Drum and Drummer
A Mouse Farts And It Goes Into The Red
Ep. 127
•
Welcome to another episode of Drum and Drummer! This week we’re chatting about George’s recent gig with Lennon Taylor where he used his new Gretsch Catalina with a slightly unusual cymbal set up. Ben also talks in detail about his new kit; the Roland VAD504! Having played it at two wedding gigs already, is this the future of live drumming? He’s also paired it with a full set of Yamaha Crosstown hardware to make transport easier (and save his ailing back). There’s also some tennis beef brewing as George preps for his grudge match with a previous guest. Enjoy!

36:34||Ep. 218After a bit of money chat and Ben doing ‘the sensible thing’ by NOT buying a cymbal (sad face) we have a big discussion about drum charts and why we use them for functions and why we don’t for originals as George is looking to take his Lainey Wilson gig ‘offline’. We also discuss the new Evans Pull Cord Drum Key and TAMA are entering the lightweight hardware game.

41:15||Ep. 217After a big gulp of Lemsip George quizzes Ben on his apathy towards drumming and gigs; is he joking or is there an exit strategy in mind? We also chat about George’s expensive trip to Graham Russell Drums including new skins for both kits and some sexy new hi hats. He’s also been playing around with his new Drum Dial but the ultimate question remains… 75 WHAT?

32:35||Ep. 216On this week’s show we chat about mince pie induced wheezing, comparing yourself to sportsmen of a similar age and setting up racing events at the old peoples home to give them one last sprint.

39:25||Ep. 215Happy New Year! We’re kicking things off with what gear we’d like to buy this year as George is looking at getting a Porter and Davies drum stool and new skins for his kits. Ben has grabbed himself an Xmas bargain getting the worlds heaviest cymbal for £95 and tuned up all his snares. We also chat about DIY, fixing locks with graphite powder and George’s stinky pipes.

01:18:20||Ep. 214Merry Christmas! It’s time for another Christmas Special and we’ve roped in old friends and returning guests Josh Rowe and Elliott Joseph for some festive fun. Whilst we look back at 2025 and ahead to 2026 we discuss what we think are the ‘coolest’ instruments, which tribute act we’d hate to play in, envy when watching gigs, learning piano and Josh’s book of band names. Hope you all have a great Christmas! Enjoy!Follow us on Instagram: @drumanddrummerpodcastEmail us at: drumanddrummerpod@gmail.comhttps://www.littlepiggystudios.com/https://www.drumcharts.co.uk/213.

39:12||Ep. 211Your birthday, a gig and a trip to Scotland… which two would you choose? Well George has all three coming up this weekend. But before that we chat about the winter gig blues; leaving the house when it’s dark, complacency, set list order and the worst version on Numb by Linkin Park ever played. Ben’s also been back to hospital to have a discogram performed on his spine and launched his new website drumcharts.co.uk where you can purchase digital versions of his one-page PDF drum charts.
