This week we’re joined by George’s current drum teacher Pat Garvey! Pat is regarded as one of the country's leading educators both privately and in the popular music education scene. We had a lovely natter about his practice routine, improving a player, teaching classes versus one-to-one and how the industry has changed for drummers and what impact that has on popular music courses. We also find out about how he got into drumming and more about his old teacher Bob Armstrong plus find out how George stood out in his final performance at BIMM! Enjoy!

This week we’re joined by the legend that is Jonny Brister! With such a vast C.V. in tow (so many artists, top 40 albums, top 10 singles, arena shows, West End theatre tours) we chat about his current gig playing for Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) and their recent tour with Duran Duran. We delve into his monitor mix preferences, dealing with pressure, developing focus, hitting a wall with his playing and what he enjoys outside of drumming. He also plays some BIG cymbals and we find out what it was like playing for Right Said Fred. Enjoy!

There’s more vehicle misery for Ben this week as he tries to take a sofa to the tip and George pranks his band mates with a simple classic. There’s also listener correspondence, autograph hunting, a documentary about the Las Vegas massacre and Royal Blood being naughty boys at Radio One’s Big Weekend. Enjoy!

What ever happened to Draw Something? And why are there no f**king shelves in B&Q? George did some session drumming in the studio (not Ben’s) and we get an update on how his drum lessons are going. There’s also kick pedal chat as we discuss the difference between chain drive and direct drive. Enjoy!
