Drummers on Drumming

The Drum Panel: Our Guilty Pleasures, Drum Trolls, and the IG Cheating Debate

Listen Later

Episode 8 of The Drum Panel

This week, Eric (@ericsurrea) is back!...alongside our newest bestie George Martinez (@skinnygeorge).

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Are ghost notes the modern-day equivalent of skinny jeans—cool now but overdone?
  • How do you strike the right balance between technical precision and feel in your playing?
  • Are dynamics the single most important factor in making a drummer sound great?
  • Why is it so challenging to produce a high-quality drum part on the spot?
  • Are tambourines and shakers actually more essential than toms?
  • What are the guilty-pleasure drum songs we secretly love to play but would never admit to?
  • Is a rubber practice pad less effective than a gel pad or pillow for improving your playing?
  • Are self-taught drummers at a disadvantage in the long run?
  • What’s the best way to handle trolls in the drumming community?
  • Is quantizing your Instagram drum videos considered cheating?
