Thanks for checking out episode 47 with Steve Vai & Sebastian Bach drummer, Jeremy Colson.

In this episode, Jeremy has some fascinating insights on being a session musician and how playing for the song in an instrumental band is different

to a much more common rock band situation containing vocals.

He also talks about some of the techniques he's implied over the years which include using a double butt ended stick for his snare hand to achieve a fatter, more consistent rim shot and despite playing in some irregular time signatures with Steve Vai, he always tries to make it sound as straight as possible.

Thanks for checking out episode 44 with Martin Potts who works for the distributor KORG UK in a role as UK Artist Relations for Paiste, Vic Firth & Mapex drums but also has control of the marketing for Mapex in the UK.

In this episode, Martin and I chat about his history of playing drums which included him reaching grade 8 at a young age, but sadly due to problems with arthritis couldn't persue much in his playing career. So we naturally discussed his journey of working within the musical instruments industry and how he started working in a drum shop and has worked his way up in the world of musical instrument distribution within multiple companies to where he is today and how the industry has changed over the years.

We also discussed some interesting topics such as artist endorsements and what Artist Relations at drum companies look for in new artists and how artists should initially approach them with regards to applications etc. Martin also talked about how he organises the marketing side of things for Mapex including social media content and how difficult it can be to get it right. Overall, a really interesting conversation from another side of the drum world that doesn't often get covered on this show.

Thanks for checking out episode 43 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring Cardinal Black groove machine Adam Roberts.

In this episode, Adam and I have a long in-depth chat about his relationship with the drums strongly influenced by his father who is also a drummer plus the complicated history of his band Cardinal Black featuring 'best new guitarist in the world' Chris Buck, super smoothe soulful vocalist Tom Hollister and funky bassist Sam Williams and explains why the band say that they the "the oldest new band in the world" and how they were discovered by managed by ex-Guns N' Roses manager Alan Niven before the band decided to go their separate ways around ten years ago.

Adam talks about how the band recently reformed and talks about the making of their stunning new album 'January Came Close' which was released on October 28th 2022 and is a must listen for anyone who appreciates good music. We also talk about the Cardinal Black's relatively quick rise to fame including sold out headline shows and many support tours already including Myles Kennedy, The Struts and upcoming shows with the legendary Peter Frampton!

We also chatted about Adam's beautiful vintage Ludwig Vistalite drums (owned by his father), Zildjian cymbals and Promark drumsticks, his influences, meeting Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, getting his personal Instagram account hacked and much more.

In this episode, Anika and I have a great chat about her history with the drums and how she was encouraged to play by her parents at 6 years old and how she got the recent gig with Jeff Beck and what it was like touring with him and Johnny Depp across the UK and Europe and how she had to play most of the tour with an injured right foot which led to her having to learn the set by using just her left foot for the bass drum. She also has some great advice for drummers who would like to get more comfortable with odd time signatures and reveals some of her favourite musicians and inspirations.

Thanks for checking out episode 40 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring the amazing Emily Dolan Davies who is the current drummer in the house band for The Voice Kids UK. She also plays drums for Kim Wilde and was the drummer in UK rock band The Darkness a few years ago. You might also recognise her from the Netflix documentary 'Count Me In'.

In this episode, Emily and I have a great chat about how she originally got into playing the drums, her influences and how she became professional. We talked about her home recording studio where she offers bespoke drum recording, her podcast series called 'A Drummers Guide to' where Emily talks in detail about certain areas of the industry that are difficult to learn about. Emily is really busy drummer and uses social media heavily as a promotional tool so we also talked about that. Learn more about Emily at https://www.emilydolandavies.com/
