Drum and Drummer

This week we are joined by the awesome Kurt Phillips! Not everything is plain sailing as a drummer as Kurt tells us about toilet emergencies during Panto and playing a show with kidney stones. We also chat about studying at ACM, his love of hybrid rudiments and creating a monster of a set up for his work with Wyse. There’s also auditioning to be the Milky Bar Kid and getting a tattoo in an unusual place.

This week we are joined by the fantastic Mr. Jacob Andrews! He has been tearing up the stages with his nu-metal revival band Profiler along with lots of session work and in quite the contrast an ABBA tribute band! We chat about playing open handed, diving into jazz and traditional grip and his recent trip to the studio to record three new Profiler songs.

Ben’s been to Bognor Regis to pick up an 8” Yamaha Stage Custom tom he found on eBay and George has finally discovered dynamics ;) We also chat about the added pressures of friends and family attending gigs and drumming bad habits.

Ben’s been busy in the studio playing drums and trombone for a few artists and George managed to complete a double gig day on Saturday playing two festivals despite one house kit not having a drum mat. Tut tut. We also chat a fair bit about exercise as Ben ups his efforts after being in his words ‘fucked’ during a gig a few weeks back.

Come on England! We’re both a bit tired after staying up to watch England VS Mexico and an early start for Ben on Monday for his MOT didn’t help matters. We also talk about George’s gigs with the ‘Lainey Lot’ in the Midlands, navigating England VS Norway on Saturday as we both have gigs and Ben’s clients making things even more difficult by not wanting half the band's repertoire.
