The Drum Panel: Rudiments, Triggers, and the Lars/Ringo Debate: What Really Matters in Modern Drumming?

Today, my good friend and fellow professional drummer, Eric Urrea, and I are excited to launch the pilot episode of a new segment on our podcast, tentatively named “The Drum Panel.” Drummers are known for having strong opinions, and we aim to delve into many of these in a roundtable format. For this first recording, it’s just the two of us, but our vision is to feature multiple drummers from diverse backgrounds in each episode to foster engaging, relatable, and thought-provoking discussions. We invite you to join us on this journey. Today we discuss: are there too many rudiments? the hate towards Lars & Ringo are triggers cheating? virgin bass drums do drum shells actually matter? has social media ruined what it means to be a drummer? --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today! 🎯 Click here to order now!
