Drummers on Drumming

The Drum Panel: Self-Promotion, Authenticity in Pop Gigs, and the Double Pedal Dilemma

Episode 12 of The Drum Panel


Welcome to The Drum Panel—a show where a rotating group of professional drummers engages in roundtable discussions pertaining to all things DRUM.


Today, we've got two fantastic guests joining the conversation:


First up is Eric Leiderman. Eric is a producer at Late Night with Seth Meyers, where for years he oversaw the rotating drummer chair—regularly bringing in incredible drummers to fill in with the 8G Band when bandleader Fred Armisen couldn't be there. Eric’s done a ton to elevate the drumming community, and we’re stoked to have him on.


We're also joined by Neal Daniels, an amazing drummer who's worked with artists like Liz Phair, LP, and Matchbox Twenty. Neal always brings thoughtful perspectives to the panel, and we’re excited to have him back.


Today we discuss:

  • How can drummers authentically promote themselves online without feeling fake?
  • How do we maintain our artistic voice while making a living playing pop gigs?
  • Is recording yourself the key to growth?
  • Should every drummer learn double pedal?
  • How can drummers practice self-compassion?
  • Which historic recording session would you have loved to witness?
