He’s been mentioned a lot on the podcast and this week we finally welcome Neil Elliott onto the show. With Ben having been Neil’s human drum machine (and work wife) for 11 years at the studio, we wanted to find out what goes on in the head of a producer when working with drummers; from the good to the bad and the damn right ugly. Enjoy!

On this week’s show we talk about breaking the gig pack down record, what’s on our drum shopping list (turns out it’s a lot), the Foo Fighters memorial gig and a listener email gets us thinking about the zombie apocalypse. Oh, and Ben goes on a bit of a rant. Enjoy!

Are we cool? Doubt it very much. On this week’s episode (probably the most dark and worst) Ben and George chat about selling out, making their Instagram more “sexy”, wedding guests who’ve had a few too many, taking daunting tasks step by step and most importantly of all asking the big question; could you kick a toddler’s head off? Enjoy!

Welcome to another episode of Drum and Drummer. As wedding season starts to slightly slow down, George has been on a long cycle ride, Ben’s been busy at the studio and had his hand tattooed plus there’s the resolution to the story of the groom who wants to play with the band. George has also been back to school and had an eye opening drum lesson so pick up those juggling balls and get listening. Enjoy!

It’s Thursday. You’re nearly through another week. Well done. IT’S THE BIG 4-0! On this week’s episode Ben and George chat about how they spent their time in Lockdown 3.0, go through some listener Tweets and an inventive alternative hardware case. But the big news is the Instagram poll as to whether George should let a groom play his drum kit and things turn angry after he picks George’s favourite song to play. The boys also chat about being dropped from gigs and why. Enjoy!

There’s some listener emails and messages to get through including one about favourite drums solos and fills. Ben forgot something important at a gig the other day and he’s not alone as George once forgot his cymbals. There’s other recent eventful gigs, and tales of life intervening at the worst possible time. Strap yourselves in and get listening. Enjoy!

This week Ben and George have a chat with Mel Stewart who is the Brand Development Manager for the British Drum Company. Formed in 2015, the BDC are quickly becoming the drummers choice for drums and snares. Mel takes us through his role at the BDC, their unique way of making drums, artist involvement, the difference between their Legend and Lounge series kits, and there’s technical talk about bearing edges, ply, wood types and the cold press technique. Mel also gives us a run down on some of the BDC snare drums, his current kit, first kit and he gets his mind blown when we chat delivery companies. Enjoy!

The next generation of drummers are here and ready to take over. This week Ben and George had a chat with Connor Griffiths. As well as playing for his band FLOWVERS (who are doing very well), at 21 Connor is already very active in the local session scene and is making dents into the function world too. Conversation includes when he turned pro, deciding not to go to uni, practising at gigs, FLOWVERS, singles vs albums, what modern drummers need to be able to do live, adding extras to your kit, his dream kit, best gigs so far and an extremely controversial pick for favourite delivery company. Enjoy!

Welcome to a new episode of Drum & Drummer. Ben and George are back chatting sh*t. A song for Pauly B, Decade gigs including heat exhaustion and lots of cocaine (the guests), delivery chat, Harry Potter, George’s 80s gig, Ben’s session drumming plus Tom Of The Week and the Drum Dumpster are back. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, BEN FINALLY MADE IT TO JURASSIC GRILL; even if it did cost him a whole bottle of wine. Enjoy!
