Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 7: Kentucky Derby Edition!

But wait. No guest? That's right!

Part of the idea behind starting this show wasn't always having a guest. It was a continuance of the conversations that we were having on a daily basis anyways. Whether it was current events, drumming videos, or in this case, some sad news about Sam Ash Music Stores. #RIPSamAsh.

This episode features our opinions on certain bands trying to be secretive and clever regarding their new drummer, how Dad feels about the Kentucky Derby (today) , whether or not this is Dream Theater's last hurrah and our memories of Sam Ash and what it means for musicians going forward.

Tell us what you think. Do you like the one-on-one's like this? Any guests/topics you'd like to see on the show?

Let us know! We appreciate any and all feedback.

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 6! In this episode, we are joined by a fantastic guest and someone we have been wanting to speak with for some time, David Northrup!!

First and foremost, who's a fan of the new intro? I know our guest is. For those unfamiliar with David, his body of work includes working with Wynonna Judd, Travis Tritt (2000-2009), Joe Diffie, Doug Stone, Tanya Tucker, Lila McCann, Jo De Messina, Jo-El Sonnier, Pam Tillis, Ty Herndon, Lee Greenwood, Connie Smith, Gene Watson, Deborah Allen, Louise Mandrel, Rock Legend John Waite, The James Brown Horns, John Mellencamp, Guitarist Les Dudek, Jam Band Sensation The Disco Biscuits, and the Oak Ridge Boys, just to name a few.

This once again was an absolutely fantastic show! As you can see, Dad's back and we aren't slowing down. David talks about why he became a drummer, his journey around the country and upbringing, his faith and how it plays a part in his life, and what life can be like as a studio drummer.

David gives us the "tell-all" and talks about his time on the road, his family, a fun concert story you won't want to miss and so much more in this jam-packed episode that we didn't want to stop.

David will most definitely be a returning guest.

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 5! In this episode, we are joined by an amazing guest, ANOTHER one of the first followers that we got on the podcast, Paul Christiansen!

 

First and foremost, many of you will notice it was just Matt this episode and that was due to scheduling conflicts and we didn't want to make you guys wait any longer for this amazing episode! We start the conversation once again with the penultimate question. Why Drums? Paul's answer is really a testament to how you feel you can be on one path and end up taking a different one entirely.

We have to say, we had a blast just going down who influences Paul as a drummer, how he's been a drum teacher for YEARS and what that means to him as well as discussing his various bands over the years, including his current project, Pathos and Logos.

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 4! In this episode, we are joined by an amazing guest, one of the first followers that we got on the podcast, Steve Colucci!

First and foremost, we talk about "why the drums"? .

Colucci takes us through bashing on pots and pans and chairs and making his way to a drum set and his first drumming influences and how that has shaped who he is today. This episode is a perfect embodiment of what we are trying to accomplish on the show.

We invited Steve on because of his support and to expand our community not because he was a famous drummer or an influencer. And throughout this episode, the latter may not be true. Steve's stories start anywhere from motivating others, chops and grooves, and even a most fascinating story about a drummer you may know in Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett! This is a story that had Matt speechless and if you've watched the show, you'd see that doesn't come often!

In this episode, we are joined by a guest that both Dad and I had stumbled across on Instagram in the past few months, in Dylan Dekker. Dekker’s unique style and talent really stuck out to us both and we were so happy to get him on the show with us.

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 2!

In this episode, we are joined by a very special guest, the drummer from Solar Federation, a Rush Tribute band, Jeff Herb! We dive right into the impact that  the one, the only, the professor, Neil Peart of Rush had on all of our lives and how Jeff (referred to as Ffej as that is his stage name since childhood) started this amazing tribute. 

We dive into the life of a tribute band drummer, what Rush meant to him and how he has carried this torch for the past ten years and hopefully many many more. Ffej really brought a fun energy to our episode tonight and we had a blast talking to him. 

We introduced our first appearance of a question we will be asking every single one of our guests but you'll have to watch/listen to find out what it is and what Ffej had to say about it.

As mentioned in the episode, you can catch Solar Federation playing March 9 at Halftime Sports Bar and Music in Newark Delaware and March 23 at Mickey's Black Box in Lititz, PA for Ffej's 50th birthday bonanza.

Special shout-out to co-host Troy as it is his birthday this week and we want to make sure that he rings in 60 with style. Happy Birthday Dad!

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast! Co-Hosts and Father-Son Duo Matt and Troy Quiggins will be back each episode to bring you another discussion regarding the impact that music has had on our lives. In this episode, friend of the show and friend to Troy and Matt for the last 10 years joins us to talk about the 4th anniversary of the passing of the legend, the one, the only, the professor, Neil Peart of Rush. We dive in with backgrounds on how music impacted each of our lives and how we all ended up playing drums. We discuss what Rush meant to us and the first time each of us experienced the wonder that was, whether it was vinyl, cd or live. We even ended with our top 5 most influential drummers, even though most of us (all) couldn't limit it to just 5. This show is really about us taking our daily conversation and turning it into a bi-weekly show that hopefully you all will enjoy!
