This episode is from a YouTube segment I do called Brewdiments. Find links to that channel and the video version on my website, www.therockdr.com 

Basically, there was too much gold in this conversation with Chris Gormley for me to not share it with y'all. So here's the full interview for your earholes. After a couple hours of private study with him, we talk shop on drums, rudiments for warmup, stretches and preventative exercise for the modern drummer and then we rip some calypso for one of my band's tune titled "Home". 

Chris, thank you for your time and great insight. Los Cabos Drumsticks, you're always rad and Dream Cymbals, you treated us right too. 

Follow Chris on Instagram at @chrisgormley77

Check out Towers and Trees for that banger of a theme song, "Head Down/Heart Up"

We don't think about all the problems until they become problems, right? Here's a quick minute with drummer Chris Gormley who discussed with me the other day why he incorporates preventative exercise in his warm up ritual even on the days he's feeling fine. 

Find Chris on tour with Canadian rockers The Trews (www.thetrewsmusic.com) and his own project, Daylight For Deadeyes

We dove into the archives again for a little nostalgia with a good friend, Luke Roes of the London pop-rock band, Ivory Hours. These dudes killed it back a couple years ago when they shared a bill of a couple of local Calgary acts at the Gateway and I was blown away. Now they're all over the airwaves, just about to release some more new music. Be sure to catch the chat between Luke and I as we talk shop on what it takes to craft a song, what it means to be a working musician and we also listen to a few tracks from their 2017 "Dreamworld" album. 

Check them out on Spotify and be the first to listen to their new single "Boys Club".

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ancient Echoes, a self-described eclectic, healing traditional group of musicians based out of Calgary. Take a listen to the full interview and consider stopping and diving inward with yourself through the power of music (and turn it up! My apologies on the interview volume.. we're working out the kinks on the new format live sessions...).

Check the group out at https://www.facebook.com/AncientEchoesYYC/ to stay up to date with all of their upcoming performances.

Don’t act like you’ve never scored a goal before the next time you get a big break in the game of life. Funny, the more you act like it’s just another day at the office, the more likely it will be. I wanna be in that office. Do you?
