Kris Mazzarisi (@Bigfatsnaredrum) is a drummer, entrepreneur and a full-time hustler.

Aside from being the creator of Big Fat Snare Drum, Kris has filled the role of touring drummer with LMFAO, Redfoo and most currently, his brother Matthew Koma.

Kris has done it all. Marketer, Computer Specialist, Touring Tech, Touring Drummer, Inventor, and now Business Owner - Kris has been around the block and he excitedly shares how he continues to work at light speed... In so much detail, actually, that you should be able to go out and do it too.

Playing the drums professionally is about so much more than simply being a great drummer. Kris perfectly explains how to situate yourself to create big fat opportunities.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk with Kris about his first jobs, his big move to L.A, landing a big gig, his daily routines, and the birth of Big Fat Snare Drum, of course.

Needless to say, I had so much fun talking that we broke our conversation into two parts so you have the option to sit and digest the conversation. I would recommend you listen through this a few times and take some notes or leave a comment here.
