    Hey, I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast in Australian drummers. I don’t want to do something that someone else is doing. I’d be interested in talking to you about what you do. I’ll have a listen to episode 1 which is about a singer that had s great drummer in tiny Floyd but it made me wonder about what you’re doing.
