Blake Carroll – Ep. #44
Welcome into Episode #44 of The Up & Coming Drummer Podcast. This week I'm chatting with Starkville, Mississippi's very own Blake Carroll.
It's great to be back with our first episode of 2019! What an unbelievable year 2018 was! We launched this podcast in April, and have grown a nice following since then! Blake Carroll kicks off the New Year as our 44th guest! It's crazy to think that this podcast has had one episode for 44 weeks straight! It's alot of work, I'm not gonna lie. But the friendships I've made have been amazing! I really hope to get out to some conventions this year and meet some of you in person!
There is, however, one thing I think I'm going to start doing this year to ease up on the workload a little bit. I tend to write these longwinded blog posts that go into detail about everything we talk about in the episode. It's like a play by play of every section of the conversation. I got to thinking that maybe I don't need to tell you guys everything, right? I mean it's a podcast that you listen to with your ears. Why read about it when you can just listen. And besides, who wants a spoiler?
Sure, I'll write something! We'll talk a bit about what's going on and of course about who we have on the show! I'll be sure to load up each post with the guest's name ( Blake Carroll ) for SEO purposes. But honestly, why ramble? With the New Year being here, I'd really like to get some feedback from you all. What did you like about the show so far? What about the show would you change? This podcast is for you guys! I want you to be vocal about what you want to hear and see! As a matter of fact, here...click this link and tell me what's on your mind! Seriously...Please!!!! https://upandcomingdrummer.com/contact/ Sign up for the email list as well. I can get some polls, bonus content, maybe even some giveaways going for subscribers only!
Anyway, here I go rambling. So this week we are kicking off 2019 with Drummer Blake Carroll. Blake is from Starkville, MS and a really cool fun fact is that he is a Triplet! No...Not like the subdivision, like he has a brother and sister that were born minutes apart from him! He's been playing drums for a long time, joining his first band with a group of friends when they were just kids. Turns out his brother is a killer bassist too! Blake went on to play in many bands over the years which we talk about in the show. His most recent and most focused on projects are with the bands "LoveOver" and "KillJay".
Blake and I chat about everything from his bartending side gig to becoming a graphic artist, to how he has learned to promote himself. Many tips are shared about what you can do to help gain attention to yourself. Especially drummers who don't necessarily always have a band to be a part of. We chat social media, and the very few drummers Blake actually follows. If gear is your thing, we make sure to talk about some of the brands Blake plays like Dark Horse Percussion! Aside from drums, Blake tells us some of the most useful apps for editing photos and posting on the go!
I hope you guys enjoy the show and have had a great Holiday! Again, please send in your feedback so we can make this show even better in 2019! As always, I will leave all the links you can find Blake Carroll, and show related content down below! Make sure you go check everything out! Until next week...Peace out!
