In this episode we kick off a brand new series we'll be exploring where we do a deep dive on one album and the one drummer that plays on it, and what better way to kick this series off with the masterpiece that is John Mayer's "Continuum". 

The album features and is produced by the legendary Steve Jordan (any guesses who picked this album?). We talk all about the magic of Steve's playing and how he creates the perfect drummer part, as well as the tonal choices with his drums and production. 

Have you heard this album, and if so which are your favourite tracks? Let us know on Instagram - @countusinpodcast

We mentioned lots of content surrounding the album, which are all linked below.

In this episode we discuss the feeling of being inspired but also completely exasperated at the same time. As drummers, we get so much inspiration from our favourite plays and musicians, but can also overwhelmed by the technical brilliance that it becomes frustratingly unachievable.
