Drum and Drummer

This week we are joined by Eddie from Primas Custom Drums! We talk about how he put his previous skills as a carpenter and engineer and passion for drums to good use in setting up Primas Custom Drums. We delve into his unique manufacturing process, customer base, price point and modifying kits. We also learn about his job at Rolls Royce Aerospace and a particular way they test the engines! Enjoy!

This week we had a great chat with Ciara Chinniah! Ciara recently gave a masterclass at the UK Drum Show and tells us of her love of odd time signatures and the imminent book she’s written focussing on just that. We also discuss family priorities, what it’s like drumming while pregnant and both of her podcasts ‘Drummer Mamas’ and ‘Drum Education Live’. She also runs the ‘She Can Drum’ drum camp and teaches privately from her own studio in Essex. Enjoy!

Pop on your red trousers, it’s time for another Drum and Drummer! George learns how the distinct snare sound in ‘Beat It’ was created, played a lovely gig covering songs by David Bowie and danced the night away at a cèilidh. Ben finished the album he started in January and spent his nights at home building his prized Lego. We also chat about playing football with an ex Premier League footballer, take a trip to the Drum Dumpster and discuss the weird world of the local bonfire societies. Enjoy!

On this week’s show we’re talking about George’s recent gigs with Mackenzie and a long drive to Leeds and back with the one and only Deano. Ben’s got a new car and thinks the world is a bit like Grand Theft Auto and we both get riled up by lazy sax players and Instagram messages. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by special guest Oli Middleton! Oli has been the drum tech for Bastille for nearly a decade and we chatted about getting the job, what a typical day on tour looks like and dealing with Woody’s ever expanding set up. We also quiz him on changing skins and tuning (no Moongel allowed) and the ups and downs of life on the road. Enjoy!

It’s a big day today as we celebrate reaching 100 episodes! George is chatting from his new drum booth and tells us how his first gig with Ableton went and Ben has got his new BDC snare. We then chat about reaching 100 episodes and there’s a secret recording from when we were coming up with the idea of starting the podcast. Enjoy!

We’re back with more chat about our trip to the UK Drum Show in Liverpool. With heads sore and a big breakfast in our bellies we headed to the ACC. After quickly realising drum exhibitions are quite loud we had a wander round and spoke to some familiar faces and BDC offered Ben a deal he couldn’t refuse. We also bumped into Greyson Nekrutman! It was a great experience to go and see what was on offer and also give the podcast some promotion. Enjoy!

Greetings! We’ve just been to the UK Drum Show in Liverpool and we’re gonna talk about it… well we’re gonna talk about the day before. After a long drive that took pretty much all day we popped out for dinner, visited some pubs, met some fellow drummers and saw a really big bin. Enjoy!

Hello! As we gear up for a trip to the UK Drum Show we’re chatting about Ben’s 20 year uni reunion in London, George popping out for a roast and returning home after 1am and a man pissing himself in the middle of a pub. George watches Lord of the Rings for the first time and delves further into Ableton while Ben makes a rare appearance at a wedding as a guest and one of us has a cracked hi-hat. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by the amazing Camille Phillips!
