DRUMS?

We might be past the statute of limitations to wish you a Happy New Year according to Mr. Larry David, but who cares! This week we mourn the loss of Jordan (he's alive as far as we know), explain why we haven't put out an episode for the last couple weeks, we get down and drum with the sickness, Nate sets his head on fire, we can't play like Akira Jimbo, and we talk about plans for the podcast moving forward.

Jordan's last episode! We tell a couple of gross stories, Nate is in Chicago playing a show, getting too high, Nate watched Civil War, we listen to a couple of voicemails, a day off at Chili’s, Sleep Token, bands with masks, the best Christmas movies, and we sing you a carol.

The four of us chat about fruit, they spray the tomatoes with Dr. Pepper, how much does drum hardware cost, in defense of flat-base stands, Jordan and Nate make a deal, the Spotify Wrapped, we get sort of philosophical about how music is genre-less, Moana 2, Wicked, Timmy Chal*met and Anne Hath*way ruin everything, bass players we've played with, Reed has never believed in Santy Clause, chicken legs, and the 13 year old Nate voice is back.

Long time coming! We chat with Zach Lind of Jimmy Eat World about Ska bars, how they've stayed together for so long, getting dropped from Capitol, making Bleed American, learning to play with a click, working with Gil Norton, the song he wishes they'd put on a record, being a band for 30 years, his love for Bill Berry of REM, they've had some cool people help along the way, David Bazan, teching his own drums in the studio, and his current setup.

Shorty this week. I would apologize, but Nate said to never say we were sorry. We listen to some voicemails and talk about drum sizes, muffling, and seeing good shows.

We're back! We do literally 20 minutes on the history of the pricing for the Big Mac, Nate is a 4 item guy, Crunchwrap reins supreme, nutrition facts, the best and worst backline kits, David Letterman, playing late night, acrylic drums, remember Peavey drums and First Act guitars?, we have a couple of voicemails, boys speak in rhythm, more Jimmy Eat World talk, Ben is Emo royalty, we make fun of Coldplay for a while, and Jordan is leaving the pod soon.

Recorded on the spookiest day of the year. We talk about we all wear a mask, Reed hurt his eye, it's giving double click, full stop, we must end the use of the penny, we listen to a few voicemails, uh oh the hard drive, Gene Simmons, give me the money Lebowski, Stephen King, drummers that are dead, and we do 20 minutes on Tom Hanks and stick bags.

We talk to Ben Barter from his new home studio in LA about how he’s from New Zealand, building his space, learning to record, playing a lot of electronic triggers with Lorde, his preference is neither, it would be sick to not even have a crash, bleeding from his head during a show, how he got the Lorde gig, Espresso Jazz, Mr. Bean, buying vintage gear, we deep on nostalgia and how it relates to house music, and we do some monitor mix talk.

Our luckiest episode! We talk about all drum parts are the same, Nate has technical difficulties, we go deep on the kick pattern, wood snares are stupid, touring with a sewing machine, we answer some questions, and it gets a little chippy when we talk about the best records from a few bands, and what bands are underrated.

We talk to Josh Eppard from Coheed and Cambria about how they got signed, the only thing that matters is the perfect demo, Woodstock ‘94, being the odd man out in their scene, me and the guys over here at the office, hearing Thursday for the first time, his journey to get sober and re-join the band, he’s one Oreo Pie away from saying “f*ck it,” playing open-handed and tilting his cymbals.
