Jost’s thoughts on perfection, whether rudiments are really the answer to playing music on the drums, taking chances and removing yourself from a comfortable place in life to start something new, is all amazing insight. To have an hour to listen to our chat, in person, about all of this and more will hopefully provide listeners with some invaluable knowledge right here in this podcast. Just imagine if you had an hour with Jost and he offered his time to you for free. Would you take it?

Kaz projects so much positivity. His spirit for music and giving back to the drumming community is quite exceptional and his take on gratitude is a great reminder for every drummer out there. Getting a chance to hear his process with how he understands music is also incredibly interesting.

Curt has had over 30 years of experience in this industry and has seen a lot of change. He isn’t entirely happy with the changes but he still loves music. You will hear his emotive explanation about how he has been beat detected in the studio for years. He is tired of that and wants to play music without a click. To hear this from Curt was incredibly powerful. This episode is filled with Curt’s truth. This was a wonderfully unfiltered and organic conversation between people who have a deep love for musi

Jared has insight that can only really come from a handful of people in the drum industry and perhaps even less within the tech/media space. Jared loves data and studying the market, and uses that data to make better decisions within Drumeo. In this interview, you will hear about his thoughts on the current state of the industry, how he and Drumeo are making efforts to keep drummers drumming, and how he balances this all within his personal life.

I had the best time hanging out with Mike and discussing his career and thoughts. A lot of interesting points came up that I think will inspire you to work hard and not beat yourself up over rejection. Mike could have easily thrown in the towel and said to himself that drumming professionally wasn’t meant for him to do as a career. “Nothing good is easy, and nothing easy is good.” I think this applies directly to Mike’s career and I really respect him for sticking with it and making something great

With so many conversations with friends and the artists I have interviewed, I get the sense that those who push the hardest for growth yield a better life. We can all benefit from looking deep within ourselves to find the thing that excites us to work hard and desire something truly fulfilling. In this episode, we take a deep dive into this subject matter. Taking the time to explore the unknown, face our fears, and realize that we all should be accepting of great things for ourselves is a lifetime of work.

A great deal of these interviews feature guests who are “drummer’s drummers” who have reached some kind of profound ability and understanding of their instrument and therefore end up working with many different artists and mediums. Far less of them are with drummers who play for a popular rock band only, like Chris. So, with that being said this interview gives off a very relatable message to drummers who are dedicated to one group.
