Drummers on Drumming

The Drum Panel: The Ultimate Compliment, Jazz Study—Essential or Overrated?, and Is the Band Drummer Era Over?

Listen Later

Episode 6 of The Drum Panel

This week's guests are two of my favorite drummers and people, Sarab Singh (MUNA) and Adam Christgau (Tegan and Sara).

In this episode, we dive into:

  • What’s the greatest compliment a drummer can get, and does it truly matter?
  • How do others really describe your playing style—are you sure you'd agree?
  • Should every drummer dive into jazz, or is it a skill only some truly need?
  • Has the golden era of iconic bands come to an end, or is it just evolving?
  • Are music schools churning out technical robots at the cost of creative souls?
  • Is practicing on pillows with heavy sticks a hidden secret or just a myth?
  • Are quintuplets and sextuplets essential or a complete waste of practice time?
