gig. For twenty-five years, I've worked with many collaboratives to advance patients’ abilities to turn their health data into useful information to make choices about their health and care. “Gimme my damn data” is a great slogan and first step, but success could be drinking dirty water out of a firehose. I virtually met my start-up partners, Tomas Moras and Marianne Hudgins in April and started working together in August. We're seeking seed funding to build a Personal Health Data Bank, an owner-controlled health data bank that promotes individual data ownership, safety, security, and trust by storing personal health data from any source and using AI-assisted synthesis to serve the data owner. Data owners' needs vary. We might need our data for research participation, health data summarization, clinician visit prep, care coordination with family in whatever diaspora, or tracking data over the years, across health systems and locations.  We have a sandbox where we are testing and enhancing existing open-source technology while we figure out participatory governance to address ethical, privacy, and usability issues. We favor a bottom-up rather than a top-down approach as we build community and services for owners and their trusted networks. I'm excited about the challenge of finding the smallest viable community that can use these Data Banks, with everyone making enough money to sustain the banks, service providers, and networks. No data broker would make money on the data. I'm revved up as I learn about a new audience – investors. The diversity of investors rivals that of any culture I'm new to. Onward I traveled to DC, Portland OR, New Orleans, and Colorado. In 2026, we booked a trip to Belize with Linda and Mike DeRosa. We are also planning a trip to Ireland and Wales with my brother-in-law, Paul Boland, I'll be sharing more about my adventures on my podcast and social media. Best Health Now Oh, I almost forgot. My health is excellent, meaning I spend a decent share of time in a state of best health. Talked to a friend, Shel. How do you answer people when they ask how you are doing? On a scale of 1 to 10, with this administration, the best is a seven. Considering the annoyances of MS, that brings it down to a five. So, how are you doing? Five out of ten is best health.  I lost 50 pounds this year after a Type II Diabetes diagnosis. Mobility remains steady, though I was slowing down before the weight loss. I rate symptoms as annoying, seriously annoying, or disabling. Episodes of disabling symptoms are rare and brief. I know how to handle most symptoms most of the time. I'm delighted with a five. Endorphins and Gratitude I'm grateful for my health, my pathological optimism, my privilege, my honey, my grandkids, and my health team. I appreciate all of you – family, friends, and colleagues. You infuse me with energizing endorphins, the best antidote to fatigue. May you celebrate the energizing moments you find in these disturbing times.

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD, Creative Minds & The Antidote to School Trauma: Revolutionizing Education with Demetrius Fuller. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." In this episode, we're joined by pioneering educator and art teacher Demetrius Fuller. We explore his groundbreaking educational framework entitled "The HOMies," a neurodiversity-friendly approach to classroom learning based on the Harvard's Studio Habits of Mind. In our discussion, we unpack the shame and trauma often experienced by neurodivergent students, and the importance of having an alternative education framework that supports self-esteem, embraces unique learning styles, and can successfully integrate into the mainstream public school system. Demetrius introduces the HOMie characters, and how each represents a specific aspect of learning. He also discusses how this framework is currently being implemented into his school in Chelsea, Massachusetts.

Does that ever get to be the case, or as a drummer, are you just loving the fact that you are just beating on a drum, beating on the pots and pans, and just going at it? 18:08 - Where did you come up with your style of drumming, and who were your influences? 22:30 - Talk a little bit about why you left The Offspring and what's happened since then, and the comments of the punk music?  ------ Each week, the SUCCESS IS A CHOICE podcasting network brings you leadership expert Jamy Bechler and guest experts who provide valuable insights, tips, and guidance on how to maximize your potential, build a stronger culture, develop good leadership, create a healthy vision, optimize results, and inspire those around you. ------ Please check out our virtual sessions for parents, coaches, students, and administrators at FreeLeadershipWorkshop.com.
