This week it’s Ben’s turn to head up to Newcastle for a friend’s wedding. From busy KFCs, getting locked out of his room, big grassy breasts, a few Guinni and trying not to be in ‘function band mode’ there’s plenty of good stuff for your ears. Congrats to Jamie and Paula! Enjoy!

George has been up north for some more Lainey shows in Newcastle and Edinburgh where they stayed at a Go Ape, walked up a big hill and he had a slightly clumsy walk onto the stage. Ben’s found a drum he’s been looking for for 12 years and has finally ditched the jeans for gigs. Enjoy!

Is this the day the music died? Ben is questioning his gigging career after playing a surprise wedding which didn’t exactly go to plan and George gigged in central London battling parking and meeting ladies with disco balls for heads. Enjoy!

On this week’s show we talk about recession proof biscuits, cooking meat, batteries and after a long, and final, chat about what constitutes a tour we decide to form the ‘Tour Police’. George runs us through his recent gigs in Southampton and Liverpool, Ben’s added more charts to DRUMCHARTS.CO.UK and asks will George ever be in an originals band again? Enjoy!

We start this week's episode with some listener drummer pet peeves before talking about Ben’s first Wonder Year gig of 2026. George has started his “tour” with the Lainey Wilson Experience but if one show isn’t enough he’s also in the backing band for the headliner; it’s all going well but he did have to go to Swansea. We also chat about paying for parking while drumming and has Ben found the bargain of the year at Graham Russell Drums? Enjoy!

Ben’s been to Barcelona on a stag do and put his new spine through its paces, sightseeing, playing escape rooms and maybe consuming the odd pina colada. We also have a good chat about going up and down the drumming ‘ladder’, looking back and forward at your career and appreciating your achievements. Enjoy!

George took it easy this weekend with just two gigs and a 50 mile bike ride. Ben had his first gig back after spinal surgery playing in front of UK metalcore legends Bury Tomorrow and despite a sound limiter, a crashing iPad and some discomfort it went well. Inspired by a Reddit post we also talk about drumming pet peeves. Enjoy!

George had a busy weekend gigging in the Midlands with two different tribute acts and eating too many burgers. We also chat about custom kick skins and whilst they’re great, they can make life hard when playing for multiple acts. Ben introduces his new kitten, Pearl, how to add some spice to watching University Challenge and a mystery accident in his pants. Enjoy!
