Alright, I kept saying I started the podcast 10 years ago...it's been like. 6.5.  Either way, here's the link to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/44G87JL Let's stay in touch via YouTube or Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timbuell

 Throughout history, indigenous people from China, Africa, and America have believed that music, particularly rhythm and drumming, is intertwined with healing and wellness.And the military has used drumming for encouragement and to dispel the fear… Actually, it is working…For the Shaman is drumming crucial to go in another realm where he can heal or ask …It is even proved that we can go by certain rhythms in a trance… And this becomes a problem for specific fabric work, that through a fixed rhythmic pattern the fabric workers go in trance…So that the fabric has to change continuously the rhythmic of the noise or labor work. Otherwise, too many accidents will happen…Our society has forgotten the powerful drumming, Drumming is much more powerful than meditation for relaxation and dispels our fears…And even easier to learn!I have introduced the drumming for sleeping in a previous blog…This means you tap with your left and right hand on your tights in the rhythmic of the heart (60 to 90 beats), and after few minutes you slow down the rhythmic (30-45beats), and you will start yawning.    And this technique also works to lower our stress level.Imagine your unborn kid always hears the heartbeat of his/her mother… If the heartbeat is going fast, the baby is getting nervous and if the heartbeat slows down the baby calms down…. Our mind is hooked up through the rhythmic and forget to think… So deeper the drum sounds so more impact…Try out with your spouse to breath deeply in and out and don't try to be synchrony… After some time both of you are breathing synchrony… We are hardwired to rhythmics Other studies proof that drumming 1.) is calming down,2.) give us focus,3.) has healing effects for: hypertension, asthma, chronic pain, arthritis, mental illness, migraines, Autistic, cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, paralysis, emotional disorders …,4.) boosts the immune system,5.) promotes the production of endorphins and endogenous opiates, the bodies own morphine-like painkillers, and can thereby help in the control of pain,6.) brings harmony in our brain, balances out our left (thinking) and right side (emotions) of the brain, and7.) Releases Negative Feelings, Blockages, and Emotional Traumas.The easiest drum to learn is the African Djembe or the Indian Tabla… I have learned to play a little bit Tabla and taught myself the Djembe. I love the sound of the Tabla, and the Djembe is light, compact and easier to play.   Or look at the video Best drummer. My Video: Why is drumming so precious?  https://youtu.be/b8oJU6vpw5cMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Why-is-drumming-so-precious.mp3

The title says it all: This week, we celebrate albums with super awesome drumming with Third Lads Evan Sult and Dave Eastman from The Open Flames! Evan Sult is the super awesome drummer behind Harvey Danger and their '90s alt-rock classic 'Flagpole Sitta' (c'mon, you know you've played air drums to it before). Plus, Harvey Danger's underrated second album, King James Version, got the deluxe vinyl treatment for its 25th anniversary on Record Store Day in April! Evan Sult and Paige Brubeck (who also make up the duo Sleepy Kitty) and bassist Len Bendel joined forces with singer/songwriter/guitarist extraordinaire Dave Eastman to form the literate pop noir band The Open Flames. Their new debut album, Same Time Next Year, rides a wild wave from crescendo to crescendo. Dave's novelist's eye tells narratives that he and co-vocalist Paige embody as characters which the band explodes into cinematic color via Evan's powerful drums, Paige and Len's inventive basslines, and a full spectrum of distorted guitar tones and harmonies. Same Time Next Year is out now on Subjangle: ⁠https://theopenflames.bandcamp.com⁠ Dave also treats O3L listeners to an exclusive live acoustic version of the album track 'My Birthday'. Oh, and did we mention it's super awesome?!? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. So here we go. I hope you enjoy the records that helped shape Marcus Finnie into the impactful musician he is today.  --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

In this episode of the Late for Band Practice podcast, hosts Kyle and Shane attempt their first interview, introducing the band Check Online. The conversation flows from nostalgic memories of Shane and Kyle's early music days to the dynamics of band relationships and the importance of drumming. They all discuss the evolution of music production, the significance of physical music formats, and the creative process behind songwriting, highlighting the influences that shape their musical journeys. The band discusses reviving the importance of CDs and the ownership therein, the importance of live music in a digital age, and the emotional connection to music ownership. They explore recording techniques, the significance of timing in music production, and the punk spirit of authenticity. The conversation also touches on inspiring the next generation of musicians, the live experience, and the balance between technology and authenticity in the future of music.

On episode one hundred and fifty two of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim spend a majority of the episode catching up and talking about Tim's new song and the idea of identity before briefly hitting on their episode “fly-by” topics. In their drum topic- they talk about prioritizing drumming, or rather, prioritizing the right things with the time that is available to you. In their faith topic- the talk about the concept of treating others the way you want to be treated.

One of the things that separates a good performance from a great one is dynamic playing. It's more than just how loud or soft you play throughout sections of a song, but playing dynamically involves changes that keep the interest of the listener, even if they're small ones.This episode discusses some things that will help you play the drums more dynamically.DrumLessonsInLA.com

Childhood trauma, often referred to as ‘complex' or ‘developmental' trauma, is extremely common but is not often discussed in the context of our work as early childhood educators. And yet, children are showing up to our settings/programs every day carrying the weight of these circumstances and, according to research, a trajectory of negative health outcomes for the lifespan as a result. But Mary Hewitt shares with us that there is hope: early positive relationships and experiences with informed educators have the power to protect, buffer, and even reverse the devastating impacts of childhood trauma.   This episode is sponsored by Mangotree Kids. Mangotree Kids provides African drumming programs and inclusive toys and educational resources which promote the beauty of culture. Our main focus is enhancing the quality and diversity of products that represent Black children, ensuring they see themselves and their culture reflected in the toys they play with.   Our Jolly Djembe Club workshop introduces nursery children to the art of Djembe drumming in a fun and engaging way, and promotes wellbeing through our Rhythmic Meditation exercise. The program ends with a wonderful parents showcase. Mangotree Kids also provides a stress relief program called Beat the Stress for nursery staff.   To find out more visit: https://www.mangotreekids.com/     Read Mary's article here:  https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/understanding-the-impact-of-childhood-trauma-and-how-to-develop-trauma-informed-practices/   Our 2026 conference info & tickets: https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/early-years-conference-2026/   You might also like… -      Proactively promoting positive mental health by Matt Bawler – https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/proactively-promoting-positive-mental-health/ -      Self-regulation, co-regulation & mental health by Dr Mine Conkbayir – https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/self-regulation-co-regulation-and-mental-health/ -      ‘It's not time out, it's time in' for both of us: Co- and self-regulation by Julia Robinson & Charlotte Hannah – https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/its-not-time-out-its-time-in-for-both-of-us/ -      Understanding neuroscience in early childhood by Mandy Worsley – https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/understanding-neuroscience-in-early-childhood/   Share your voice: Do you have a topic or guest you would like to hear on the podcast?

Ben Atkind is back on the Pod on this final installment of my series of interviews from @northlands.live, and I couldn't be more psyched about this one!!  I caught up with Ben on the last day at the amazing Northlands Music & Arts Festival, and it's a fitting way to end what was a super fun weekend of insane jams, positive vibes and connecting with friends both new and old.Ben is a well-known and celebrated drummer and simply an awesome human whom I'm honored to call a friend. Ben attended Berklee College of Music and was the drummer in Goose, of which he is a founding member.  He has since left that band and moved on to new ventures, namely his new home with the stellar Louisville-based band @houseplantjams, along with his continued involvement in long-time project @elephantproof.Ben talks to me about the journey that has been his career to date, including his somewhat tumultuous departure from Goose, and how he has now found a place where he is truly happy, doing exactly what he wants to do, and most importantly, doing it with the people he loves.This is yet another epic interview from an equally epic festival weekend, and you're not going to want to miss this one!!  -----------------------------------Show Notes:For more information about Northlands Music & Arts Festival, click here Click here for Houseplant tour datesFollow Roadcase on Instagram here:  @Roadcasepod--------------------------------Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Road Case and Northlands Festival02:39 Ben Atkin: Journey from Goose to Houseplant05:36 The Life of a Touring Musician08:12 Transitioning to New Projects: Elephant Proof and Houseplant11:22 The Dynamics of Band Relationships14:17 Balancing Multiple Musical Endeavors16:57 The Joy of Live Performance18:50 Finding Happiness in Music22:05 The Evolution of Ben's Musical Style24:51 Plans for Houseplant and Future Tours27:38 Personal Growth and Industry Insights29:46 Reflections on Touring and Music Community32:47 Final Thoughts and Future Aspirations-------------------------------------For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Two great artists, one mediocre host - it's Talkin' Rock with Meltdown. I just realized I opened by saying this is "the final" episode of Talkin' Rock. That's because I'm on vacation next week. There will be more! Sometimes my brain doesn't work right when I'm staring down the barrel of 10 days off! Ok, here we go.... Up first, it's drumming legend, Vinny Appice. You can catch him live at Uncle Sam Jam on July 11th with his band, Sabbath Knights, which we discussed. We talk about his time in Black Sabbath and how it changed his life. I didn't know that he did a small tour with the original members, including Ozzy Osbourne. He told me why he's not involved in the Back To The Beginning concert taking place this weekend, as well as his thoughts on Ronnie James Dio not being in the Rock Hall. We also discussed the passing of Rick Deringer, Joel Hoakstra's project he plays on, the anniversary of the album Last In Line, and much more. Then, it's my first time talking with Jesse from Killswitch Engage, and we covered a lot of topics. From his birthday plans, the famous 80s rocker with whom he shares a birthday, to his love for 80s rock, and his musical influences. Jesse told me how his wife thought their latest single, "I Believe" was bound to be a hit. It carries a certain message, which all of their music does. We spoke about his voice-over work, an upcoming documentary he's in, and the summer tour - Summer of Loud. We wrapped up our conversation with some talk about the influence Ozzy and Black Sabbath played on him and music, as the last show takes place this Saturday, as well as his experience on tour with Iron Maiden. Enjoy!

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!

Jonny Cragg, professional therapist by day – and most of the time, actually – is also the drummer of the rock band, Spacehog. While the boys from Leeds scored a monster hit with "In The Meantime" in the mid '90s, they ultimately produced four critically-acclaimed albums from 1995 to 2013. Still, even MTV mega success can be fleeting, and while critics and fans understood Spacehog matched its larger-than-life spectacle with stellar musicianship, it was easy to incorrectly label the band a one-hit wonder. The group's future seemed unlikely until "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3" breathed new life into Spacehog, introducing its best-selling record to a new generation.In the meantime (pun intended), Cragg went on to become a licensed mental health professional, intensively trained in both Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. He operates his practice out of Oakland, California, offering concrete skills for clients who are not as comfortable with conventional talk therapy.But in Summer 2025, Cragg picked up his drumsticks once again for Spacehog's first tour in years, a short trip up and down the West Coast – and Andy Tarnoff took the opportunity to catch up with him in Portland, Oregon. The two have been friends and worked together at OnMilwaukee a decade ago – and a pre-show dinner made for a great excuse to record a Deep Dive podcast about the similarities, and obvious differences, between professional therapist and rock band drummer on the road.Video version here: https://youtu.be/bGDtbj2PJrshttps://spacehog.bandhttps://www.jonnycraggcounseling.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/joinChapters:00:00 A Surprising Comeback03:06 The Intersection of Music and Mental Health06:03 Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: A Creative Approach 09:00 Forgiveness and Acceptance in Music and Therapy 11:58 The Current State of the Music Industry 14:52 Future Possibilities for Spacehog

Composer Steve Reich is one of the most influential musicians of modern times. In the 1960s he helped rewrite the rules of composition, using analogue tape machines to experiment with rhythm, repetition and syncopation. As the godfather of musical minimalism, his influence on Philip Glass, David Bowie, Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, and many other composers, has been enormous. Countless dance music producers also owe a debt to pieces including It's Gonna Rain, Drumming, Different Trains and Music for 18 Musicians. His music has been performed in concert halls all around the world, and his many awards include three Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize, the Polar Prize for Music and the Premium Imperiale. Steve Reich tells John Wilson how, at the age of 14, three very different recordings awoke his interest in music: Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Bach's 5th Brandenburg Concerto, and a piece of bebop jazz featuring saxophonist Charlie Parker, trumpeter Miles Davis and drummer Kenny Clarke. Inspired to start a jazz quintet of his own, Reich began to study percussion before enrolling in a music history course at Cornell University. It was here he discovered the music of Pérotin, the 12th century French composer associated with the Notre Dame school of polyphony in Paris. His beautiful sustained harmonies had a profound influence on Reich's own compositions, including Four Organs (1970) and Music for 18 Musicians (1976).Steve Reich also explains the significance of two books on his music; Studies in African Music by A.M.Jones and Music in Bali by Colin McPhee, both of which led to a greater understanding of music from parts of the world where music is passed down aurally rather than through notation.Producer: Edwina Pitman Additional recording: Laura Pellicer

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.

Episode 79. Omar Hakim, Part 2! We're back with the drumming legend Omar Hakim and pick up right where we left off in Part 1. We start with the wild story of how he met Sting while recording Brothers In Arms with Dire Straits… ON AN ISLAND. This story blows my mind. From there, we continue through his career with Sting, Miles Davis, Madonna, and the crazy story of making the Daft Punk hit "Get Lucky." This episode is full of rare backstories, industry gems, and lessons in creativity and innovation. We talk about Omar being an early adopter of electronic and acoustic hybrid drum setups. As the drummer for Madonna in her stadium-filling heyday, Omar blended cutting-edge sampling, triggers, and MIDI controllers to deliver on recordings' impossible sounds in a live setting, building custom rigs and using expression pedals for real-time sound bending. This preceded today's standard in pop touring, marking him as a pioneer for the next generation of drummers. We also get into the business side of touring and recording and where Omar is at today. I hope you enjoy Part 2 of my conversation with the man, Omar Hakim! ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

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!

Episode 78: Omar Hakim. Today on the pod we've got one of the most recorded drummers of all time. The legendary Omar Hakim! We went deep for over 2 hours, and unlocked SO MUCH GOLD, so we're releasing this conversation in two parts. In Part 1, Omar shares the stories behind some of his most iconic recordings, including his legendary session with David Bowie on Let's Dance, his deep musical relationship with Nile Rodgers, and his time in Weather Report. We also get into the wild story of how he tracked the entire Dire Straits album "Brothers in Arms" (including the questions I've always had about Money for Nothing). With this interview, I hope you'll now understand how Omar became the legend he is today. I think your mind will be blown when you hear about the caliber of musicians that were around him since he was a kid! Part 2 drops next week.

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.

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.

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
