The Drum Panel: Cynicism, Gimmicks, and Angine de Poitrine
Notas do episódio
Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum.
Today, I’m joined by my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City, La Armada) and returning guest Zack Albetta (Broadway's & Juliet , Working Drummer Podcast) for another installment of The Drum Panel.
In this episode:
- Angine de Poitrine and the rise of microtonal math-rock weirdness
- Masks, costumes, performance art, and the word “gimmick”
- Why musicians can be so quick to dismiss what they don’t understand
- Cynicism as both a shield and a trap
- The danger of bonding through negativity
- How touring can breed complaints if you let it
- Choosing to be positive without being fake
- Why “I don’t get it” is sometimes enough
- Art, context, and the death of context
- Whether success in music is ever really linear
