February 22, 2024 Serious About Sound (Jono Heale - ACS)
This week we are talking about ear safety and who better to talk to than Jono Heale from ACS; one of the leading brands in hearing protection and in-ear monitors. Having been a professional bass player for 15 years Jono unfortunately developed tinnitus which completely changed his life. We talk about the impact that had on him and his career, the positive changes in attitude towards hearing protection, how loud drums are, listening exposure time and what you can do to protect yourself and how ACS can help. This is a great listen for all musicians and consumers of music. Enjoy!

February 15, 2024 You Don't Need Me But I Really Need You (Dean Llewellyn)
This week we are joined by the magnificent ‘Deano Machine’ aka Dean Llewellyn. Dean is an exceptional guitarist and plays in the band Barbara with previous guest Lawrie Miller. He is also friends with and gigs regularly with George so we thought we’d get a guitarist's point of view about drums and drummers. He regaled us with tales about gigs in hair salons, the weird world of joinmyband.com, ‘the lick’ and much more. With an upcoming tour supporting Paul Weller we talk about pressure, drum volume on stage and he flips the script and asks us what we want from guitarists. Enjoy!

February 08, 2024 Friends And Microsoft Word
It’s a bumper episode this week with plenty of drum chat. We both went to a 30th birthday party / jam night and George played at Icebreaker festival where hair extensions and guitar heads don’t mix. Our wallets have suffered as we’ve both been shopping for new drum gear with Ben getting a new stool, kick pedal, hi hat stand and crash and George picking up a second hand Gretsch Catalina kit. We also chat about Evans and Remo skins and the equivalent models they offer while George has been learning to make pizzas. Enjoy!

February 01, 2024 I Ate Myself Back To Normal (Jack Hicklin)
This week we are joined by Jack Hicklin! After studying at BIMM, Jack put drums on the back burner as he spent the following few years coaching tennis. Now with a renewed passion for drumming he’s prioritising his music career with regular gigs in both the covers and original circuits. We find out if there’s any similarities between high level tennis and high level drumming, the challenges of re-entering the drumming scene, not hearing back after auditions and most importantly how fast his tennis serve is. Enjoy!

January 25, 2024 Patina And The Waves
To clean or not to clean, that is the question. On this week’s episode we are talking about cymbal cleaning and why you should or maybe more importantly why you shouldn’t be doing it. Also Ben’s new hi hats get put under the microphone in the studio and we learn about the magic (or science) behind Bar Keepers Friend. Enjoy!

January 18, 2024 Maybe Be More Like A Squirrel
Hello! This week Ben finally buckled under the weight of public opinion and started watching The Traitors but has ruined his sleep schedule in the process. George has been on his croissant making course and played an 80th birthday party under difficult sound restrictions including a rhythmically challenged clapper. We also take a look at practice routines, the books George has been using to keep those drumsticks under control and breaking through plateaus. Enjoy!

January 11, 2024 Chasing That Sweet Calpol High
It’s been cold so Ben’s got his big coat on. George regales us of his triumphant pub quiz antics and we take a look at the Zildjian 400th anniversary snare drum which comes with a hefty price tag. We’ve had some more kit pics in and one of us is off on a croissant making course. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! On this first episode of 2024 we caught up on what we did over Xmas including Ben’s trip to New York and George’s busy working week. We also chat about our goals for 2024 in more detail, read out a lovely listener message, grabbing some new hi-hats from the Big Apple, and a night out including getting smashed, watching The Darkness and going to a casino with Hugh Grant (well, someone who looked like him).

December 28, 2023 Beef Stock In My Face (Xmas Special - Josh Rowe, Elliott Joseph and Neil Elliott)
We hope you had a good Christmas! Join us this week for our Xmas Special where we had a fun, in person chat with not one, not two but THREE guests! In what now appears to be an Xmas tradition we welcomed back Josh and Elliott but if that wasn’t enough we were also joined by the wonderful Neil Elliott. After some chat about jingle bells, gravity and George’s new Aldi shoes, Josh played the role of Santa delivering presents from his big sack. We then spoke about our highlights of 2023, the state of both live and recorded music in today’s climate and our goals for 2024. Stick around for the outro where Ben quizzes George on our podcast stats for the year. Enjoy!
