It was such a blast going through the writing process for a track that neither of us had ever heard, and then seeing if what we wrote matched with the final version of the song.

Our dear friend Guy Licata joined us to chat to y'all about the world of product development, marketing, and branding in the drum industry. Eddy and I did our best to stay out of the way so that Guy could drop knowledge bombs and that is EXACTLY what he did.

Become a Patreon https://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddy As drummers we all tend to put a little too much importance on fills but are the fills themselves really that important? Eddy and I are both of the opinion that the purpose of your fill, when it's played, and how well it's executed is far more important than the actual fill itself. This episode explores the why and then when of fills instead of the what. - Mike & Eddy Support the show...

Support this show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddy Sitting down on the kit and jamming to a song is a beautiful thing, but we sometimes take for granted just how much of a safety blanket the music can be. In this episode Eddy and I discuss ways to get comfortable "speaking" on the kit without music. Evolving your drumming from beats and fills to having a fluid sense of flow on the kit. As you'll hear from both of us, it's much easier said than done! Enjoy :) Support the sho...

In this episode Eddy and will discuss that process, as well as answer a few questions from our amazing Patrons. Enjoy - Mike & Eddy Support the show...

Support this show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddy I think we all deal with the feeling when it comes to drums that we have to be great at everything or else we simply aren't great. That couldn't be further from the truth.

In episode 56 Eddy and I explore this topic and a few dozen others, lol. Enjoy! Support th...
