Phil and Jon are back in a newly revamped studio B with a topic suggested by a member of our listening audience. This week we discuss the pros and cons of playing with recordings versus playing with live musicians. The request was sent to us in regar... more
In the field of drumming we all have heroes. Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, John Bonham, Vinnie Colaiuta, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd and the list goes on and on. However, we often overlook the unsung heroes of drumming, the teachers. In the past few years... more
After a rather lengthy absence, we present to you the reemergence of the Drummer’s Weekly Groovecast Advisory Board. The board is back after skipping season three and we’re welcoming several new members to this season’s show. Our in-studio co-host is... more
Tribute bands have been around for quite a long time. However, over the last several years they’ve become significantly more prevalent and a viable alternative to the original artist. In fact, some will even say that many tribute acts perform the mus... more
Just like that, we are halfway through the fourth season of the Drummer’s Weekly Groovecast. The midway point means it is due time for another edition of listener mail. Phil and Jon begin the show discussing the audience response to the new episodes.... more
Since we started doing the artist feature segment approximately two years ago it has become one of the most popular formats for this podcast. Ultimately it has provided some of the best listener feedback. Last season we featured the great Sonny Payne... more
We begin the show with a quick callback to our season four premiere and then talk about social media issues. Ultimately there has been a bit of confusion regarding listeners following the wrong account on Instagram. Phil and the podcast only have one... more
This week we welcome legendary drummer, Steve Smith, to the Groovecast for the first interview of the fourth season. Steve was gracious enough to speak with us just before a series of dates with Journey that culminates in a three-week residency at Ca... more
Listened to many of these podcasts, I like the question type best of all but all are great
Great podcast for all drummers. I particularly like the artist appreciation/analysis episodes
Excellent critiques by you guys on Sonny’s drumming. Great show!
I'm only a few episodes deep but I already really like what these guys offer. Very informal and candid; like a breakfast hang at 3am after a late gig. Interviews are insightful and the questions are very thoughtful. Thanks guys! Looking forward to checking out the rest of the back catalog of episodes.
Phil and Jon share a wealth of knowledge that spans a wide variety of topics that can be informative to young players who are just on the brink of playing out on a regular basis all the way up to the touring/session professionals. Humor is a wonderful thing and must be kept close in just about any work environment, especially music and these guys stay true to that within reasonable limitations. Sounds like they certainly have fun, genuinely love each other and respect drums, music history, for... more
These guys have a great, and often humorous, perspective on all aspects of drumming. Great interviews too. They’re super hip to the ins an outs of drumming.
Love the rapport between the host and his guests! And they cover a nice variety of topics for drummers and just anyone interested in learning about the music business.
I've been listening to Phil and John going on a year now, and their topics and interviews are always on point. Whether you just like playing drums for fun, or are an industry veteran, or are involved in a different area of the music industry, you can learn something from DWG. Keep up the great work!
I listen to a number of podcasts for drummers and I find this among the very best. The topics range from interviews, to situations to education to technique. I particulary enjoy when the guys focus on a single influential drummer and analyze their style and technique, plus recommend what to listen to and what to listen for. The real test for me is how they make a topic that I think I'm gonna hate extremely interesting, like, for example, orchestral drumming. Phil plays straight man to Jon's dry ... more
Drummer’s Weekly Groovecast has quickly become my favorite podcast. My friend turned me on to this show a few months ago and I’ve become obsessed with it. I’m going back and working my way through the episodes and looking forward to getting caught up one of these days! Phil and John cover the subjects that I want to gain insight into as a working drummer and they make it fun and interesting They have a great rapport and they offer a wealth of knowledge and experience the listener can draw from... more
Great podcast. Love that you actually delve into the music and explain it. Glad I stumbled on to your site. You mentioned on one of your podcast that you had done a Jeff Poccaro podcast can you please send me the link. Thank you and good work. I am have missed spelled Jeff’s surname but he is a legend.
Thanks Al
I just discovered these guys a few months ago, thanks to Dan Radin and his Drum Showroom podcast. Phil and Jon are great hosts, and cover a wide variety of always interesting drumming topics. Some of my favorite episodes have been the interviews: Scott Meeder, Lil' John Roberts, and John DeCristopher.
These guys are never boring - and LOVE drums and drumming. They are really dedicated to helping drummers improve their craft.
I started listening to the podcast a month or two ago. I have since listened to every single episode. I’ve enjoyed every one and appreciate The work that must go in to creating this podcast.
I’ve learned a lot about being a professional working drummer and about The music business, gear and some great underrated drummers. You guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. I’ll be listening👍🏻
As a drummer who took up the hobby a bit later in life than is the norm, I look for information that will help me make up for lost time. This pod certainly does that in spades. In addition to the helpful and timely insight provided, I also find myself laughing out loud nearly every show. Being fun and informative, I will continue listening for the long term. Thank you, Phil and Jon.
Very entertaining and insightful podcast by two of the best drummers that I know. Informative for all musicians and music lovers, great interviews; I love the underrated drummer segments. Well worth your time. Check it out.
