The Drum Panel: Tantric drumming...
Notas do episódio
This week on Drummers on Drumming (powered by Big Fat Snare Drum), we’re back with another installment of The Drum Panel with Mark Stepro and Chase Elodia.
Mark plays with The Wallflowers and has worked with artists like Butch Walker and Brett Dennen, and Chase plays with Hudson Freeman and is getting ready to release his new record, Real Ones, on October 23rd.

We continue putting the new Drum Panel format to work, using a few loose categories to give the conversation some direction without keeping us from going down whatever rabbit holes come up.
In this episode:
- What people are actually getting when they hire you beyond someone who can play the parts
- Knowing a song well enough that you don’t need the usual safety nets
- Adding drums to a song without ruining what already makes it great
- Getting so good at serving other artists that your own music gets neglected
- Whether music actually needs to be released to feel finished
- Translating what an artist says they want into what they actually mean
- Records that gave us permission to make different choices behind the kit
- Finding creativity inside really simple drum parts
- Whether “serving the song” can become an excuse for not making an interesting choice
- Touring, having a family, and accepting that there might not actually be such a thing as balance
Plus, Tom Petty, Steve Ferrone, Brian Devendorf, Alan Myers, Stewart Copeland, Vinnie Colaiuta, and a lot more.
