What is up Drummers! We're back today with Episode #5 of The Up and Coming Drummer Podcast!

On today's show, we are talking with Decatur, Illinois very own Mason Ledbetter.

Many of you on social media have most likely came across Mason through his more commonly known handle, "MasonVpt". Mason is no stranger to the social media game. With around 9 years under his belt on youtube, and over 10 thousand followers on Instagram, Mason is the perfect example of a drummer who has built his brand through content creation!

In this episode, we discuss his career on youtube. Mason covers a wide variety of songs from bands in many different genres. You can also see many groove and fill style videos, along with gear reviews on many of the different products he uses. Speaking of gear...Mason has a KILLER setup! We get into many of the different companies he endorses, and he talks about some of the newest things he's using including: Barton Drums, Legado Cymbals, Regal Tip Drumsticks, Drumtacs, TNR Products (booty shakers), Drumkubes, Spinbal, KBrakes, Cympad, Drumdial, Sweet Spot Clutches, Low Boy Beaters,  and Aquarian Drumheads.

One of the biggest take away's from the show was our discussion about growing on social media. Anyone who is getting into promoting themselves online, should definitely listen in, as Mason is a true veteran of the game, even at a young age!
