Hope you all had a great Christmas! It’s Boxing Day so time to finish off those chocolates and join us for an Xmas treat. Traffic and illness thwarted our attempt at a ‘traditional’ Xmas special but we were very grateful for the legend that is Lennon Taylor to step in and chat with us. Lennon and George can often be found on stage together at weddings with Wildwood Sky. After gifting Lennon with a ‘thigh of bread’ we chat about gig anxiety, standards and expectations and switching from solo to band. We also find out how he got the name for his song Gatorbone and Santa Whyntmas has some presents in his sack. Enjoy!

Although Christmas is just round the corner we’re not particularly in a Chrismassy mood but this doesn’t deter us from chatting about parsnips, traditions and marvelling at his large but somewhat under-decorated tree. George also gives us the low down on his new job at a bakery and stealing a notebook from an Xmas party gig. Enjoy!

This week we are finally joined by Ben Alldred from D’Addario; parent company of EVANS Drumheads. Having met Ben at Graham Russell Drums a few weeks ago when he helped skin and tune the ‘Florida Acrolite’ we wanted to quiz Ben on all things skins and tuning. Ben imparts his extensive knowledge on how important good heads are on a kit, how to choose the right head, designs and innovations and what all the different names and letters mean. Ben also uses his role as Percussion Product Specialist to go around to schools, colleges and retail partners to help people in person reskin and tune their drums. We also get some great tips on snare wires and tuning. Enjoy!

This week we are joined across the pond by Dan Grabski; owner of Daytona Beach Drum Center! Ben met Dan at his shop on holiday in Florida and left with a Ludwig Acrolite. We chat about Hurricane Milton’s impact on Dan and his store, why he moved to Daytona Beach and decided to open a drum shop and his decisions around which brands to stock. We also delve into the pro gigging scene in the area and how this compares to the UK. Enjoy!

We’ve had to reschedule our chat with Ben Alldred so it’s just us this week I’m afraid. However, pop your disappointment to one side and join us as we talk about winter gigs, Dean’s lovely hair and George’s surprise leg injury that meant he had to dep out a gig last minute. We also discuss becoming human tamagotchis, Instagram addiction, George’s trial shift at GAK and Ben’s trip to the Crocs shop. Enjoy!

We have a catch up about our weekend’s gigs where Ben had an unusual stage invader and George was surprised at what song got the crowd going. But before we set off for our gigs Ben went to the Graham Russell Drums Birthday Bash to get his new snare skinned and tuned by another Ben from Evans and George popped round to the new house to grab a choc ice from the outside fridge. We also learn what EMAD and GMAD stand for. Enjoy!

As we settle into our new houses our green fingers have been rummaging round to see what’s what. George had a surprise housemate living in his shed and Ben found some rather interesting items in his new garage. We also chat about band myths, tip runs, the Graham Russell Drums Birthday Bash, learning some My Chemical Romance and Ben has an apology to make. Enjoy!

This week we start off with some correspondence before heading into more tales of Ben’s holiday including trying out the Zildjian Alchem-E at Guitar Centre and picking a new snare from Dan at Daytona Beach Drum Centre. Ben also went to see Enter Shikari and You Me At Six in Orlando, had an eventful ride on Space Mountain and got asked one very important question. Enjoy!

Ben’s back from his holiday! We chat about the few days before departure which included a gig in Wales and the small task of moving house with 5 days notice. After a busy and stressful week it was time to head to Florida and relax, that was until Hurricane Milton, the fifth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever, decided to join the party. Enjoy!

Hallo! On this week’s episode we find out all about George’s recent gig in Switzerland; strict passport control, being taken to a cabin in the woods and apple sauce with pasta. WHAT?! Find out what George makes of the Swiss tax system and why he would never live there, what lessons he learnt about gigging abroad and the horror gig he missed on the Isle of Wight. Genießen!

On this week’s show we’re chatting about a man who has no email address, posting USB sticks instead of file sharing and George gave a man from DIY SOS some van SOS. We also catch up on our recent gigs with George trekking to Cambridge and central London and Ben making his HYPR debut. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by the one and only Gabi King! She’s off to Liverpool to do a masterclass at the UK Drum Show this weekend but before she sets off she kindly joined us for a natter. Having been the drummer for Declan McKenna for nearly 8 years she now finds herself touring the world as the percussionist for The 1975. We chat about those years with Declan, making the switch to percussion plus teaching, delivering pizza and what she really thinks of grades. Plenty of great stuff in this episode so get listening! Enjoy!

We were up bright and early for this week’s episode (well, early for Ben). George had a busy week gigging; his cajón took centre stage at a corporate event, he nearly got in a fight loading out of a pub and his dream trip to Beaconsfield and Oxford didn’t go to plan. Meanwhile Ben went up to London to look at Batman stuff, witnessed a man mistake a suit carrier for a hi hat and had another bad hogroast. Enjoy!

After some internet issues in Brighton we finally got down to business. On this week’s episode we chat about the gig we did together in Weston-super-Mare where we got to meet the ‘locals’ and lots of lovely farm animals. Ben also had a long drive to London the previous day and George brought his big boy Tama kit out of retirement. We also discuss the new Zildjian headphones, a delicious new Tama finish and Ben’s new Dyson. Enjoy!

Packed lunches and chocolate bars start us off this week before moving on to George’s upcoming gig in Zurich and Ben’s upcoming gig with HYPR. As well as writing charts Ben also got tempted by a new kit once owned by Mark Richardson of Skunk Anansie fame from Graham Russell (lovely bit of Japanese oak). We also chat about the 7th of September, parachuting out of a plane and what we’d do if we were the last humans alive. Enjoy!

Two guys have finally managed to put their drama all behind them and reunite for the people… and Oasis are back together! We chat about their recent reunion announcement and ponder over who the drummer will be. We both had a busy bank holiday weekend of gigging with George playing in a cold cowshed and Ben playing in Horsham town centre. George also went for a few beers in London with a recent guest and someone paid some idiot tax after losing their keys. Enjoy!

On this week’s show we’re talking about the intricacies of passing wind while playing drums, George is off to play a festival in Zurich and Ben purchased a PackBrack. We’re also introduced to the term ‘hi hat bark’ and the difference between triple flange and die cast hoops. Ben also recently worked on some new music with former X-Factor finallist Sean Smith and while on a trip to Lego store got distracted and tried out the new Apple Vision Pro. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode! After seemingly having done nothing of note over the last few weeks we’re digging deep and chatting about the Olympics, George’s car battery dying outside his therapist's house and non-eventful gigs. There’s also trips to the cinema, appropriate TV size and a night on the Guinni with Elliott Joseph. Enjoy!
