Welcome to Episode 211 of DRUM with Mike & Eddy! This week, we are looking back at the exact turning points that shaped our careers as professional drummers. We're skipping the "hustle culture" buzzwords and getting straight into the reality of what it actually takes to build a life around the kit.Here is what we get into this week:Grail Gear Guilt: Eddy scores a legendary pair of Joey Jordison sticks, and I break down why I couldn't resist dropping my own cash on a 1970s stop-sign badge Gretsch bop kit.The Return of NAMM: Why the drum industry is finally getting its pre-pandemic vibe back and the magic of experiencing gear in person.The Year That Changed Everything: We break down the specific years we had to go all-in. Eddy talks about his intense 2017–2018 transition, and I take it back to 2005–2006—late-night coding, the "two-shake rule" with Amber, and building a 99-cent online lesson site from the ground up.Staying Authentic: Why doubling down on real, honest connection is the only way forward in an AI-heavy world.Enjoy - Mike Jwww.mikeslessons.comSupport the show

Mountain Trails sits nestled on Winchester's Old Town walking mall at 115 North Loudoun Street, where owner Garry Green has cultivated something rare in retail: a store that feels like a community. After 34 years in business—the last 13 at this location—Garry has discovered what he calls "the Loudoun Street Magic," especially on Saturday evenings when the mall comes alive. He shares his passion during this episode of The Valley Today, with host Janet Michael and cohost Brady Cloven, executive director of Friends of Old Town. Mountain Trails' move from its original Cork Street location transformed the business entirely. "The demographic literally went from climbers, backpackers, and travelers to just everyone," Garry explains. The visibility proved phenomenal, and the store has become an integral part of Winchester's identity, appearing regularly in social media posts and drawing visitors from states away. Education Over Sales: A Revolutionary Approach What sets Mountain Trails apart isn't just their inventory—it's their philosophy. Garry's mission statement centers on creating "a safer, more enjoyable wilderness or travel experience," which means the staff focuses on qualifying customer needs rather than pushing products. "We are not here to sell things to you," Garry emphasizes. "We try to qualify your needs and provide for those needs." This approach resonates deeply in a business where equipment failures can have serious consequences. Whether customers are paddling the Shenandoah River for the first time or heading to Mount Everest base camp, their concerns receive equal validation. Garry recalls outfitting a gentleman for climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at nearly 20,000 feet. When the climber returned, he shared a remarkable moment: "I was at 16,000 feet and I heard you talking to me." The boots and backpack performed exactly as Garry had promised—the ultimate validation for the staff. Curating the Right Gear for Every Adventure Every single item in Mountain Trails serves a purpose. "Everything in Mountain Trails other than, let's just say a t-shirt, needs to function," Garry explains. "It has a job. And it needs to do that when you need it to do it." From rain gear to sock structure—yes, even socks matter—the curation process ensures customers receive appropriate equipment for their specific adventures. The store's tagline captures this breadth: "hiking, climbing, trekking, travel." However, their secondary motto, "Quality Outdoor Outfitters," opens the door wider. International travelers heading to Peru or around the world find the education and experience they need. Summer canoeists discover dry bags and quick-drying clothing. Skiers find bibs and cross-country equipment. Technical rock climbers locate harnesses and safety gear. Meeting Customers Where They Are Understanding the customer's experience level proves crucial to Garry's approach. The outdoor industry's biggest emerging demographic is what he calls "the casual adventurer"—people who want to hike two miles to a waterfall with trail runners, trekking poles, and a day pack, then return to town for lunch. These customers have vastly different needs from long-distance trekkers carrying their "house on their back" for multiple days. "Not everybody needs a $400 three-layer Gore-Tex rain jacket," Garry points out. While climbers heading to Mount Everest might need that level of protection, an $80 waterproof jacket works perfectly for someone's golf bag. This honesty builds trust. Moreover, the relationship continues as customers grow in their outdoor pursuits, returning to upgrade their gear as they tackle more challenging adventures. The Power of Kindness and Experience When hiring staff, Garry's number one criterion isn't outdoor expertise—it's kindness. "You have to put that customer's best interest at heart above anything else," he insists. This philosophy creates what international visitors have called "the feel" of Mountain Trails, something that distinguishes it from sterile big-box retailers. The staff's personal experience matters tremendously. "They've been wet, cold, hungry, tired," Garry notes. "They're here to help you suffer better." Garry himself spent years guiding in Alaska and running outdoor adventure programs for the U.S. Air Force, helping service members decompress after deployment. He recalls a winter camping trip where a participant thought she wouldn't survive the night because her "butt was cold"—she hadn't inflated her sleeping pad. After inflating it and adding hand warmers, she proclaimed he'd saved her life. "You passed through a window," he told her, referring to those challenging moments all outdoor enthusiasts eventually face. Beyond the Hardcore: Everyday Customers Welcome While Mountain Trails caters to serious adventurers, everyday shoppers find unexpected value. Janet shares how the store helps her buy gifts for her mother-in-law who bikes the C&O Canal—despite Janet's self-proclaimed lack of outdoor interests. "I can come in here and just say, she does this and you can help me find the perfect gift for her," she explains. The store even welcomes those who simply want to look the part. "I love this store even though I am not an outdoors person," Janet admits. Garry laughs, acknowledging that sometimes "it's all about the look." This inclusive approach means everyone feels welcome, whether they're heading into the wilderness or just want quality gear for weekend activities. A Global Reputation Built on Local Service The store's reputation extends far beyond Winchester. Visitors from Syracuse, Cleveland, and even international locations make Mountain Trails a regular stop. Garry recalls a family from Israel who declared it their favorite outdoor store globally. "We go into these stores all over the world, and this one is our favorite so far," they told him. What impressed them? The feel of the place—something intangible that staff members hear about regularly. This atmosphere stems from Garry's operating principle: "Everybody's welcome until they're not." The staff genuinely cares, creating an environment that feels more like a community gathering space than a transaction-focused retail outlet. Social media serves not primarily as a sales tool but as "an instrument of familiarity," sharing articles about climbing, skiing, and outdoor adventures that customers want to read over their morning coffee. Connecting with Mountain Trails In mid-March, Mountain Trails will transition from their winter hours into regular hours: Monday through Thursday 10 AM to 7 PM, Fridays and Saturdays 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sundays noon to 5 PM. Customers can find them on Facebook and Instagram or visit mountain-trails.com for basic information, though the real experience requires stepping through their door on the walking mall. Old Town Winchester: Building Community Through Events Chocolate Escape Perseveres Through Arctic Conditions The second half of the conversation shifts focus to Brady Claven, executive director of Friends of Old Town Winchester, who shares updates on recent events and upcoming attractions. February's Chocolate Escape faced brutal weather—17-degree temperatures with windchill predictions of negative 10 degrees—yet determined participants still filled the walking mall with their maps, hitting every participating location. Approximately 30 merchants participated in the event, which aims not just to distribute chocolate but to drive foot traffic into stores during cold months. The strategy worked. Faire Isles, for instance, welcomed numerous first-time visitors, and overall feedback indicated people discovered stores they'd never visited before. "The point of it is to get people into stores," Brady explains, noting that participants might not linger outside as long in freezing weather, but they spent more time browsing inside. Celebrating Black History Month Through Partnership Friends of Old Town partnered with NAACP Winchester and secured generous sponsorship from Valley Health to present three Black History Month events. Typewriter Studio hosted a spoken word and art gallery night featuring Monica James and representatives from Selah Theater. Bright Box presented "History and Cocktails" with Nick Powers from the MSV delivering an outstanding historical talk about the Valley's Black history, tying into the upcoming VA250 celebration. Finally, Bistro Sojo offered a small plates and jazz night with a $35-per-person special menu and live performance by SU. Spin to Winchester: Pedaling for Progress Friends of Old Town's second annual Spin to Winchester fundraiser brought participants together inside Valley Health for a 45-minute stationary bike class. Each rider crowd-funded their participation, raising a minimum of $250, with prizes awarded for most funds raised, sweatiest rider, and highest mileage. The event exceeded expectations, hitting 120% of its goal and attracting 20 more individual donors than the previous year. "It's very apparent by the end of this 45-minute class, certain people are, myself included, just dripping with sweat," Brady admits, describing the intense workout led by instructor Pam from Valley Health. Despite the physical challenge—including what seemed like endless "last hills"—the fundraiser's success directly supports Old Town programs and events throughout the year. Taylor Pavilion: A Transformation Underway Ground has broken on the Taylor Pavilion renovation, with completion targeted for before WineFest during Apple Blossom season. The transformation will create a social gathering space that addresses a common community need. "We do hear a lot from people that say, well, you know, there's really not a space if I don't wanna drink or if I don't want to eat," Brady notes. The new pavilion will offer a place where people can grab a bagel and sit, play chess, listen to music, or simply enjoy being on the mall. It will serve as a meeting point before art classes at Typewriter Studio or ShenArts—a place for friends to gather with coffee and catch up before heading to other destinations. Notably, the infamous "ping pong table on an incline" from the conceptual rendering will not materialize, though Brady jokes they should install a commemorative statue. Celtic Fest Returns March 14th Looking ahead to March, Celtic Fest promises to be a highlight. Scheduled for Saturday, March 14th from noon to 5 PM, the event will feature approximately 35 vendors lining the mall from the south end near Hideaway northward. Partners include Ravenwood Foundation, which brings expertise in outdoor Highland games. City Pipes and Drums will perform throughout the day. Faire Isles plans Irish dancers in their alcove, while other merchants prepare special attractions. Piper Dan's and Union Jack's—recently reopened after flooding—will participate, with Brady hoping to coordinate a special menu. Additionally, Brady plans to transform the museum lawn into a kids' Highland games zone, where children ages four to ten can throw foam logs, compete in disc throwing, and win prizes. Staying Connected Those interested in Old Town Winchester events can follow Friends of Old Town on Facebook and Instagram (@FriendsOfOldTownWINC) or visit friendsofoldtown.org for a complete calendar. First Friday events return in June with a "Summer of Covers" theme featuring cover bands, including a special August event partnering with River House. A Community That Cares Whether discussing Mountain Trails' dedication to customer safety and satisfaction or Friends of Old Town's commitment to creating community experiences, this conversation reveals Winchester's character: a city where businesses and organizations prioritize people over profit, relationships over transactions, and community over convenience. From outdoor gear to outdoor festivals, the message remains consistent—everyone's welcome, expertise matters, and kindness forms the foundation of everything worthwhile.

Bird on AmericanaFest, Accidental Filmmaking, and Storytelling Through Music | Curious Goldfish PodcastHost Jason English welcomes Janie, who performs as Bird, to the Curious Goldfish Podcast in Nashville during AmericanaFest. Bird, half Irish and half English, grew up in London, is based in Italy, and is increasingly working in the U.S. after receiving an O-1 visa. She discusses Irish storytelling roots, her classical cello training from age six, learning drums at 11, and influences ranging from Jacqueline du Pré to Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan that shaped her Americana sound. Bird explains the origin of her stage name, her “accidental filmmaker” path after a cinematic album stalled during COVID, and her short films “Wider Than the Sky” and “You Found a Friend in Elvis,” inspired by a Roy Orbison story. She outlines festival strategy, upcoming full-length film plans, two EPs (“Heads or Tales” and “Strange as Folk”) and a vinyl release, touring via Café Nero, and performs “The Tides” solo on cello for the first time.00:00 Irish Storytelling Roots00:55 Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro02:56 Meeting at AmericanaFest03:35 AmericanaFest Buzz and US Plans04:44 Why the Name Bird07:22 Accidental Filmmaker Origin09:12 Elvis and Roy Orbison Mystery11:15 Festival Strategy and No Money12:45 Third Film Tease and Timeline14:13 Back to Music Classical Beginnings15:13 Drums and Rock Influences15:56 Irish Storytelling Roots17:24 Albums and Genre Evolution17:52 Heads or Tales EP18:28 Why Two EPs19:17 Folk Horror Inspiration21:17 Lockdown Demos in Italy22:27 Touring and Future Plans25:19 Curiosity and Connection27:58 The Tides Closing Song

Jordan and Marc dive, lovingly, into some more gems from the short-lived but mighty Arthur Davis unit, including a standard gag rollout tinged with intriguing ideas in Bone Sweet Bone, a Porky short that divided both hosts in The Pest Who Came to Dinner, and an undeniable classic in Holiday for Drumsticks. In talks of fluid animation, wild motion and surprising continuity, we wind up crafting some of the wildest bits in TNQAF history. Perhaps it's just the effect the Davis unit has on people.Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

Welcome back to Artbeat Radio! In this very special episode, we share all about Remo! When we first opened our new Long Beach location of our day program, we knew we needed to fill the space with instruments, so we gave Remo a call! Nancy and Brian were live on the scene and took footage of this day. About a year later, Doug spoke with Robert Shen, President of Remo, and later, Bailey Chapman, a drummer who uses Remo on tour. This episode is packed with all the drumming content you didn't know you needed. Thanks for listening and tune in next time!

Hello! Hidden drum machine field recordings. Hidden Drum Machines .... are hidden! ... drum machines!
In this episode, we get into what it really takes to prepare to record, and why “jamming to a song” and tracking a song for an artist are two totally different worlds. Eddy shares how he practices and preps parts (often without writing anything down), why e-kits can be a secret weapon for learning technical material, and how to identify the non-negotiables in a drum part when a demo already has programmed drums.We also talk about fighting muscle memory, why simple pop parts can be harder than complex chops, the “less is more” mindset, listening back with ruthless honesty, and the ultimate litmus test: did your drumming make the song better, or did it pull the listener out of it? Plus: the courage to “dare to suck” during the process… because that's where the magic shows up.Enjoy - Mike JSupport the show
In this episode, I'm joined by Simon Oslender, and I'm not exaggerating when I say his playing lit me up the first time I heard it: pure joy, but with real depth underneath. We talk about growing up in a deeply musical home, starting on drums, and the exact “big bang” moment when a John Mayall live DVD (and Tom Canning on Hammond B3) made Simon lock in on the organ for life.We get into Simon's early recording experiments, how he writes (often away from the instrument, grabbing voice memos before ideas disappear), and his relationship with theory—especially his favorite framing: theory shouldn't tell you what to do, it should explain what you're hearing. And then we go deep on the dream-team reality of All That Matters: recording with Steve Gadd and Will Lee and how that session turned into a tour, and what it takes to keep your head straight when your heroes show up fully prepared to play your music.Music from the Episode:On a Roll (Simon Oslender)In Good Hands (Simon Oslender)Cruisin' (Simon Oslender)Quite Logical (Simon Oslender)Thank you for listening.

Hello and welcome to our first official We Will Rank You rerun. You may have noticed that we've had to reupload some old episodes recently that were mistakenly taken down for copyright reasons. I looked at our analytics for the first time in ages and noticed that we had the biggest month we've ever had just because of one extra old episode I'd put back up. I mean, I'm already slowly putting up all of the old episodes on Youtube with fun visuals. I guess I can put up an oldie here too.Jim chose the first one to bring back and he picked episode seven on the self-titled debut of the Stone Roses from 2021. He chose to rank each song in the order that they're on the album, which we only did one other time, for Blur's Parklife, before the others agreed that it was anticlimactic when we named our favorite song in the first few minutes. I told ya. At an hour and 57 minutes, it was our longest episode to date but a couple of episodes later, Sinead passed it by one minute and eventually our 1983 wildcard episode was our longest at nearly three hours. For years, this was our most listened to episode until it was recently taken over by our Wildcard Live Album show.Jim writes: "The hosts agree (I think) that this is the group's favorite album they've ever ranked. I maintain my album picks are the best. No one comes close." He's not right about his picks being the best but this episode probably is in a very close race with Violent Femmes for our biggest surefire lovefest, except for, spoiler alert, Dan's take on Adored, which became an oft-repeated anecdote. Here it tis.Jim's lemony-fresh pick is by FAR the album that the four of us have all loved the most. That combined with Adam being the singer for a ridiculous Stone Roses coverband means that there was a LOT for us to say, resulting in our longest episode yet. However, it's a FUN one. For fans of podcasts that go track-by-track instead of our usual countdown, today is your lucky day for a special episode on this 1989 classic.

Is Steely Dan's Gaucho more perfect than Aja? Maybe even ... too perfect? Two years in the studio. The greatest session musicians alive asked to play take after take after take until it was exactly right. And sometimes that STILL wasn't enough for Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.On today's episode of You'll Hear It, jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness are breaking down the 1980 album track by track: the jazz harmony hiding inside those smooth grooves, the abstract poetry of the lyrics, and the insane stories behind how this thing got made. Including the $150,000 drum machine invented specifically for this record, the interview quote that cost them a third of a song, and the drum track that took 85 takes and 35 tape edits to piece together.And after all that, we didn't get another Steely Dan record for 20 years.Was it worth it?Read about the simple mistake that would haunt Steely Dan for 44 years in this week's edition of the You'll Read It newsletter: https://youllhearit.com/newsletterWatch our FULL breakdown of Steely Dan's Aja: https://youtu.be/G10mYohR6T400:00 - Steely Dan's Gaucho: A Monument to Perfect01:15 - "Babylon Sisters"11:00 - What Makes Steely Dan Genius13:35 - The Precision of Purdie's Drums on Babylon Sisters16:10 - Abstract Lyrics19:35 - "Hey Nineteen"22:25 - Pristine Rhodes25:25 - Isolated Vocal Stems on "Hey Nineteen"33:00 - "Glamour Profession"38:55 - The Mingus Influence40:10 - "Gaucho"43:20 - The Keith Jarrett Lawsuit48:50 - Gaucho Chorus Deep Dive54:10 - "Time Out Of Mind"57:50 - Monument to Perfectionism (Lead Boots)1:01:35 - Perfectionism and Jazz1:05:05 - Is Gaucho More Perfect Than Aja?1:06:25 - "My Rival"1:10:40 - Bowie / Steely Dan Side-By-Side1:14:00 - Too Fussy?1:19:05 - Open Studio Plays "Glamour Profession"
Jazzdrum‑Playlist (Volgorde: van vroeg → modern) 1. Gene Krupa – “Sing, Sing, Sing” (Benny Goodman, 1937) De oerdonder van de swingdrums—Krupa maakt de toms en jungle‑feel wereldberoemd. 2. Baby Dodds – “Spooky Drums” (1946) Een solo-opname die laat horen hoe vroeg-jazzdrummers kleur, ritme en improvisatie benaderden. 3. Max Roach – “Cherokee” (met Charlie Parker, 1945) Razendsnelle bebop en totaal vernieuwend ride‑cymbalspel. 4. Art Blakey – “Moanin'” (1958) Blakey's “press roll thunder” en soulvolle drive: hét hard‑bop geluid. 5. Philly Joe Jones – “Two Bass Hit” (Miles Davis, 1958) Super strakke rudiments, dynamische fills, en meesterlijke controle. 6. Elvin Jones – “A Love Supreme: Pt II – Resolution” (John Coltrane, 1965) Golvende, spirituele storm aan polyritmiek. Volgens kenners één van de meest invloedrijke drumopnames ooit. 7. Tony Williams – “Seven Steps to Heaven” (Miles Davis, 1963) Williams was 17 (!) en revolutionair in drive, vrijheid en cymbal‑articulatie. 8. Roy Haynes – “Snap Crackle” (1962) Zijn bijna elektronische “snap & crackle” stijl komt hier volledig tot recht. 9. Billy Cobham – “Stratus” (1973) Kracht, snelheid, precisie: Cobham zet een nieuwe standaard voor fusiondrums. 10. Steve Gadd – Intro van 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover 11. Steve Gadd – “Foam Home” (Steve Gadd Band – 70-Strong, 2015) Legendarische precisie, frasevorming en groove—drummer's favorite. 12. Peter Weissink – Up Jumped Spring (Keys and Beats – 2024) Als toetje: de ‘huisdrummer’ en organisator van de Tor-JazzJamsessions: Peter Weissink en zijn muzikale companen John Hondorp en Sebatian Altekamp op hammond en piano. Drums en slagwerk vormen de ritmische motor van jazz. Van de vroege “trap sets” in New Orleans tot de complexe metriek van het modern jazz‑drummen: elke periode bracht nieuwe technieken, geluiden en muzikale rollen. 1. Vroege jazz & New Orleans (1900–1920) De moderne drumkit ontstond in New Orleans toen slagwerkers verschillende percussie-instrumenten combineerden tot één set (o.a. bass drum, snare en bekkens). Kenmerken Tweeledige rol: ritme én kleur Veel marching band‑invloeden Gebruik van vroege “rudiments” en eenvoudige ritmiek Belangrijke drummers Baby Dodds — pionier van het improvisatorische drumwerk Zutty Singleton — populair door zijn werk met Louis Armstrong 2. Swing Era & Big Bands (1930–1940) Met de opkomst van bigbands werd de drummer een tijd-keeper die de dansbare “swing feel” moest dragen. Kenmerken Focus op steady hi-hat en basdrum Grote orkesten → meer kracht en consistentie nodig Drumsoli worden een showelement Belangrijke drummers Gene Krupa — maakte de tom-toms beroemd, enorme showman Chick Webb — krachtig, invloedrijk swingdrummer Jo Jones — verplaatste de “time” van basdrum naar ride-bekken, een mijlpaal 3. Bebop (jaren 40) Bebop zette de drummer in een interactieve, minder voorspelbare rol. De muziek werd sneller, complexer en meer op improvisatie gericht. Kenmerken Ride-cymbal wordt het hoofdritme-instrument “Dropping bombs”: accenten op de basdrum Veel vrijheid en communicatie met solisten Belangrijke drummers Kenny Clarke — grondlegger van moderne bebop-drums Max Roach — melodisch drummen, polyritmiek Art Blakey — dynamisch en krachtig, bekend van Jazz Messengers 4. Hard Bop & Soul Jazz (jaren 50–60) De groove werd zwaarder en aardser, beïnvloed door gospel en blues. Kenmerken Sterkere backbeat Meer emotionele spanning Interactie met blazers en piano Belangrijke drummers Art Blakey (opnieuw) — echte hard bop‑architect Philly Joe Jones — strak, fel, met prachtige rudimental frases Elvin Jones — revolutionaire, golvende “drum‑storm” rond Coltrane 5. Modal Jazz en Post-Bop (jaren 60) De ritmische vrijheid neemt toe; drummers bewegen zich losser rond de beat. Kenmerken Minder voorspelbare patronen Veel gebruik van textuur en ruimte Accent verschuift van swing naar flow en kleur Belangrijke drummers Tony Williams — enorm vernieuwend op jonge leeftijd, bij Miles Davis Jack DeJohnette — lyrisch, open, breed geluid Roy Haynes — “snap, crackle”, lichte en springerige stijl 6. Jazz Fusion (jaren 70) Elektrische instrumenten en rockinvloeden brengen nieuwe energie. Kenmerken Krachtiger spel, rock‑dynamiek Complexe maatsoorten Gebruik van elektronische drums en percussie Belangrijke drummers Billy Cobham — stormachtig, technisch extreem sterk Lenny White — pionier bij Return to Forever Harvey Mason — funk‑jazz, strakke groove 7. Contemporary Jazz (jaren 80–heden) Hedendaagse drummers mengen jazz met wereldmuziek, hip-hop, elektronica, en nog veel meer.

Eveen the Eviscerator is skilled, discreet, professional, and here for your most pressing needs in the ancient city of Tal Abisi. Her guild is strong, her blades are sharp, and her rules are simple. Those sworn to the Matron of Assassins—resurrected from death and wiped of their memories—have only three unbreakable vows.First, the contract must be just. Second, even the most powerful assassin may only kill the contracted. The third and the simplest: once you accept a job, you must carry it out. And if you stray? There's hell to pay--literally. When the Festival of the Clockwork King turns the city upside down, Eveen's newest mission brings her face-to-face with a past she isn't supposed to remember and a vow she can't forget.In this reading, we meet the undead assassin Eveen as she readies to set out on a job. Gliding high above Tal Abisi from rooftop to rooftop, she surveys the night Festival of the Clockwork King--where careful readers will catch glimpses of a mashup of New Orleans Mardi Gras, Carriacou Shakespeare Mas, Trinidad Canboulay, allusions to Lord Blakie's "Steelband Clash"--and more. Phenderson Djéli Clark is the award-winning and Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Sturgeon nominated author of the Abeni's Song series and A Master of Djinn, and the novellas The Dead Cat Tail Assassins, Ring Shout, The Black God's Drums, and The Haunting of Tram Car 015.

In 2016, Les Claypool had some time away from Primus and invited Sean Lennon to Rancho Relaxo; Sean had guested on some Primus encores during their 2015 summer tour and jammed backstage with Les, where a connection was born. They fished, drank pinot, discussed nuggets from newspapers and periodicals, in the process birthing The Claypool Lennon Delirium. We get into the details of how these two got together and give an album overview of Monolith of Phobos, a proggy/psychedelic album name if there ever was one.

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.

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.

Drummer Michael Shrieve's story reads like a rock-and-roll fairy tale — the kind of musical journey that blends youthful serendipity with restless creativity, and a lifelong appetite for pushing boundaries. Before he was a name on Santana's classic albums or a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, he was a kid with sticks and big dreams.Born in California, Shrieve grew up deeply drawn to music. As a teenager he played in his first serious band and gigged around backing rhythm and blues acts — even sitting in with seasoned performers like B.B. King and Etta James.At just 16, a pivotal moment came when he sat in during a jam at San Francisco's famed Fillmore Auditorium. His playing caught someone's ear — Santana's manager Stan Marcum — setting the stage for his astonishing ascent.At 19, Shrieve met Carlos Santana in a studio and was invited to join the band on the spot. It was a leap that would change his life. Almost immediately after joining, Shrieve found himself at the center of one of rock's defining moments: Santana's performance at Woodstock in August 1969. Barely 20 years old, his explosive drum solo on “Soul Sacrifice” became one of the enduring visual and sonic highlights of the event's documentary.Between '69 and '74, Shrieve played on Santana's first seven albums: Santana (1969), Abraxas (1970), Santana III (1971), Caravanserai (1972), Welcome (1973) and Borboletta (1974), plus the live album Lotus (1974).He wasn't just a timekeeper. On Caravanserai he co-produced and co-wrote four tracks, helping guide the band into more experimental, jazz-infused territory. His work helped broaden the possibilities of rock percussion, drawing on influences from jazz greats and Latin rhythms alike.By the mid-'70s, Shrieve was ready to expand his musical palette beyond Santana. He left the band to pursue solo projects and relocated to London. One of his first ventures was Automatic Man , a group that blended rock with progressive and funk elements. He then joined the avant-garde fusion supergroup Go, alongside formidable musicians like Steve Winwood, Stomu Yamashta, Klaus Schulze and Al Di Meola. The band released multiple albums and toured, diving deep into jazz, electronic and world music textures.Throughout the late '70s and '80s Shrieve stayed busy, playing with Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve (with Neal Schon and Sammy Hagar) and contributing to albums by artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones (Emotional Rescue, 1980) and Roger Hodgson of Supertramp. He also collaborated on Richard Wahnfried projects with electronic composer Klaus Schulze and recorded his own electronic music.After leaving Santana, Shrieve didn't slow down — he reinvented himself again and again. Beyond rock and fusion bands, he became a composer and session player whose credits include work with Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Pete Townshend, Andy Summers, Jaco Pastorius and many others.He also ventured into film music, composing scores for movies including Tempest and Apollo 13, and continued collaborations with musicians across genres.In 1997 he reunited with former Santana members — Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, José Areas and Michael Carabello — in Abraxas Pool, a project that revisited and re-imagined elements of the classic Santana sound.Shrieve's contributions were formally recognized when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for his work with Santana, and later honored with Guitar Center's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. He's also been cited by Rolling Stone as one of rock's greatest drummers.In 2016, he briefly reunited with the original Santana lineup for the album Santana IV, again marking his deep connection to the music that made his name.Today, Michael Shrieve remains a vibrant artist. His band Spellbinder, blends jazz and improvisatory rock; he works on ambitious solo projects like Drums of Compassion; and continues to collaborate with forward-thinking musicians across genres.Michael joins us today to share his story.

Episode 100 of The Bandwich Tapes marks a meaningful milestone, not just in numbers, but in intention.What began as a simple idea, having thoughtful conversations with musicians I admire, has grown into a space for deep listening, reflection, and curiosity. Reaching one hundred episodes felt like a moment to pause, look back, and express gratitude to everyone who has chosen to spend time with this show.For this milestone episode, I'm honored to share a conversation with Dame Evelyn Glennie.Dame Evelyn Glennie is one of the most influential and inspiring musicians of our time. A world-renowned percussionist, composer, and advocate for listening, her work has reshaped how many of us understand sound, awareness, and musical perception. Her artistry extends far beyond performance; it invites us to reconsider what it truly means to listen.In this conversation, we explore Evelyn's approach to listening as a full-body experience, the philosophy that guides her musical life, and the curiosity that continues to drive her work. It's a discussion about sound, silence, intention, and the responsibility that comes with being deeply attentive to music, to others, and to the world around us.Sharing this interview as episode one hundred is a privilege, and one I'll carry with me for a long time.Thank you for listening, for supporting the show, and for being part of this journey.Episode 100 drops January 19, 2026.
Happy Monday, EVERYONE! This week, Eddy and I are geeking out on one of our favorite topics: drum fills. But we aren't just talking about the fastest or choppiest fills; we're talking about the ones that involve PRO-level choices. We break down some absolute genius moments from Aaron Sterling, The RH Factor, Paramore, and Mark Guiliana to figure out exactly why those specific choices elevated the music so perfectly.We also decided to put ourselves in the hot seat. We each brought in a track from our own discographies. Eddy with a Busted track and me with a vintage Simon Says track, to analyze our own decision-making processes in the studio. We realized that whether it's a simple snare hit or a complex linear chop, the best drum fills are rarely about the drumming; they're about the choices. Hope you guys enjoy this deep dive!Enjoy - Mike JSupport the show
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.

We continue our Doctor Who re-watch by discussing Series 3's final three episodes in our 17th Deja Brew podcast all whilst I attempt to make this description seem less tortured from the last one. Firstly, in “Utopia”, Captain Jack's return is overshadowed by the return of the Master. Think of the Master as the Tweety Bird to the Doctor's Puddy Tat. Or is that the other way around? Nextly, “The Sound of Drums” finds the newly regenerated Master elected as evil Prime Minister. Harriet Jones must be rolling in her grave. Wait? She's not dead... yet? Lastly “Last of the Time Lords” has Martha traveling the globe to save the Doctor's ass. She then f's off afterwards because she finally got sick of being the rebound companion. A sincere “Thank You” to an underappreciated companion from the Drunktor Whovians.

Every year, Eddy and I do a Christmas episode, but this one turned into something way bigger than we expected. We ended up going deep on what we're calling our grail gear. The sticks, cymbals, snares, and full drum kits that shaped us, inspired us, and flat-out made us fall in love with the drums in the first place. From Joey Jordison's blood-red sticks and Dave Weckl hero worship, to wild discontinued cymbals, one-of-a-kind snares, and the drum kits that literally made us want to play, this episode is pure nostalgia mixed with real perspective on how gear influences creativity.Along the way, we talk about why change feels uncomfortable (even when it's good), how our brains resist new ideas, and why, when it's healthy, obsession often pushes us to practice more, play more, and grow. This episode is for anyone who remembers staring at drum catalogs, trusting the drum shop guy, saving every dollar, and dreaming big. It's a Christmas special, a gear episode, and a reminder of why we started doing this in the first place. A Merry Happy Christmas to you all - Mike JSupport the show

This week's Deadpod brings us the second set from the band's performance in Long Beach California on December 14, 1980. This is a fine high-energy set, punctuated by guest appearances by Fora Purim, Airto and Matthew Kelly but full of outstanding renditions of some classic numbers. I am always pleasantly surprised when I get a 'Must Have Been the Roses' and really enjoy this one. This is followed by a screaming 'Estimated Prophet'. This leads into the heart of the set, a great 'Wheel' going into an amazing Drums/Space then flowing into a otherwordly 'Other One'. This combination is really special. This leads into an emotional 'Stella Blue' then the boys ramp it up again with the rocking set closing 'Around and Around' into 'Good Lovin' .. a 'Brokedown Palace' is a perfect encore after this musical performance..
