Today we welcome to the show Georgia-native Kyle Law, a Nashville-based live and session musician currently touring with hard-rock country artist Tim Montana. Kyle shares his insights on prepping for Broadway gigs versus artist gigs, work-life balance, how to keep gigs and choose subs, and his method for learning complex drum parts, including his time with Nashville-based Tool cover band, Rosetta. Kyle talks about his experiences on the road, his transition from country rock to hard rock, and the importance of camaraderie among band members. Amid the usual banter and shirtless antics, we touch on mental health challenges, the importance of having multiple skills in the industry, and Kyle's recent endorsement with WFLIII Drums. We hope you enjoy!
