Big Fat Five: Nick Adams' (Aly & Aj / Take That) Top 5 Influential Records

This week’s guest is Nick Adams … a Los Angeles-based touring and recording drummer whose passion for music and live performance has led him to work with an array of well-known artists such as Rivers Cuomo , Noah Cyrus , Fifth Harmony , Aly & Aj, Liz Phair , and Take That among others. I am obsessed with his Instagram; he gets such amazing sounds and is a nerd when it comes to engineering himself out of his own studio. If you want to watch a drummer who plays deceivingly hard parts with absolute conviction….please go check him out. I'm stoked to introduce a bunch of you to Nick! So please enjoy the 5 records that helped shape Nick Adams into the drummer he is today. Cheers! --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today! 🎯 Click here to order now!
