Livin' That Acrolife (Tucker Rule - L.S. Dunes / Thursday)
Ep. 177
•
It’s Thursday so who best to get on the show? It’s only the legend that is Tucker Rule! Not only was Tucker the drummer for New Jersey post-hardcore band Thursday, he is now also the drummer for supergroup L.S. Dunes who head off on a US tour this week. Made up of members of Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Coheed & Cambria and Circa Survive, they formed during the pandemic. Their second album ‘Violet’ was released in January 2025. We chat about prepping for tour, recording the new album, and playing live. We also talk about Thursday and their rise from the basements of New Jersey to major label success. Tucker also took a different direction in his career when he played for British boyband The Wanted touring the world and making many TV appearances. Enjoy!

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?

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/
