Drummers on Drumming

The Drum Panel: Stealing Feel, Perfect Drum Takes, and Defining Pocket


Listen Later

Episode 4 of The Drum Panel

This week's guests are my good buddies Kris Mazzarisi (owner/founder of Big Fat Snare Drum), and Mark Stepro (The Wallflowers, Butch Walker).

In this episode, we dive into:

  • If we could steal one drummers’s feel and add it to our own, who would it be?
  • What is an example of a perfect drum take on record?
  • What does “pocket” ACTUALLY mean?
  • What is the role of drummers in songwriting credits?
  • Does music theory really make one a better musician?
  • What’s the first thing we notice about a drummer that makes them come across as “amateur”?
