  • A great iconversation with all sots of drummers

    What I love about Matty is his ability to submit a question and let the guest speak and naturally take things from there, more often than not, covering most questions a listener would like to ask them selves! The youtube channel is great if you can watch as well as listen!

  • Essential Listening for Drummers

    What can I say? The host asks all the right questions and the conversations unfold naturally which for me... is perfect.

    For younger players, this will probably feel like a history lesson covering a music industry which doesn't exist any more. But take heed padawans, the lessons given about what it takes to be a successful drummer serving the music and your fellow players are as relevant today as they were in the past.

Gabi King - The 1975, Declan McKenna, Two Door Cinema Club, Years & Years
