This week's installment of Big Fat Five features Marcus Finnie…a proud Memphis native now based in Nashville and he's one of the most respected session drummers and educators around. His credits span genres and include icons such as Donna Summer, Billy Preston, Larry Carlton, Keb Mo, Taj Mahal, Lady A, and many more. He's also played on multiple grammy winning and grammy nominated records. I recently went down a rabbit hole watching his clinics and he was too insightful and talented NOT have on the show.

In this PART 2 episode of The Drum Panel, I'm yet again joined by drummers Gunnar Olsen (Puscifer, Big Data) and Eric Urrea (Marina City) for a deep dive into the internal lives of drummers — the anxiety, the self-doubt, the flow states, and the fears we rarely talk about.  Today we discuss: The adrenaline of live shows How we learn songs Reoccurring drummer nightmares The power of simple praise Content creation as practice Drummer swap fantasies The burden drummers carry Looking ahead for The Drum Panel --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

The salient point of this podcast episode centers around the multifaceted nature of musicianship and the diverse paths that drummers may pursue within the realm of music. We delve into the notion that while some individuals possess extraordinary natural talent, others can achieve proficiency through dedication and a strong work ethic. The discussion further explores the implications of technological advancements on contemporary drumming, highlighting how electronic elements influence traditional playing styles. We emphasize the importance of listening as a foundational skill for any musician, positing that true musicality transcends mere technical ability and requires a deep engagement with the art form. Ultimately, we reflect on the evolving landscape of music, where drummers must adapt and innovate to maintain relevance in an increasingly digital world.The discourse within the podcast episode illuminates the multifaceted journey of musicianship, particularly through the lens of drumming. The speakers delve into the inherent motivation that drives individuals to engage with their craft, emphasizing the importance of inspiration rather than succumbing to discouragement in the face of overwhelming talent exhibited by others, such as renowned drummers like Larnell Lewis. Speaker A articulates a profound understanding of their own limitations while simultaneously recognizing the value of personal progress and enjoyment in the art of drumming. This nuanced perspective fosters a community of encouragement and camaraderie among musicians, where the pursuit of excellence is celebrated, irrespective of individual benchmarks of success. The discussion further navigates the intricate relationship between natural ability and relentless work ethic, underscoring that while some may possess innate talent, it is often the combination of dedication and skill development that propels a musician to new heights. This discourse serves as a reminder that the journey of a musician is not merely about competition but rather about personal evolution and shared experiences.Takeaways: The importance of humility is emphasized when comparing one's skills to those of the best drummers. Listening is identified as a fundamental skill necessary for effective musicianship and communication. The integration of technology in music has transformed traditional drumming practices, influencing how drummers perform. Drummers are encouraged to explore various musical styles in order to enhance their versatility and creativity. A discussion about the competitive nature of music highlights the need for artists to focus on personal growth rather than comparison. Technology continues to evolve the music industry, requiring musicians to adapt and innovate in their craft.

In this episode, The Drum Panel returns with ME (Ben Hilzinger), alongside my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City), Gunnar Olsen (Puscifer, Bruce Springsteen, Mother Feather) for a roundtable discussion on all things drum.  Today we discuss: How Gunner personalizes drum parts for legacy bands like Eve 6 while still respecting the original recordings The balance between improvisation and replication—what “respecting the instrument” really means Dream gear: Lars Ulrich's ...And Justice for All Tama kit and Herb Alexander's wild setup from “My Name Is Mud” Behind the scenes of the Primus / Puscifer / A Perfect Circle tour and being at the center of major drum world headlines Josh Freese's quiet exit from Foo Fighters mid-tour and what Gunner learned from watching him handle it with grace and intensity The surreal story of getting the call to play on a Bruce Springsteen record How much creative freedom Gunner gets with Puscifer and how each tour takes on its own sonic identity Navigating feedback in the studio vs. live gigs—and why the context always matters Gunner's candid reflection after a rough wedding gig and how it reignited his desire to practice Blending live drums with electronic stems: what Gunner calls the “hip-hop show” approach The mysterious phenomenon of “next day clarity” when learning new songs and why the brain needs rest Overcoming overthinking, performance anxiety, and “the yips”—and the importance of showing yourself grace Why not playing for a while might be the best practice you didn't know you needed 'My Name Is Mud' Video - DRUM PICS --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Mark Lo  (Director/Producer) has worked in film and TV for more than 20 years. First, as a music agent and supervisor, collaborating with composers and artists to bring music to picture and then as an Executive Music Producer Mark recently produced and directed the feature music documentary Count Me In. A  celebration of drummers and their unique ability to drive generations of music.     I love being a drummer. Everyone thinks you're dumb. What they don't realise is that if it weren't for you, their band would suck. – Dave Grohl Eat drums! Eat cymbals! – Animal   Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at. John Bonham   Count Me In is a celebration of the role of the drummer in popular music.  Mark Lo's British-made doc dates back to the even darker days of 2021.  It's drummers talking about other drummers and appreciating great drumming, and if that works for you, then hear the drummer and get wicked.   The documentary includes interviews with the late Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Stewart Copeland (The Police), Roger Taylor (Queen), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), Cindy Blackman Santana (Lenny Kravitz, Santana) and Jim Keltner (The Traveling Wilburys) and many others. They all seem to talk about Keith Moon (The Who), John Bonham (Led Zep), and Neil Peart (Rush).   Watching Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, John Bonham, Ginger Baker, or Keith Moon play for the first time is amazing. Of course, many of those legends were inspired themselves by the great American jazz drummers like Max Roach, Buddy Rich, and Gene Krupa. Still, watching Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden give a detailed account of the differences in style between Starr and Watts is remarkable.   Enjoy the drumology session on the Mulligan Stew Podcast.  Turn it Up and Count Me In.

In this episode, The Drum Panel returns with ME (Ben Hilzinger), alongside my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City), Max Flanders (Lukas Nelson), and Dean Sinclair (Capital Soirée, Worry Club, Ostin) for a roundtable on the ever-fragile topic of taste. Today we discuss: How to handle unsolicited feedback without spiraling into existential dread The delicate balance between self-expression and being hireable Whether “good taste” is something you're born with—or can develop That awkward moment when a producer tells you to “play something you're already playing” Learning to interpret non-drummer feedback without losing your mind The anxiety of showing people your work… and how to move past it Whether your teenage influences are a crutch… or your secret weapon Developing your own voice in a world full of technically perfect drummers—and incoming AI Overcoming “red light syndrome” in the studio and learning to groove under pressure This one is for anyone who's ever questioned their taste, their technique, or their place in the industry. It's funny, raw, and packed with perspective. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

My guest today is Ari Hoenig — drummer, composer, educator, and all-around wizard behind the kit. Ari is known for his melodic, almost vocal approach to the drums, especially his ability to bend pitch and bring out distinct note choices on the instrument in a way that sounds nearly impossible. He's collaborated with artists like Chris Potter, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Joshua Redman, and many others, but it's his own solo work that really puts a spotlight on his creative spirit. In this episode, Ari walks through five records that helped shape his unique voice — from the expressive swing of Papa Jo Jones to the unconventional phrasing of Thelonious Monk. We also dive into Ari's early classical roots, why Keith Jarrett changed his musical DNA, and how he began developing his signature melodic drumming approach. Hope you enjoy the five records that shaped Ari Hoenig into the deeply expressive and fiercely original musician he is today.

Drummers...let's hit it! ;) feedback: musicandtheorypodcast@gmail.com

This week we're talking about the Leeds band Vessels. Or more specifically we're talking about their quite abrupt change from identikit post rock band to something a lot more electronic and a lot more enticing. By their own admission, Vessels had something of a problem: the band had to evolve or die. They were trapped making the same post rock songs as everyone else, using the same delay pedals, creating the same "emotional" buildups that made grown men in plaid shirts cry. So they did something radical: they put down their guitars and picked up synthesisers. The result was Dilate, an album that lost them some fans but gained them something more valuable - an actual identity. In this episode, we not only get into the weeds of their discography (as we always do), but we also talk about post rock generally, as well as the band's history, their decision to turn to live electronic, how much of a nightmare that actually can be to pull off live, the influence that Berlin clubs had on their new direction, and so much more. Episode highlights: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Setup 02:24 Introducing the Band: Vessels 03:57 Exploring Vessels' Evolution 07:26 The Post-Rock Genre and Vessels' Place in It 25:16 Vessels' Early Work and Initial Reception 37:41 Analysing the Last Third of the Album 38:06 Songwriting Evolution and Structural Ambitions 38:48 Drummers and Instrumentation 39:59 Remixes and Bonus Albums 40:29 Glastonbury and the Inflection Point 41:02 Transition to Electronic Music 41:46 Reflecting on the Change of Direction 44:56 The Great Distraction Album 45:19 Challenges of Remote Collaboration 47:39 Vocal Contributions and Collaborations 54:19 Dilate Album Review 01:08:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Episode 77: Steve Smith.The incredible, multi-faceted, Steve Smith was one of my favorite drummers growing up. His playing with Journey blew me mind, and the fact that he had a full-on jazz career alongside his rock success made him even more inspiring to me. Steve made Modern Drummer's Top 25 Drummers of All Time list and won the #1 All-Around Drummer Award five years in a row. His credits are stacked, from early gigs with Jean Luc-Ponty (alongside Allan Holdsworth), Focus, and Ronnie Montrose, to arena-filling hits with Journey, to leading his band Vital Information (for the past 4 decades). He's done sessions with Mariah Carey, Andrea Bocelli, Vasco Rossi, Zucchero, Savage Garden, Bryan Adams, and Zakir Hussain. On the jazz side, Steve has played with heavyweights like Steps Ahead, Tom Coster, Ahmad Jamal, Victor Wooten, Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Frank Gambale, Stuart Hamm, Dweezil Zappa, Hiromi, and Bill Evans.Steve is one of the greatest to ever do it, and it was a total honor to have him on the show.

This week's guest is Billy Martin ... a world-renowned drummer, educator, visual artist, producer, and author. He has collaborated with some of the best, including (but certainly not limited to) John Scofield, John Zorn, Iggy Pop, Natalie Merchant, Flea and many more. Still, many people know him best for his work with Medeski, Martin & Wood, alongside John Medeski and Chris Wood. If you enjoy this episode, please go check out Billy's interview with Mike Dawson on the Drum Candy podcast titled “Improvising and Cultivating a Creative Mindset”. I recently re-watched his anti-instructional film, Life on Drums, and I can't recommend it enough. It's essentially a series of conversations between Martin and his first drum teacher, Allen Herman. These discussions delve into topics such as soloing, time, tone, phrasing, free playing, and so much more. Interspersed throughout are some pretty rad solo and duet performances…all filmed with a cinematic aesthetic. So check that out if that interests you.  Right off the bat, we dive into the topic of soloing — something Billy encourages all drummers to do first thing when they sit behind the kit (even if just for five minutes), before jumping into the records that shaped him into the remarkable musician he is today.

In this part two episode, I continue my deep-dive chat with co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City) — picking up right where last week's marathon conversation left off. Today we discuss: The most useful failures musicians face (and how to reframe them) Why “pocket” means something different on every gig Learning to own your voice — whether as a hired gun or band member How to stay mentally and physically sane while on the road Why doing non-music things on tour actually fuels your art We open up about imposter syndrome, ADHD, burnout, and what it really takes to balance creativity with professionalism. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Support this podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddyIn this episode, we explore the journey of becoming a drummer, discuss the transition from hobbyist to professional, the challenges faced along the way, and the realities of pursuing a music career. We then chat about our personal journeys of personal growth, branding in the music industry, and the mindset required to succeed. We emphasize the need for action and taking control of one's career, rather than waiting for opportunities to come. The discussion culminates in the realization that greatness is a continuous journey, requiring dedication and adaptability.Sound Bites"I'm a throne slut.""You can't beat it.""It's important to have these conversations.""You're doing the same thing.""I think it started way before the band.""I could make 60 drummers.""Being good isn't the answer.""How big are your ears?"Support the show

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. In this episode of The Drum Panel, I'm joined by my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City, The Catching) for a laid-back but honest conversation about drumming, the music industry, self-worth, and everything in between. We had originally planned to bring on a guest, but when that fell through, we decided to just catch up and hit record—which, honestly, ended up being exactly what we needed. Today we discuss: A belief we both held about drumming early on that we've since let go of. Why learning kick drum patterns is my first step when tackling new material. The very real anxiety of walking into a new gig and playing in front of a band for the first time. Our approach to charting vs. memorizing—and why it changes depending on the situation. Whether drummers deserve songwriting credit and how we navigate that conversation. The difference between publishing and master rights, and what every drummer should understand about the business. Our evolving definitions of “making it” as working musicians. How our instruments can feel like both a source of pride and frustration—and how that ties into self-worth. The constant push-pull between confidence and impostor syndrome, and how we deal with it. If you're navigating your own creative path, juggling multiple projects, or just trying to stay inspired through the ups and downs, I think this episode will hit home. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

In this episode we answer emails from Jeff, Jenzo and Sam.  We discuss spending money on relationships, a 72(t) situation, what to do with an unused Coverdell, GDE (again), a nice risk parity write-up and some random musings about the history of free speech and communications technologies.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional links:Jenzo's GDE Backtest:  testfol.io/?s=0SLNjC7As4bSam's Most Excellent Risk Parity Explication Blog Post:  15 Uncorrelated Assets | SSiSSam's Most Excellent Bill Of Rights Blog Post:  Boxed In | SSiSBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:When markets tumble and headlines scream doom, properly diversified portfolios reveal their quiet strength. This episode showcases exactly that phenomenon - while small cap value has plummeted 15.58% and the S&P 500 has shed 5.74% year-to-date, gold has soared a remarkable 25.87%, creating a balancing effect that keeps risk parity portfolios remarkably stable.We dive into listener Jeff's retirement strategy, examining his use of 72T distributions and exploring whether his recent RV purchase makes financial sense. The answer turns out to be more about relationships than raw numbers. Research shows expenditures that facilitate meaningful connections tend to yield the greatest happiness returns - a powerful framework for evaluating major purchases in retirement.The emerging world of composite leveraged ETFs takes center stage as we examine GDE, which combines S&P 500 exposure with gold allocation at 1.8x leverage. While innovative funds like these package risk parity principles into convenient solutions, they represent a tradeoff between simplicity and control. We explore whether these instruments belong in a sophisticated asset allocation strategy or if traditional single-asset funds still offer superior flexibility.For investors fascinated by portfolio design theory, we tackle the question of just how many truly uncorrelated assets one needs. While hedge funds and endowments might pursue 15+ distinct asset classes, diminishing returns suggest a more practical approach for individual investors. The mathematical reality shows the incremental benefit of adding that 11th or 12th asset pales in comparison to the impact of moving from one or two assets to five diverse investments.Our weekly portfolio review reveals the practical power of these principles. Despite market turmoil, most of our sample portfolios remain nearly flat or slightly positive for the year - precisely the stability risk parity promises. Whether you're just beginning your investment journey or fine-tuning an established strategy, this episode offers both theoretical frameworks and practical evidence for building resilient portfolios in uncertain times.Ready to hear more?

What is up!? We're back with another installment of Big Fat Five, where I invite on drummers who've inspired me to break down the five records that helped shape their unique voice behind the kit.

It's raw, nostalgic, catchy, and perfectly saturated—DIY in the best sense of the word. He does a great job of setting up his backstory and artistic approach right at the top of our chat, so I'll shut up—for now.

What is up?! Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming — a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. My name is Ben Hilzinger, and today's episode is a little different. A few months ago, I was sent a book by drummer and educator Mark Feldman — founder of Bang! The Drum School. The book is called Drumming Decoded: The Secret Code to Quickly Go From Newbie to Confident Drummer. It's a relatively quick read at around 180 pages, but it's surprisingly comprehensive. Now, I usually try to steer clear of too much “insider baseball” on this podcast because I want everyone to feel part of the conversation. That said, I also realized I haven't really addressed beginner drummers directly in a lot of my content. So I brought Mark on not only to promote his book (which I do recommend — link's in the show notes), but also to have a conversation about building a solid foundation from day one. And while this book and convo are definitely geared toward novice drummers, there are a ton of takeaways that can help any drummer — no matter where you're at in your journey. So, whether you're just picking up sticks for the first time or you're revisiting the fundamentals, I hope you dig this episode. Even if you think you've heard it all before... you might just grow a little more. Here's to the beginners — keep going. You got this! Check out Bang!
