  • One of the better drumming related podcasts out there

    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.

  • This is crazy-good stuff!

    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

  • Varied, Topical and Very Well Done

    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

  • Love this podcast!

    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.

  • Just What I Need

    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.
