In 2018, Mariana Ramirez walked into the pit at Once On This Island as a sub and made history. She became the first female Mexican percussionist to ever perform on a Broadway show.Nobody handed her that moment. She built it.I first published this conversation in March of 2022, and it remains one of my favorites. Most of you weren't subscribed back then, so I'm bringing it back — the story is too good to leave in the archive.Who is Mariana Ramirez?Mariana is an NYC-based freelance percussionist who began her music studies at the National Conservatory of Mexico in Mexico City before earning her Bachelor of Music in Percussion at Rutgers University.That first Broadway sub gig at Once On This Island opened doors. She went on to sub Head Over Heels and Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, then hit the road holding the drums/percussion chair on the Once On This Island national tour. Off-Broadway, her credits include Merrily We Roll Along and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, among many others. Today, she is one of just two female Mexican drummer/percussionists performing on Broadway.But her career stretches far beyond the pit.She has performed across Europe, Asia, and Mexico with Mexican traditional music bands, symphonic ensembles, chamber orchestras, and pop bands. You may have caught her on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, in the series Mozart in the Jungle, or at the NBC Universal Upfronts at Radio City Music Hall.She also founded Percussion Quartet Excelsis, which Jonathan Haas, head of the NYU Percussion Department, praised as one of the most innovative and exciting percussion ensembles of this era of chamber music. Excelsis has performed twice on NPR's From the Top, at the Percussive Arts Society New York Weekend of Percussion, Brooklyn Bound with Sō Percussion, Zeltsman Marimba Festival, and Tippet Rise Music Festival in Montana. The group is endorsed by Sabian Cymbals.As a symphonic percussionist, she has performed with the National Symphony of Mexico, Orquesta de Minería, the first all-women orchestra of Mexico, Dartmouth Symphony, South Florida Symphony, New England Ensemble, Fairfield Orchestra, and most recently with The Dessoff Choir, premiering works for choir and orchestra at Alice Tully Hall.Traditional Mexican music. Broadway pits. Symphony halls. Chamber ensembles. Television. That range is not an accident — it's the career.In this conversation, we talk about:* The Santana concert in Mexico City that made an 11-year-old girl decide, on the spot, what she wanted to do with her life* Her path from the National Conservatory of Mexico to Rutgers to New York* What it took to break into Broadway subbing — and what it meant to be the first* How versatility across genres and settings keeps a freelance career aliveAnd when you're done with this one, keep an eye on your inbox. Up next on the podcast: Spencer Inch. You won't want to miss that conversation.For the complete roadmap to building a career in theater, grab Broadway Bound and Beyond at broadwayboundbook.com.Broadway Bound and Beyond isn't theory. It's twenty-six years on Broadway broken down into what actually works: how auditions really get decided, how reputation gets built or destroyed, how money works in this business, why versatility keeps you employed, and what it takes to last decades instead of one season. If you want the full career picture, the hardcover is at broadwayboundbook.com.If subbing is specifically your way in, the book gets you the mindset and the etiquette, but the Broadway Sub Playbook goes further. It's the actual system: the four-week prep formula, the show-day routine, how to take notes that stick, how to handle a pit you've never sat in before. It's built for one job — getting you ready for that call when it comes — and it's the resource a lot of working subs wish they'd had before their first one.Grab both at signaturebrandworks.com.Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre. He is also the founder of Broadway Drumming 101 and the author of Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career.His Broadway credits include Memphis, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud, and Cats: The Jellicle Ball, with additional credits spanning tick, tick…BOOM!, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and subbing on Rent, Motown, Evita, Avenue Q, and the Hadestown tour.Clayton has appeared on The View, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and the Tony Awards.

Jared Shaw didn't build his career on one big break.He built it on being ready.National tours of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and The Book of Mormon. Broadway sub credits on Tommy, Boop! The Musical, Beaches, and more. Four years as the drummer for Billy Mira & The Hitmen on the Howard Stern Show. Percussion guest with the National Symphony of Ghana. First drum chair of the NYU Broadway Orchestra under Ted Sperling. Over 40 theatrical productions in New York City.That's not a resume. That's a body of work built one gig at a time.He also came up the right way — NYU Steinhardt, Percussion Performance, University Honors, with minors in Business of Entertainment and Producing. In this episode, we get into what it actually took. How he approached learning difficult books. How he thinks about subbing. What touring taught him about professionalism. How electronic drumming and programming became part of his toolkit — not as a novelty, but as a necessity.We also talk about his studies with James Saporito, Shawn Pelton, and Valerie Naranjo. Three teachers who shaped how he hears music and approaches the instrument.This is a conversation about longevity. About what it actually takes to last in this business. About being the kind of drummer people call — and call back.If you're serious about how to get into subbing on Broadway, or getting a tour, this one's worth your time.For more: https://www.jared-shaw.comClayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with legendary percussionist Luis Conte for a conversation that goes far beyond music, into life, freedom, faith, and the deep roots of rhythm.  Luis has played with just about everyone, from James Taylor to Pat Metheny, and has been a defining voice in modern percussion for decades. But what struck me most in this conversation is not just what he's played, it's how he thinks about music and where it comes from.We begin with where he is today, working out of his home studio and navigating the modern recording world. Luis strikes a balance between convenience and connection, the trade-off between recording alone and the magic that happens when musicians are in the same room together.  From there, we get into one of my favorite parts of the conversation: the relationship between drummer and percussionist. Luis has such a simple and powerful philosophy: don't overthink it. Listen. Let the music tell you what to play. It's a reminder that great musicianship is often about awareness, not complexity.Luis then shares his incredible personal story, growing up in Cuba, being immersed in music from an early age, and eventually leaving the country as a teenager. What follows is a story of sacrifice, resilience, and ultimately freedom. His reflections on that experience are deeply moving and provide valuable context for the way he approaches music and life.We also talk about his journey into the Los Angeles music scene, the importance of relationships, and what it really takes to build a career: not just playing well, but being someone people want to be around. Along the way, he shares stories about working with some of the greats, including the late Carlos Vega, whose impact on musicians runs deep.  Toward the end, we get into his work with Pat Metheny and the idea of trusting great musicians to bring their own voice to the music. It's a theme that runs throughout the entire conversation. Music isn't something you force; it's something you respond to.This is a conversation about feel, about listening, and about the life experiences that shape the way we play.Key TakeawaysLuis Conte explains why listening, not thinking, is the foundation of great percussion playing.He shares the nuanced role of a percussionist alongside a drummer and how to complement the music.Luis reflects on his journey leaving Cuba and the profound meaning of freedom in his life and career.We discuss how early musical exposure shaped his instincts long before formal training.Luis emphasizes that relationships, attitude, and reliability are just as important as musicianship.He shares stories about Carlos Vega and what made him such a special musician.Luis talks about working with Pat Metheny and the importance of trusting artists to bring their own voice.Music from the EpisodeSantiaguero - Ropa Vieja ft.

"Mvura (Shona for "water") was inspired by a field recording captured in the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh, Morocco. A space filled with birdsong, flowing water, passing voices, and a calm energy of nature."The composition began with sampling the sound of flowing water from the recording and building an Afro House journey around it. I wanted to fuse the organic atmosphere of the garden with the warmth, rhythm, and uplifting energy of Afro House. Percussion became a central element, reflecting both African and Arab musical textures and the shared sense of movement and celebration found across these cultures."The track progresses slowly and intentionally, allowing elements to unfold naturally ( like water itself). MVURA is meant to feel immersive: a balance between nature and dance, calm and motion, creating a joyful space where listeners can drift and move at the same time."Jardin Majorelle, Marrakesh reimagined by NdiniBeatz.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with conductor, composer, and longtime contemporary music advocate Brad Lubman for a wide-ranging conversation about interpretation, rehearsal, composition, and the deeper responsibilities of making music with other people.Brad first came onto my radar through his work conducting Steve Reich's music, but this conversation quickly opened into something much larger. He talks about the way audiences often associate him with Reich's music, while reminding us that he had already built a substantial life in new music long before that connection began. From there, we get into a fascinating discussion about what conductors actually do, and why he resists the idea that great conducting is about imposing personality on a score. For Brad, the work begins with the composer's intentions and the discipline of bringing those intentions to life as clearly and honestly as possible.We also spend time on Brad's path as both a percussionist and a conductor, including how his early love of drums and rock music, and later of orchestral music, shaped the musician he became. He reflects on what percussion taught him about immediacy, time, and gesture, and how those lessons still inform the way he teaches conductors today. His thoughts on rehearsal are especially compelling: the idea that a conductor's role is not to dominate but to create conditions in which musicians can play with confidence, clarity, and artistry.A particularly rewarding part of this conversation centers on Brad's own music, especially his powerful piece Tangents for two pianos and two percussionists. He shares the origin of that work, how it emerged during a moment when he was considering stepping away from composition, and why it marked the beginning of a new phase in his musical language. We also talk about his long association with Steve Reich, Ensemble Signal, and the kinds of life-changing moments that can come from simply doing your work well and being ready when the right people are listening.By the end of the conversation, what comes through most clearly is Brad's seriousness of purpose and his belief in music as a communal act. Whether he is conducting, composing, teaching at the Eastman School of Music, or building programs with Ensemble Signal and major orchestras around the world, he approaches music with precision, humility, and an unwavering sense of service to the score and the people making it.Key TakeawaysBrad Lubman offers a thoughtful distinction between “interpretation” and serving the composer's intentions, arguing that great conducting begins with fidelity to the score rather than ego.He explains why so much of what audiences hear as a conductor's influence is actually shaped in rehearsal, not just in performance.Brad reflects on how his background as a drummer and percussionist sharpened his sense of time, touch, and physical gesture.We talk in depth about his piece Tangents and why that work marked a turning point in his life as a composer.Brad shares how key moments in his career — including his connection to Steve Reich and the New York premiere of City Life — came through preparation, reputation, and musical trust.He discusses the communal nature of orchestral music-making and his belief that an ensemble can model cooperation at the highest level.The conversation concludes with a look at his current work as a teacher, conductor, composer, and advocate for contemporary music worldwide.Music from the EpisodeMusic for 18 Musicians (Pulse) - Steve Reich (Ensemble Signal - Brad Lubman, Conductor)Radio Rewrite (I.

Drei Jahre nach ihrem Debüt präsentiert Marlène Colle mit "Heilige Scheiße" ein Werk, das private Bestandsaufnahme mit politischem Anspruch verknüpft. Zwischen Darkpop und Indie markiert das Album markiert eine thematische Weiterentwicklung von der “Feier der Kaputtheit” hin zu expliziten gesellschaftlichen Analysen. Ihr Debütalbum "Schade kaputt" thematisiert das menschliche Scheitern und den Umgang mit Unvollkommenheit. Und auch auf ihrem neuen Album erforscht sie diese Bilder weiter – taucht aber tiefer ein in das Systemische dahinter. So setzt sich Colle mit Vermögensverteilung ("Kein Arschloch") und zeitgenössischen Schönheitsidealen (“4&fck40") auseinander oder referenziert aktuelle feministische Literatur ("Bald") und entwirft das Szenario einer bevorstehenden gesellschaftlichen Revolution. Zudem findet sich in den neuen Liedern von PAULA PAULA auch immer wieder die Erkenntnis, dass dem Menschsein der konstante Verlust innewohnt. Entstanden ist "Heilige Scheiße" gemeinsam mit Kristina Koropecki (Cello, Backing Vocals und Produktion), Daniel Freitag (Synths, Produktion), Moritz Bossmann (E-Gitarre), Joda Foerster (Drums, Percussion) und Gisbert zu Knyphausen (Bass) im Studio. Die insgesamt zehn Lieder bewegen sich zwischen Chanson-haften Melodien und düsterem Art-Pop – und nach dem freudigen Debüt vor zwei Jahren, folgt mit "Heilige Scheiße" nun der würdige Nachfolger von Marlène Colle, mit dem sie dann im Herbst auf Tour geht.

Episode 497 - Candice Hill Pete's Percussion Podcast Kansas City-based freelancing percussionist, educator, Steel Pan artist, composer and arranger Candice Hill stops by to talk about her career in KC and getting started there, along with her time performing with the Kansas City Chiefs drumline (03:45), teaching and performing in town, arranging and composing, and her work “Red City Calypso” (21:30), growing up in Columbia (MO) and her family musical background (34:45), her undergrad years at Missouri State University, marching band and lessons, getting into steel pan performance, and Music Education vs. Music Performance degrees (44:55), attending Northern Illinois University for her master's in Steel Pan Performance, studying with Liam Teague and Cliff Alexis, dealing with performance anxiety, and keeping up with her non-steel band percussion skills (01:04:15), and settles in for the Random Ass Questions, including segments on being a woman in the field of percussion, Pete getting to work with Candice and Emily Lemmermann for the Missouri Mass Steel Band performance last month, Dirty Dancing, Crafts and Baking, experiencing Panorama in Trinidad and Tobago, bad cleaning jobs, and the excellence of Steel Band all over the world (01:27:20).Finishing with a Rave on the 2026 film Michael (01:54:30).Candice Hill Links:Candice Hill's website“Red City Calypso” - Candice HillPrevious Podcast Guests mentioned:Emily Lemmermann in 2019Julia Gaines-Montag in 2016Scott Cameron in 2016Liam Teague in 2025Rich Holly in 2020Raychel Taylor in 2020Amanda Duncan in 2023Elizabeth DeLamater in 2019Other Links:Matt Arnet“Tornado” - Mitch MarkovichJohn PattersonBlast!Al O'ConnorCliff Alexis“Because” - The Beatles“Island in the Sun” - Len “Boogsie” SharpeYuko AsadaMia Gormandy-BenjaminRobert ChappellScott McConnellDirty Dancing trailerUnheard Voices - Myrna NurseCricut crafts“Pan by Storm” - Skiffle BunchBen YanceyRaves:Michael trailer

Performance and Works used with permission from the artist and venue. Founded in Chicago and Led by Bassist Kevin Robert Martinez, Reclamation Band is modern jazz with an open rural backdrop. Its unique combination of composed and improvised elements evokes an array of moods and styles such as Americana, Avante-Garde and Blues. A number of things make this group's sound unique. The first is the equal division between a guitar and two saxophone leads versus a rhythm section that includes Bass and Bass Clarinet along with drums. I'm a sucker for the Bass Clarinet sound and Kevin really understands how to leverage that sound in a way few other composers do. The second is that the group functions more as a versatile collective than as a fixed unit. Some configurations exchange a saxophone for a trumpet while others exclude guitar. Kevin took eight months off from the band before regrouping for a tour in support of their recent release These Roads and the new material shines as a result. Featuring Kevin Martinez on Bass, Anthony Tadeo on Percussion, Dan Bruce on Guitar, Tony Spicer on Bass Clarinet, Chris Coles on Alto Saxophone and Tim McDonald on Tenor Saxophone, and from a July 19th, 2025 performance it's the Reclamation Band…Live at the Bop Stop. You're listening to Reclamation Band. Live at the Bop Stop.

"I steered safely around the lions only featuring a loop of a growl buried towards the end of the piece. I was more intrigued by the sound of insects and cracking undergrowth, moving noises. These were sampled and re pitched. I added kalimba played through a granular effects pedal and it skittered around the mix. Percussion shakes were found sounds of beads brushed on a contact mic. "Finally I added a free form melody via the tocante phashi. This is a solar powered touch synth that has a very esoteric playing style ( live circuit bending) and strange tuning structure. It added a haunting feel as modular synth emulated insect noises and something prowled just out of sight."Serengeti soundscape reimagined by Andy Billington.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with percussionist, composer, and educator Michael Burritt for a wide-ranging conversation about teaching, performing, composing, and the responsibility that comes with shaping generations of musicians. Michael reflects on his years at Eastman, the path that brought him there, and the deep sense of purpose he feels in helping students grow not just as players, but as people.We spend a lot of time talking about mentorship and what it means to build a studio culture rooted in excellence, curiosity, humility, and trust. Michael shares thoughtful reflections on former students like Brett Dietz, Jake Nissly, and Peter Martin, and what makes it so meaningful to watch students go on to become artists, educators, and leaders in their own right. What comes through clearly is that for him, teaching has never been about producing one type of player. It has always been about helping each student become more fully themselves.We also dig into the evolution of percussion pedagogy and marimba playing over the last few decades. Michael talks about the opportunities and distractions that come with instant access to recordings, the increasing technical level of incoming students, and the importance of still building a strong pedagogical foundation. He speaks candidly about sound, time, phrasing, touch, and the long arc of helping a student develop an ear that demands more of their own playing.Along the way, we get into composition, repertoire, and how marimba literature has expanded over the course of his career. Michael shares how he approaches writing for the instrument, what happens when non-percussionist composers write for marimba, and why the best music still puts musical meaning ahead of technical display. By the end of the conversation, what lingers most is Michael's humility. For someone who has had such an enormous impact on percussion, he keeps coming back to gratitude, relationships, and the privilege of being part of an art form that is still growing.Key TakeawaysMichael sees teaching as both a musical and human responsibility, with equal emphasis on artistry, character, confidence, and humility.He takes great pride in building a studio culture where students are challenged, supported, and encouraged to develop their own distinct musical identities.Today's percussion students often arrive with higher technical ability and more exposure to recordings, but not always with the same step-by-step pedagogical grounding.For Michael, great playing starts with the ear: students have to hear the sound they want deeply enough that their hands learn how to produce it.He believes percussion pedagogy still needs more repertoire that bridges the gap between intermediate literature and major large-scale works.As a composer, he moves between the instrument and the keyboard, always trying to balance intuitive writing with musical structure and instrumental understanding.When he reflects on legacy, he returns less to accolades and more to relationships, student growth, and the chance to remain part of his students' lives long after they leave school.Music from the EpisodeMichael Burritt - Sweet Dreams and Time MachinesMichael Burritt - Burritt VariationsMichael Burritt - Into the AirMichael Burritt - White PinesAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, composers, educators, and creative artists for thoughtful conversations about craft, collaboration, career, and the deeper stories behind a life in music.

Percussion auf Benzinkanistern: Dirigent Santtu-Matias Rouvali zeigt in der Isarphilharmonie, wie groovy das BRSO klingen kann. Im Interview spricht er über sein Debüt mit dem Orchester, seine Liebe zu Sibelius und Saunaabende.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with composer Adam Schoenberg for a thoughtful and deeply human conversation about artistic identity, creative conviction, and the long arc of a life in music. Adam reflects on the early success of Finding Rothko, the orchestral work that helped put him on the map, and what it means to look back on a piece written in his twenties with both gratitude and perspective.We talk about the tension between writing to please others and writing from a place of honesty. Adam shares a formative story from his student years about reshaping a piece to fit institutional expectations, only to realize later that the version that truly sounded like him was the one that opened doors. It leads us into a wider conversation about tonality, contemporary classical music, and why he believes today's musical landscape is more open to different kinds of expression than it once was.Adam also opens up about mentorship, education, and the very different kinds of teachers who shaped him along the way. We discuss studying with John Corigliano, the emotional difficulty of feeling artistically out of place as a young composer, and how those experiences ultimately influenced the kind of teacher he wanted to become for his own students.One of the most moving parts of our conversation centers on Adam's recent health crisis and the way it has changed his relationship to composing, ambition, and time. He speaks candidly about depression, survival, recovery, and the vulnerability of returning to the page after a long silence. We also talk about his percussion concerto Losing Earth, his collaborative relationship with percussionist Jake Nissly, and a powerful new work on the horizon: a Concerto for Body that explores illness, healing, and the orchestra as a living system.Key TakeawaysAdam Schoenberg's breakout orchestral work, Finding Rothko, launched his career and continues to resonate with audiences nearly 20 years later.He learned early on that shaping music to satisfy gatekeepers can come at the expense of artistic truth.Studying with mentors like Robert Beaser and John Corigliano helped him refine both his craft and his confidence as a composer.Adam sees today's classical music world as more stylistically open, with greater room for composers to write in an authentic voice.His percussion concerto Losing Earth, written for Jake Nissly and the San Francisco Symphony, grew out of a highly collaborative process and a desire to create an immersive musical experience.A serious medical crisis took Adam away from composing for nearly two years and forced him to rethink identity, ambition, and what kind of work still matters to him.His upcoming Concerto for Body reflects a new creative chapter shaped by illness, survival, and the experience of coming back.Music from the EpisodeAdam Schoenberg - American Symphony - I.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with composer, performer, and educator Casey Cangelosi for a conversation that moves comfortably between teaching, podcasting, composing, and the realities of building a life in the percussion world. Casey teaches at James Madison University, where he directs a busy percussion studio and constantly balances artistic ambition with the practical challenges of giving students meaningful performance opportunities.We talk about how he approaches programming percussion ensemble, often leaning toward smaller-group repertoire that allows more students to develop chamber instincts and real musical ownership. That naturally leads into a larger discussion about education, specifically the gap that can exist between strong performance skills and deep knowledge of repertoire. Casey makes a compelling case for listening, score study, and curiosity as essential parts of becoming a complete musician.A big part of Casey's recent creative life has been the Percussion Podcast, where he hosted more than 300 episodes of conversations with percussionists and composers. He reflects honestly on what that project gave him, as a communicator, teacher, and community builder, as well as the real workload of producing that many episodes and the challenge of keeping conversations fresh over time.We also spend time inside Casey's composing process. He talks about the difference between writing for hands versus writing for humans, and how limitations, instrumentation, skill level, or context can actually unlock more interesting musical ideas. Increasingly, he's thinking about accessibility in repertoire: writing music that still feels compelling but can reach more performers instead of only fitting one ideal player.Toward the end, Casey shares some of the unexpected places his music has recently appeared, including projects connected to theater, dance, and visual art, from a performance context in Mannheim, to an installation tied to Ligeti's 100 Metronomes, to a circus production in Italy using his piece Bad Touch. It's a reminder that percussion music continues to travel in surprising directions.Key TakeawaysTeaching requires balancing artistry and logistics — ensemble programming often means finding ways for more students to perform meaningfully.Listening and score study deepen musicianship — strong playing should be paired with a deep knowledge of repertoire.Podcasting builds community but demands consistency — producing hundreds of episodes requires serious time and energy.Constraints can unlock creativity — limitations often lead to stronger compositional ideas.Writing for performers matters — accessible repertoire can reach more musicians without sacrificing musical depth.Percussion music is expanding beyond traditional venues — Casey's work now appears in theater, visual art, and interdisciplinary projects.Curiosity fuels long careers — staying open to new contexts keeps creative work evolving.Music from the EpisodeScry - Casey CangelosiBlink - Casey CangelosiThe Big Audition - Casey CangelosiLigeti: Symphonic Poem for 100 Metronomes - Casey CangelosiAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with percussionist Jake Nissly, Principal Percussionist of the San Francisco Symphony, for a conversation about what it actually takes to build and sustain a career at the highest level of orchestral playing. Jake's résumé is remarkable, but what stands out even more is the range of hats he wears: orchestral musician, soloist, educator, department chair at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, drum set player, former drum corps kid, and even Little League coach.We spend time unpacking the reality of orchestral auditions, the intense preparation, the psychological pressure of playing behind a screen, and the almost figure-skating-level precision required to compete in that world. Jake walks through his own path: winning the Detroit Symphony job at 26, then later the Cleveland Orchestra, and ultimately facing the difficult experience of not receiving tenure. Rather than ending his trajectory, that moment reshaped it and eventually led him to the San Francisco Symphony.One of my favorite parts of this conversation centers on Jake's concept of feel. He credits much of his orchestral success to his background in drum set and drum corps, where groove, flexibility, and listening are everything. That experience, he says, translates directly into orchestral playing, even in repertoire like Mahler or Ravel's Bolero, where there's still a pocket to find if you're listening closely enough.We also talk about teaching and the changing landscape for young musicians. Jake shares thoughtful insights about how YouTube and digital access have transformed preparation, often producing incredibly polished players who sometimes struggle to develop ownership, personality, and soul in their playing. It's an honest conversation about pedagogy, resilience, and the kind of musicianship that lifts everyone in the room.Key TakeawaysOrchestral auditions demand extraordinary precision — success often comes down to microscopic musical details.Career paths are rarely linear — setbacks can become turning points rather than endings.Groove matters in orchestral music — Jake's drum set and drum corps background inform his orchestral feel.Listening is the core skill — great musicians adjust in real time to the ensemble around them.Technical mastery alone isn't enough — personality and ownership bring music to life.Teaching requires adapting to new generations — digital resources have reshaped how students prepare.Leadership in music is collaborative — the best players elevate the entire ensemble.Music from the EpisodeJohn Adams - City Noir: I.

Rhonesha Byng has a mantra: No one ever slows her agenda. It's motivated her for the last 18 years of building her award-winning digital media company, and provided its name - Her Agenda - with the goal of providing resources and inspiration for professional women as they ascend in their careers. Core to this mission is autonomy - as a critical element underlying the success of her audience, and for Rhonesha herself. In her two decades building Her Agenda, Rhonesha has retained 100% ownership and control, which has served her as she's navigated the shifting, roiling media landscape with the agility required to adapt. In this episode of The Breadwinners, host Rachael Lowell talks to Rhonesha about why it's crucial for women to prioritize their own power, why community is her secret weapon, and what it takes to build something that lasts.

At The NAMM Show 2026, Drum Workshop turned its booth into a walk-through of what a modern drum company looks like when craft, heritage, and engineering share the same floor. Scott Donnell, Director of Brand Management at Drum Workshop, Inc., guided us through a lineup that spans the DW Custom Shop, the revived Slingerland Radio King line, Latin Percussion, Pacific Drums and Percussion, and the brand's new DW Manufacturing series. The DW Custom Shop stand is a visible argument for customization as a sonic decision, not just a cosmetic one. Chrome, gold, satin chrome, and black hardware. Polyester sprays, three durable lacquers, exotic plies, and ply wraps. When a drummer specifies wood species, ply count, and grain orientation, they are designing the drum's voice from the inside out. The Slingerland revival gets the faithful-reproduction treatment. Radio King studio kits on display are solid, steam-bent maple shells with the original three-point throw-off and stick saver hoops, built in California. Scott Donnell speaks about the line the way a curator talks about a restoration: get the details right, honor what drummers remember, and let the sound do the rest. Donnell frames DW's innovation as a stack of deliberate decisions rather than a single breakthrough. DW stamps a note into each shell through a process called timbre matching, which ensures the kit is manufactured as a family. Pair that with grain orientation technology, True Pitch tuning, and resonance-focused tom mounting systems, and drummers never end up with an orphan drum in their kit. Marking the tenth anniversary of True Cast, the new DW Manufacturing four by 14 piccolo features a five millimeter sand-cast shell, cast bronze hoops, and fully machined brass and bronze hardware. Only one hundred are being made globally, each arriving in an Anvil flight case. A recent DW video features Dave Elitch and Abe Laboriel Jr. playing the drum with Paul McCartney. The conversation closes on a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour kit gifted to the DW museum by Chad Smith, which will join Neil Peart's and Terry Bozzio's tour kits on display while DW builds Chad new Sonic flight drums for the band's next tour. Pacific Drums and Percussion, LP's top-tuning congas, Tony Escapa's signature hand percussion series, and DWE round out the booth. Drum Workshop is not hiding how the drums get made. Take the tour, take the pictures, watch the videos, and the innovation speaks for itself. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.
