    Been following this podcast for over a year and it’s by far my absolute favourite. Both Ben and Alex are hilarious and they bring it together with good in depth research of drummers or drum related content. Big up to the boys 💪

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Abe Cunningham, Word Play & The Haunted House
Q: What keeps a band going through tough periods?
A culture of friendship and mutual support, where members show up for each other and maintain open dialogue, helps bands endure; if everyone remains invested and communicates, momentum can be sustained even through challenges.
Abe Cunningham, Word Play & The Haunted House
Q: When do you know it's the right time to quit being in a band?
The hosts discuss that open, honest communication and shared commitment are crucial; if the energy and momentum dip, groups should talk through concerns, reassess goals, and consider stepping away to preserve friendships and personal well-being.
Interview: Adam 'Nolly' Getgood
Q: What has been the most valuable takeaway from working with top drummers like Benny Greb and Craig Reynolds?
He emphasizes learning from great players, focusing on how to tune, mic, and shape drums for each session, and acknowledging the unique approaches of every drummer rather than imposing a single method.
James Gadson, Iconic Grooves & Pinstriped Suits
Q: Ringo, Paul McCartney, love or hate?
The hosts engage with fans in a lighthearted Q&A and discuss their opinions on observing various artists and public figures, indicating a fun, casual engagement rather than a serious political or musical critique.
Femi Koleoso, Flare Smoke & Arsenal
Q: How did Ben get so good at accents?
The hosts acknowledge that accent skills come from exposure, practice, and playful experimentation, often drawing on memories of watching films and shows to imitate voices, while keeping the humor light.
