Drum For The Song Podcast

Thank you to Bob Richards for inviting me to his home studio to check out this incredible vintage Yamaha kit previously owned by the one and only Cozy Powell.

This was a short visit and we decided to record some footage using my phone. Before anyone complains about the audio, yes I know it's not professional quality but I'm sure some of you will still enjoy the content.

Please check out episode 7 of Drum For The Song podcast for a longer chat with Bob. In this podcast we chatted about A LOT, including the incredible story when Bob received a call to fill in for Phil Rudd for two ACDC music videos.

Wow! It's been an entire year since I released episode 50 with former Slipknot percussionist, Chris Fehn!

Who enjoyed this episode?

The video version of this episode is still being discovered and viewed today!

Today, I am thrilled to announce the release of episode 50 with a very special guest, great human and former percussionist of Slipknot, Chris Fehn. I am truly honoured to have had this opportunity because this is his very first interview since his departure from the band in 2019.

He has been a part of the metal industry for over two decades and has contributed significantly to the success and evolution of Slipknot with his incredible live performances and distinctive Pinoccio inspired mask.

In this episode, we chat about his time before Slipknot and some of his career highlights, playing drums on my dad's solo album 'Old Lions Still Roar', being blown away by Joey Jordisons drumming, playing bass guitar in the band Will Haven plus his future music plans.

The episode is available NOW from most good podcast providers and YouTube. Enjoy!

Question for my and listeners of the podcast.

If my podcast continued as a monthly AUDIO ONLY show via Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc and was NOT AVAILABLE to watch on YouTube, would you still listen in?

The reason I ask is because creating the video version of the show and uploading it to YouTube takes so much more time than working with audio only.

2023 has been a strange year for the podcast. Due to various band commitments, fatherhood and my new career in real estate, I've put out less content than previous years but also released my most popular episode thanks to Mr Chris Fehn 🙏

Here are some interesting figures from ! It's great to see there are still a bunch of you listening to the show, so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

I'm not sure exactly what next year will bring as it's safe so say that making the podcast is no longer one of my top priorities but hopefully I can still put out some content every now and again.

Thanks for listening!

It's been a crazy, busy October so unfortunately I won't be releasing an episode of DFTS this month, but if you really can't go another four weeks without listening to me waffle, Ryan from Beyond The Vibe Podcast has saved the day as he invited me onto his show.

Happy Halloween to all of my listeners!

One I thing I forgot to bring up in the recent episode with Chris Fehn was that I wore his stage outfit and mask that he gifted to my dad to a Halloween party exactly 10 years ago today!

Drum For The Song Podcast is back! 🎧

Thanks to all of you regular listeners who have been patient while I took a temporary step back from working on the show. I'm still not in the position to promise a new episode every month but we will see how it goes.

Episode 51 features the very charismatic, musical instrument industry veteran at EMD Drums & my artist relations contact for Remo Inc. and formerly Stagg Music (official) Phil Woods.

As usual we had a great chat about the industry, Phil's multiple roles within EMD Music including artist relations and customer services, product knowledge, endorsement applications, his love of the band Rush and much more.

Apologies for being quiet recently. As some of you know I've been super busy with the band and becoming a dad ❤

Thanks for the support!

Checkout former podcast guest and Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren featured on Drumeo where he we asked to play along to Mr Brightside by The Killers.

This video is amazing for two reasons.

It's quite remarkable that Dirk hadn't heard the song before.

The way he interpreted the drum parts with the half-time groove during the verse sounds great and really alters the overall feel of the song in a way I've never heard it before.

Overall, this a really cool exercise! What do you guys think?

The Killers go metal? Dirk Verbeuren from Megadeth has a diverse musical background, primarily playing rock and metal but also listening to jazz, fusion, pop...

I never thought I'd EVER say this but my latest podcast episode with Chris Fehn currently has over 100,000 views! This is arguably over 99,000 more than what the average episode will reach. Crazy times and another massive milestone reached!

If you watched it on YouTube, thank you! Feel free to leave a comment if you haven't already and hit the like button so YouTube keeps showing it to potential viewers.

Thanks again to Chris for giving me the opportunity to chat with him 🙏

Roughly 600 of these are thanks to Mr Chris Fehn and the latest episode with him, but I've reached another milestone - 2000 YouTube subscribers!

I don't like to describe myself as a 'YouTuber' as I don't make content specifically for that platform. I'm more of a musician and podcaster who also uploads stuff to YouTube, so 2000 subs is a great achievement for me 👏

Will I ever reach 3000? Please subscribe to my channel if you're not already doing so.
