Working drummer

Working Drummer Podcast:

Since our first episode in January of 2015, we have been growing in size and scope to be the source for those interested in what it's like to be a professional "working drummer”. 2021 started off with our 300th episode posted with new episodes premiering weekly.

Our interview based podcast continues to showcase performers with a sometimes less recognizable name but always impressive body of work. This unique approach has garnered a niche audience who is hungry for unfiltered stories into what it takes to make a living as a musician today.

From time to time, we have been able to bring to our listeners interviews with some of our drumming heroes and mentors. We have been honored to have drummers like Dave Weckl, Steve Smith, Peter Erskine, Eddie Bayers, Todd Sucherman, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, Bill Stewart and Jerry Marotta just to name a few.
