Drum and Drummer

Two guys have finally managed to put their drama all behind them and reunite for the people… and Oasis are back together! We chat about their recent reunion announcement and ponder over who the drummer will be. We both had a busy bank holiday weekend of gigging with George playing in a cold cowshed and Ben playing in Horsham town centre. George also went for a few beers in London with a recent guest and someone paid some idiot tax after losing their keys. Enjoy!

On this week’s show we’re talking about the intricacies of passing wind while playing drums, George is off to play a festival in Zurich and Ben purchased a PackBrack. We’re also introduced to the term ‘hi hat bark’ and the difference between triple flange and die cast hoops. Ben also recently worked on some new music with former X-Factor finallist Sean Smith and while on a trip to Lego store got distracted and tried out the new Apple Vision Pro. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode! After seemingly having done nothing of note over the last few weeks we’re digging deep and chatting about the Olympics, George’s car battery dying outside his therapist's house and non-eventful gigs. There’s also trips to the cinema, appropriate TV size and a night on the Guinni with Elliott Joseph. Enjoy!

This week's episode is ‘ablaze’ with banter thanks to our brilliant guest, Jordan Farrugia! After regaling us with a tale of arson and an unusual first date in court, we move on to drumming and Jordan’s career playing for Iranian artist Kamyar for his UK and European shows. We also talk about becoming a Master of Music at the London College of Music, getting to grips with Ableton, working part time, snare drums and the audition process for joining Sonny Tennet’s band. Plus Jordan gives us a sneak peak of his invention, Pack Brack; a new way of mounting IEM packs for drummers. Enjoy!

This week we had a lovely chat with Lainey Loops who is the drummer for SNAYX. Lainey gives us all the ups and downs of being in a band from touring with Royal Blood and Billy Talent, playing Download to being stuck on the Autobahn for 7 hours and balancing life on the road with work. Also a fellow non-burper along with George and previous guest James Gillingham, who is also her partner, we discuss splitting her time between Sheffield and Brighton, recent endorsements with Natal and Zildjian and overpaying for a packet of Monster Munch. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by the one and only Bob Knight. Not only has Bob had a staggering drumming career playing for the likes of Rita Ora, Nik Kershaw, Michael Bublé and Cee-Lo Green (plus so many more) he has also become one of the big ‘fixers’ in the music industry. Having moved down from Yorkshire to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music, Bob decided to take bookings into his own hands and soon started providing musicians for tours, TV appearances and recordings all round the UK and further afield. This is a great listen for any aspiring musician. Enjoy!

The Euros are over and whilst we also regularly disappoint the nation, unlike Gareth, we aren’t going anywhere! Ben had a gig down in Cornwall and made a weekend of it and George has been adjusting to electric kits and restaurant gigs. We also talk about being prepared by getting things right at the start to save time and avoid practising wrong. Ben also made more use of the sale at Graham Russell Drums but what did he buy? Enjoy!

Recorded before the General Election and England’s quarter final win, we weren’t sure what this week would look like! What we do know is that Ben will go to great lengths to avoid a dirty PlayStation controller. He also took a trip to Paultons Park and we both showed our faces at Graham Russell Drums with George taking further advantage of the sale by purchasing a new ride cymbal. Enjoy!

We’ve all been there, you go to buy a drum mat and end up with some new hi hats. George found himself diverted to Graham Russell Drums on his way to a gig and took advantage of their Euro’s discount on used drum gear. We also chat about England’s recent win, boomers and the role of band leader. Enjoy!

The Euros are underway and while the expectation of the nation weighs heavy, our new hardware is light as a feather. George has joined Ben in getting the Yamaha Crosstown lightweight hardware and is pleased with his choice. There’s also chat about good gigs, school rumours, human anatomy, pizzas and how to eat a burger. Enjoy!
