The Drum Panel: be where your pigfeet are

Drummers on Drumming

Show Notes

This week on Drummers on Drumming, we’re back with another installment of The Drum Panel with Eric Urrea and Gunnar Olsen.

We’re continuing with the new format for the Panel, using a few loose categories to give the conversation some direction without keeping us from going down whatever rabbit holes come up.

A lot of this one ended up being about how your relationship with drums changes the longer you do it.

In this episode:

The gigs you would've killed for ten years ago that you might not take now

Separating being busy from actually feeling successful

What happens to your playing when you get nervous

How much technique actually matters if what you’re doing sounds good

Knowing when a song actually needs a fill

Why constantly recording and analyzing yourself can sometimes take something away from playing

Leaving a band when you still love the people in it

Drummers we understand completely differently now than we did when we were younger
