Buddy Gibbons returns to Gig Gab to share how he’s gearing up for a nostalgia-fueled tour with Stephen Glickman and the Big Time Rush fanbase. From rollerblading around Wembley to off-road RC cars for downtime, Buddy’s prepping body and mind for the grind. He and Dave dig into how playing without a click can feel naked, why RokTempo and Russian Dragon are essential tools, and how the right gear—like the Porter & Davies BC2 throne—can make your kick and toms feel right. It’s all about showing up tight, calm, and pro-ready.
If you’re into tech and tone, this episode’s your playground. Buddy walks through his road rig: Roland SPD-SX Pro, Ableton Live, internal drum mounts, and the timeless Slingerland Radio King snare. He also weighs in on using AR glasses like XREAL AIR on the road, and shares what it’s like losing a loop mid-set on In The Air Tonight. It all comes down to trust—between you, your bandmates, and your gear. So pack your comforts, tune your kit, and Always Be Performing.
