EPISODE 20: Hanging with Mel & Riz (not Kim)

Andy was unable to attend this one so we have Mel and Riza in for an informal chat about all sorts including Comets!! (Oddly)

We talk about some of the stuff we are working on, and discuss how Posh Mel is of course...

We also talk a little about how we record our drum videos. I think a more in-depth chat about that may come later..

Enjoy and Thanks for Listening

Matt, Andy, Mel and Riza :) (Oh and Trev the Voice Over Guy)

This week, we meet up with Richard Spaven whilst he enjoys a cup of Yorkshire Tea with Oat Milk.

We discuss important issue such as that age old question.. “Which side does a logo need to be on a Meinl Mug?” We also talk about his

New Album “Sole Subject”, his recent Album Launch Gig at the Jazz Cafe, London which he described as “One of the best gigs of his life!”

+ Plus more drummy stuff..

Join us for just over an hour of chilled out chat with one of the leading and most influential and inspiring drummers on the scene today.

He also a lovely bloke and a Meinl Artist (of course ;) )

Episode 18 - A Slightly Weird Catch Up

This week Matt’s away in the middle of nowhere and we catch up for a quick chat about the previous week and discuss what is coming up in the way of some guests.

We talk about the Richard Spaven a little and about some upcoming JoJo Mayer Gigs, November 5th and 6th In Hoxton London

There’s something strange going on in this podcast, maybe something to do with Halloween.

Anyway.

Thanks for Listening

Episode 15 Chat with Chris Johnson from Highwood Music www.highwoodmusic.co.uk

This was recorded a couple of weeks before the UK Drum Show so we do mention the "Upcoming Show" just in case it's confusing..

We invited Chris in to have a quick chat about his shop in Wakefield Yorkshire.

Chris is a legend in the drumming retail UK scene and is often referred to as one of the most trustworthy sellers on the Facebook Groups, along with being a guy to go to when you're looking for that must have drum gear...

This one is a little shorter than usual.

Enjoy and thanks for listening.
