The Drum Panel: Every one of my friend's drum sets sounds better than mine.
This Drum Panel episode picks up where we left off with Brendan Buckley (Shakira, Morrissey, Perry Farrell) and Gunnar Olsen (Puscifer, Mother Feather). If you missed Part 1, you’ll still follow along just fine—but it’s worth a listen.
We dive right in with drummer nightmares before moving into bigger conversations about finding your own sound, overcoming roadblocks, and balancing identity as both artist and “brand.”
Inside this episode:
Drummer nightmares on stage – including Brendan’s Shakira story that started as a trio
Bad advice worth ignoring – why “you need to play everything” isn’t always the path
Finding your own voice – doubling down on what makes you unique instead of being a jack of all trades
Hi-hat obsession – tone, touch, and why small changes shift the whole vibe
Roadblocks and breakthroughs – Gunnar’s kick pedal “yips” and Brendan’s double bass practice insights
Kit setups and identity – how your drum layout shapes your playing more than you think
Brand vs. authenticity – do drummers really need to market themselves, or is being great enough?
