Episode 25: 5 Records That Will Finally Get You Into Jazz…if you were intimidated like me and never knew where to start w/ Anthony Fung

May 27, 2020 | 0 comments

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always believed that, in order to be a better drummer, I need to listen to more jazz and more importantly…jazz drummers. You know…cause that’s what everyone tells us right? Well, I’ve found EVERY way possible to avoid getting into the genre because, quite frankly, it’s intimidating, I don’t know where to start, and I don’t know what to listen for. That's why I wanted to get my good friend and even gooder drummer, Anthony Fung, on the show to give me (and I guess you too) his choice of the 5 records to...

Today is another episode of Behind The Company w/ the baldmen themselves…Danny and Mike of Baldman Percussion…creators of The Junk Hat. Big Fat Snare Drum shared a booth with the boys at Winter NAMM 2020 and it was a pleasure getting to know these two goofballs so I’m happy to have them on the show to talk about the story of how they met, the humble beginnings of The Junk Hat, and their plans for the future. I had a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy! Today’s episode is brought to you by Clearsound Baffles. Clearsound Baffles are a transparent,...

E-man also provides remote recordings via his home studio and definitely knows how to get great sounds…check out his Instagram and YouTube Channel to see what I mean. I wanted to get him on the show to breakdown his favorite plugins he uses to record/mix and why. Again, I’m just as much of an audience member as you are for this one…so I was excited to hear what he had to say. He is also releasing a YouTube video...

Episode 21: The Dichotomous Life of Working in the Music Industry w/ Sahir Hanif

Apr 29, 2020 | 0 comments

Today's guest is Sahir (aka Sai) Hanif...owner of Masters of Maple drums and Ghost Tech Touring. Sai has the oh-so-common task of wearing many hats within the music industry so I wanted to get him on the show to discuss the dichotomy of being the top dog as a Production Manager one day and then switching to more of a compliment to action as a studio drum tech the next (all while running a successful drum company). Sai explains the main roles for each job, but his stories and advice will serve as a great resource on how to navigate the...
