In this episode, we discussed Gavin's background, influences, and approach to drumming. Gavin also shares some insights into his creative process, emphasizing the importance of serving the song rather than technical showmanship. He explains how he often declines work if he can't find inspiration and prefers to have creative control over his drum parts. Gavin also discusses his method of mixing his own drum tracks to maintain his intended sound and feel. He also touches on his practice routine, focusing on developing ideas rather than technical prowess. The new album from The Pineapple Thief, 'Far and Wide' is out on October 9th 2026. I'd like to thank previous podcast guest, Phil Woods, for the introduction with Gavin.

In this episode, I chatted to Sven Dirkschneider, drummer for U.D.O. and son of legendary frontman Udo Dirkschneider, to explore his musical journey from playing bongos at age four to performing on stages around the world. Sven shares how working alongside his father has shaped his career, the band's collaborative songwriting process, and life on tour, including unforgettable shows across Latin America and the incredible energy of Argentine audiences. The conversation also dives into Sven's behind-the-scenes role in production, his memorable stint filling in for Saxon's Nigel Glockler—including supporting Motörhead during what became Lemmy Kilmister's final performances—and the personal impact of Germany's devastating 2021 floods, where he helped coordinate local relief efforts. It's an honest and insightful look at music, family, resilience, and life on the road.

This was James' first ever drum related interview! James discusses his musical journey starting from childhood when his father, also a drummer, introduced him to the instrument, with early influences coming from Metallica and Iron Maiden. We explored James's approach to double bass drum technique, including his preference for two bass drums over a double pedal, and his training methods that treat speed work like gym training with focused sets rather than long, slow practice sessions. Our conversation covers James's experience playing with Onslaught, particularly the challenges of learning songs like "Chaos is King" that required playing up to 220 BPM, and his recent work filling in for the black metal band Anaal Nathrakh playing songs at 220-250 BPM. We also discussed the differences between recording with modern click-based production versus the lo-fi sound of older thrash records.

Support this podcast by becoming a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/drumforthesong Thanks for checking out episode 47 with Steve Vai & Sebastian Bach drummer, Jeremy Colson. In this episode, Jeremy has some fascinating insights on being a session musician and how playing for the song in an instrumental band is different to a much more common rock band situation containing vocals. He also talks about some of the techniques he's implied over the years which include using a double butt ended stick for his snare hand to achieve a fatter, more consistent rim shot and despite playing in some irregular time signatures with Steve Vai, he always tries to make it sound as straight as possible.

Thanks for checking out episode 44 with Martin Potts who works for the distributor KORG UK in a role as UK Artist Relations for Paiste, Vic Firth & Mapex drums but also has control of the marketing for Mapex in the UK. In this episode, Martin and I chat about his history of playing drums which included him reaching grade 8 at a young age, but sadly due to problems with arthritis couldn't persue much in his playing career. So we naturally discussed his journey of working within the musical instruments industry and how he started working in a drum shop and has worked his way up in the world of musical instrument distribution within multiple companies to where he is today and how the industry has changed over the years. We also discussed some interesting topics such as artist endorsements and what Artist Relations at drum companies look for in new artists and how artists should initially approach them with regards to applications etc. Martin also talked about how he organises the marketing side of things for Mapex including social media content and how difficult it can be to get it right. Overall, a really interesting conversation from another side of the drum world that doesn't often get covered on this show.

Thanks for checking out episode 43 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring Cardinal Black groove machine Adam Roberts . In this episode, Adam and I have a long in-depth chat about his relationship with the drums strongly influenced by his father who is also a drummer plus the complicated history of his band Cardinal Black featuring 'best new guitarist in the world' Chris Buck , super smoothe soulful vocalist Tom Hollister and funky bassist Sam Williams and explains why the band say that they the "the oldest new band in the world" and how they were discovered by managed by ex-Guns N' Roses manager Alan Niven before the band decided to go their separate ways around ten years ago. Adam talks about how the band recently reformed and talks about the making of their stunning new album 'January Came Close' which was released on October 28th 2022 and is a must listen for anyone who appreciates good music. We also talk about the Cardinal Black's relatively quick rise to fame including sold out headline shows and many support tours already including Myles Kennedy, The Struts and upcoming shows with the legendary Peter Frampton!
