Send us a Text!Welcome Long Island, NY native Lou Vecchio to the podcast! Lou is currently the drummer for country artist Alexandra Kay and Danish-American rock band New Politics. In this episode, we learn of Lou's transition from New York's vibrant rock scene to Nashville's country music arena. Lou discusses his mindset during auditions that helped him land the gig with Alexandra , the impact of COVID-19 on his career, and his lifelong passion for drumming inspired by his father. Lou also sheds light on his admiration for performance-driven drummers like Tommy Lee, his versatile approach to music and genres, and the evolving importance of social media for modern musicians. We dive into his touring experience, what it's like recording and touring with the same band, drum gear and endorsements, and his love for tattoos and horror movies. We hope you enjoy!Chapters:00:00 Intro1:51 Welcome, Lou! 6:10 The Audition Process 7:56 Brooklyn to Nashville 11:35 Adapting to Country Music 19:39 Recording & Live Performance 21:00 The Importance of Versatility 22:54 Low Boy Beaters (Sponsor) 36:36 Drum Supply (Sponsor) 37:40 Early Musical Influences 39:48 Lou's Natural Talent 41:47 Navigating High School and Musical Identity 45:09 Hip Hop and Breakdancing 47:05 Discipline and Entertaining 51:54 Drum Box (Sponsor) 1:01:48 Sonique Drums (Sponsor) 1:02:45 Social Media for the Modern Musician 1:15:13 Music City Audiology (Sponsor) 1:17:57 First Arena Show at MSG 1:23:22 Drum Gear and Endorsements 1:32:10 Tattoos, Noodles, and Moment of Zen 1:44:15 OutroThank you to our Episode Sponsors:Low Boy Beatershttps://lowboybeaters.comDrum Supplyhttps://www.drumsupply.comDrum Boxhttps://drumbox.spaceSonique Drumshttps://soniquedrums.comMusic City Audiologyhttps://www.musiccityaudiology.comConnect with Lou:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lou_vecchioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lou_vecchioYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/illrock24Music Featured in this Episode:"Harlem" - New Politics"Just Like Me" - New Politics"More Than You" - Alexandra KayIntro Drum GrooveRecorded by Taylor Friesth at Garden Groove Studios in Nashville, TNhttp://www.garden-groove.comMixed by Jackson Maddox------Interview by: Dan Ainspan, Nathan SletnerRecorded May 2024 in Nashville, TNConnect with us:WebsiteInstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookRecorded at Garden Groove Recording Space, Nashville, TNPodcast Artwork: GENUINE CREATIVE ART ⓒ 2024 Nashville Drummers Podcast, LLC
