Drummers on Drumming

Welcome to the Big Fat Snare Drum Podcast. Today Ben sits down with Preston Parsons of Vessel Drum Company. They discuss the basics of drum construction and why boutique drum companies are such an essential niche in the drum community.

Welcome to the Big Fat Snare Drum Podcast. This is part 2 of Ben's conversation with Joe Clegg. Soo, if you haven’t listened to part one…I don’t know why you clicked on this…but go back and listen to the beginning. Ok…enjoy!

Today Ben talks with Joe Clegg…who, if you listened to episode 1, is a big part of the beginning of Big Fat Snare Drum. Joe is a drummer and Musical Director associated with acts such as Ellie Goulding, Mumford and Sons, Clean Bandit, Sigrid and many more. With the growing popularity and somewhat daunting subject of hybrid drumming, Joe breaks down some tips n tricks on how to approach the subject and bring it into your playing. Believe me, if you want to be working drummer today…you need to know this stuff. Enjoy part 1 of my interview with Joe Clegg.

Welcome to the first episode of The Big Fat Snare Drum Podcast!...a podcast that snags insight and advice from the often-unsung heroes of our drumming community. In this show, we'll talk about the things you might not know unless you’re a full-time session or touring player. Furthermore, we’ll hound some of our favorite drummers on their techniques, how they developed their unique playing style, approach to songwriting, and specific sonic goals. And as we all know, drummers are known to be a little scatterbrained so expect us to throw in a few curveballs.

In this inaugural episode, you get to meet us...the hosts! 

Enjoy the babbling nonsense of Owner/Founder of Big Fat Snare Drum, Kris Mazzarisi, and Artist Relations Manager, Ben Hilzinger as we discuss the origin of both our friendship and Big Fat Snare Drum. Cheers!
