Music college is expensive. Like freaking expensive. But is it worth it in the long run? Today we have our good friend (and ridiculously talented drummer) David Cola to share with us some of his wisdom on the matter and to give us more of an insight of what his experience was like at Berklee College Of Music. We also take a look at Benny Greb’s tribute to Vinnie Colaiuta in his new video w/ Meinl titled “I’m tweaked.” PLUS me and Mark are finally together in the same room and are friends again!

Holy smokes. I had the privilege and honor to sit down with Carson Gant of One Up Drum Vids and talk a little more about his approach to grooving, pockets, and feel. And man, he blew my mind. SO excited about this one. We are also talking about the Yamaha 50th anniversary at Musicians Institute, Mark ripping his bass drum head off during the middle of a performance, my kick pedal breaking during a show, and other things that are more relevant than that. This episode is a game changer. That’s a joke. We aren’t that cocky. #drumbeatspodisgamechangin
