The Drum Panel: Are we just musical sperm donors?

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:

The problem with ranking drummers

Playing the gig you are meant to play

Learning from teachers who do not gig

Technique versus musicianship

Why “proper technique” is not always one-size-fits-all

Listening to your body behind the kit

Click tracks, backing tracks, and modern live shows

Whether rock has become too polished

The difference between consistency and humanity
