May 16, 2022 Ep. 226 William Goldsmith (Sunny Day Real Estate/Assertion/Foo Fighters)
Our guest this episode is William Goldsmith, drummer for Sunny Day Real Estate who have recently made a number of very exciting announcements for shows and tours in 2022. Willam is also a member of 2-piece post rock band Assertion and former drummer for Foo Fighters, as well. I hope you have a great time with this episode! I'm a big fan of SDRE and I really loved getting the opportunity to speak with William. Also, if you're looking for a drum instructor reach out to William through social media. He's had a rich experience in music and is a great resource for teaching and consulting.

April 28, 2022 Ep. 223 Robbie Crowell (Midland)
Our guest this episode is the incredibly talented, multi-instrumentalist Robbie Crowell. Its crazy to think that nearly every musician is known for being proficient and one prominent instrument but Robbie is hired regularly on 4 instruments: drums, bass, keys and sax. His list of recording credits is equally as impressive and wildly varied. And, to help things along, he's an ace dude and a killer hang. I hope you enjoy this conversation as we dive into Robbie's musical history and get a glimpse into his world. Thanks for listening!

Our guest this episode is the excellent drummer, Van Romaine. Van has an interesting and diverse resume that includes Naughty By Nature, Steve Morse, Blood Sweat & Tears and lead him to being drummer and musical director for both Enrique Iglesias and Nena. I had a great time hanging and hearing his story and I hope you enjoy this conversation!

April 18, 2022 Ep. 221 Anthony Biuso (TSOL/The Dickies/Hed(PE)
Our guest this episode is the incredible Anthony "Tiny Bubz" Biuso. This was such a fun conversation and Tiny is not a shy fella. He's been gigging since he was a young kid, first in orchestral organizations and then at 16 in a rock band with folks much older than he was. He later moved to LA and has gone on to play with a number of notable bands.

April 07, 2022 Ep. 218 John Sherman (Red Fang)
Our guest for this episode of Couch Riffs' Drummer Awareness Month is John Sherman of Portland Oregon's Red Fang. John is a crushing drummer and world class dude. I had a great time hanging with him, learning about him coming up playing drums and talking shit about the ins and outs of touring with a band you're growing from seed. I hope you enjoy this casual sit down as much as I did! Look for Red Fang playing in Europe in Summer 2022 with more dates to be announced soon.
