Drum and Drummer

As we settle into our new houses our green fingers have been rummaging round to see what’s what. George had a surprise housemate living in his shed and Ben found some rather interesting items in his new garage. We also chat about band myths, tip runs, the Graham Russell Drums Birthday Bash, learning some My Chemical Romance and Ben has an apology to make. Enjoy!

This week we start off with some correspondence before heading into more tales of Ben’s holiday including trying out the Zildjian Alchem-E at Guitar Centre and picking a new snare from Dan at Daytona Beach Drum Centre. Ben also went to see Enter Shikari and You Me At Six in Orlando, had an eventful ride on Space Mountain and got asked one very important question. Enjoy!

Ben’s back from his holiday! We chat about the few days before departure which included a gig in Wales and the small task of moving house with 5 days notice. After a busy and stressful week it was time to head to Florida and relax, that was until Hurricane Milton, the fifth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever, decided to join the party. Enjoy!

While Ben's still away in Florida we pre-recorded some chat filled with golden nuggets such as Dyson headphones, cash tips at gigs, the UK Drum Show and popping your crisps in the fridge. We also take a look at the new line of Roland kits and do our best Jools Holland impressions. Enjoy!

Hallo! On this week’s episode we find out all about George’s recent gig in Switzerland; strict passport control, being taken to a cabin in the woods and apple sauce with pasta. WHAT?! Find out what George makes of the Swiss tax system and why he would never live there, what lessons he learnt about gigging abroad and the horror gig he missed on the Isle of Wight. Genießen!

On this week’s show we’re chatting about a man who has no email address, posting USB sticks instead of file sharing and George gave a man from DIY SOS some van SOS. We also catch up on our recent gigs with George trekking to Cambridge and central London and Ben making his HYPR debut. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by the one and only Gabi King! She’s off to Liverpool to do a masterclass at the UK Drum Show this weekend but before she sets off she kindly joined us for a natter. Having been the drummer for Declan McKenna for nearly 8 years she now finds herself touring the world as the percussionist for The 1975. We chat about those years with Declan, making the switch to percussion plus teaching, delivering pizza and what she really thinks of grades. Plenty of great stuff in this episode so get listening! Enjoy!

We were up bright and early for this week’s episode (well, early for Ben). George had a busy week gigging; his cajón took centre stage at a corporate event, he nearly got in a fight loading out of a pub and his dream trip to Beaconsfield and Oxford didn’t go to plan. Meanwhile Ben went up to London to look at Batman stuff, witnessed a man mistake a suit carrier for a hi hat and had another bad hogroast. Enjoy!

After some internet issues in Brighton we finally got down to business. On this week’s episode we chat about the gig we did together in Weston-super-Mare where we got to meet the ‘locals’ and lots of lovely farm animals. Ben also had a long drive to London the previous day and George brought his big boy Tama kit out of retirement. We also discuss the new Zildjian headphones, a delicious new Tama finish and Ben’s new Dyson. Enjoy!

Packed lunches and chocolate bars start us off this week before moving on to George’s upcoming gig in Zurich and Ben’s upcoming gig with HYPR. As well as writing charts Ben also got tempted by a new kit once owned by Mark Richardson of Skunk Anansie fame from Graham Russell (lovely bit of Japanese oak). We also chat about the 7th of September, parachuting out of a plane and what we’d do if we were the last humans alive. Enjoy!
