Drummers on Drumming

The 2nd mouse started asking questions...

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. We’re back with my bestest mouse, Chance Famighetti, aka Free Arlo. Last week we covered how he bluffed his way into the drum chair for Nicky Youre only to be replaced by me :) This time, we go deeper.

We discuss self-worth tied to art, the stress of carrying your own project versus the ease of being a hired gun, and why chasing fame can warp the very reason we make music in the first place. Chance opens up about struggling with persona-over-songs culture, learning to let go of the algorithm, and building a career that actually feels good.

We also get into:

• How live gigs shape your sound more than the practice room
• Eye contact on stage and the strange intimacy of being watched
• Pocket aces, missed opportunities, and knowing when to shift plans
• Free Arlo’s new music and finding pride in the work again
