Thanks for checking out episode 6 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring Ash Sheehan who is seriously one of the best drummers I've ever seen! Ash plays drums for 'The Voice Of Rock' Glenn Hughes, The Twang but he also plays drums and sings lead vocals in his own band Dead Sea Skulls

We talk about his Irish Traveller family history and how he got into music, his biggest influences including Buddy Rich and more. He also explains how he got the job for Glenn Hughes after supporting him with Dead Sea Skulls and promising Glenn that he would "Smash the set to bits!" He also highlights the importance of practicing and warming up and has lots of great advice for upcoming drummers.

Thanks for checking episode 4 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring Matt Sorum - superstar drummer previously of Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult, The Hollywood Vampires and more! This is a truly fascinating conversation with the man who played drums on November Rain and toured the world with one of the biggest rock bands of all time.

Matt talks about how he ended up joining Guns N' Roses after Slash and Duff McKagan saw him play with The Cult. He also describes how the Use Your Illusion and The Spaghetti Incident albums were recorded and how he eventually got into songwriting with Slash for the Slash's Snakepit project. He also has a funny story about how he discovered dance music at a foam party in Ibiza with Slash. He talks about his blues project with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and how he had to revise his blues shuffles on the drums. He speaks fondly of his brief time touring as drummer for Motorhead while Mikkey Dee was temporarily unavailable and how he loved playing with Lemmy and Phil Campbell - my dad. Matt also goes into detail about his soon to be released app 'Artbit' which was designed to help musicians, dancers and artists get paid for their exposure online while offering charity donations. He also talks about his new beer 'The Drummer Beer' which I personally cannot wait to try!
