The Drum Panel: I didn’t pay for flams on four!

This week on Drummers on Drumming, we’re back with another installment of The Drum Panel.

Kyle plays drums for Cartel and does a ton of session work from his studio outside of Seattle.

In this episode:

Big cymbals, smaller cymbals, and changing taste

Shedding old influences
