(This was previously recorded as a live stream, which can be found on our Facebook page, X account, or YouTube channel.) Watch Jeff talk about another nonsense poll that recently came out for the governor's race, the travel scandal involving Anchorage Assembly member George Martinez, and an update on what is happening with the special session on the gasline.

On this Tuesday, a man is dead following an officer-involved shooting early Tuesday morning in Fairbanks. East Anchorage Assembly member George Martinez is at the center of two resolutions, one calling for his censure, the other calling for an investigation and possible removal. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche is largely dismissing a letter from more than 1,200 former Department of Justice employees who say he has created a “culture of fear” inside the DOJ — making that case in person, in Alaska.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. I'm Ben Hilzinger, and this is another segment of The Drum Panel. Joining me: Jessica Burdeaux (@jburdsbeats) Touring drummer (Covet, City Mouth) and content creator balancing real-world gigs with online presence. George Martinez (@skinnygeorge) Former full-time studio drummer turned educator, content creator, and all-around thoughtful voice on longevity. In this episode: “It's complicated” — how your relationship with drums changes over time The weird shift from loving music more than drumming itself Why chasing constant growth can actually burn you out Letting students (or bandmates) make their own mistakes The difference between chaos on tour vs. stability later in life Content creation vs. real life: what actually matters The pressure of the algorithm and why it messes with your head Posting what you should vs. posting what's actually real Why documenting your own growth beats chasing views The moment Instagram stopped making sense for everyone Touring, playing live, and why that still beats the internet The balance between being a musician and being a human Saying no to gigs, content, or work that drains you Why stepping away actually makes you better when you come back The quiet insecurity of band feedback (trash can endings, anyone?) Being your own worst critic… and why that never really goes away What each of us is secretly proud of in our playing right now Groove, touch, and making simple parts feel really good Being easy to work with vs. being flashy Why feel, energy, and stage presence still get you hired --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week's Drum Panel features me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside George Martinez (aka @skinnygeorge) and Eric Urrea from Marina City. We talk honestly about rejection, identity, and what actually gets built in the moments when things don't go your way. In this episode, we talk about: Rejection as a mirror, not a verdict, and how quickly one “no” can distort your self-image The danger of ruminating on tiny moments, and how over-analyzing the past steals energy from the present Why authenticity matters more than perfection, and how trying to manage how others see you leads to bad fits The hidden value of “failed” prep, and how deep study always compounds even when the gig disappears The emotional difference between ego pain and income fear, and how each one shapes your reactions Balancing confidence and self-doubt, and why artists need both to stay sharp and grounded How unclear communication creates unnecessary emotional weight, and what that reveals about professional culture Why creative freedom often shows up disguised as disappointment New Year's intentions around health, connection, communication, and long-term sustainability Letting go of shame around how you work, and learning to build systems that actually fit you --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. Happy New Year. This week's Drum Panel features me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside George Martinez (aka @skinnygeorge) and Eric Urrea from Marina City. In this episode, we talk about: Burnout as a signal, not a failure, and how to tell when you actually need to step back The success trap of linking worth to being busy, and how scarcity thinking keeps you stuck Dependability, kindness, and the invisible parts of your reputation that shape your career Grace under pressure, and what tech failures and bad shows reveal about who you are on stage Confidence without arrogance, and how to take your craft seriously without taking yourself too seriously --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Anchorage Assembly Member George Martinez was raised in Brooklyn, NY, as part of the hip hop community and made a name for himself as a rapper and lyricist at an early age. Growing up in the 80s,he was politicized by the anti-welfare rhetoric of President Reagan's administration. That experience eventually led him to run for political office, and he was elected as the district leader in the 51st Assembly District in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, in 2002 making him the first hip-hop artist elected to political office in New York. He is a former adjunct professor at Pace University where he taught American politics and his own self-developed course, “The politics of hip hop.” In 2007, he served as cultural ambassador for the US state department in the Western Hemisphere under secretary of state at the time Colin Powell. We talk about how he and his family got to Anchorage, his 4 years serving in Ethan Berkowitz's Mayoral administration, and his experience now on the Anchorage Assembly after being elected for the first time this past spring.

Municipality of Anchorage's new Emergency Order (EO) 18 and affects on local small businesses, particularly in the hospitality and fitness areas. https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2021/01/28/anchorages-acting-mayor-expected-to-announce-eo-18-thursday/Caller Mark from East Anchorage reminded that beyond the mayoral frontrunners of Dunbar, Robbins, Evans, Bronson, and Falsey, George Martinez also filed (Martinez is a program director for the Alaska Humanities Forum and former special assistant for former Mayor Ethan Berkowitz).Adam Holz from Focus on the Family with his movie and streaming service reviews. https://www.pluggedin.com/John and Sandy Powers of Alaska Charitable Gaming Alliance respond to Governor Mike Dunleavy's State-of-the-State announcement last night that he wants new statewide gambling (presumably casinos, online gambling, and sports betting). The Powers said ACGA and most of its members, which are non-profits receiving charitable gaming proceeds, vehemently oppose new gambling and any casinos in Alaska. A gaming company likely tied to Eklutna's effort to start a casino near Birchwood (part of Anchorage) has hired a $72,000 state lobbyist and Sandy Powers discussed the presumed connection to the recent Anchorage Assembly's passage of sovereignty/governance recognition to Eklutna and how that effort and a casino push are likely linked.
