The Drum Panel: Defining Success, Underrated Drummers, and the Gear We Love (That’s Not a Drum)

Drummers on Drumming

Episode 10 of The Drum Panel

Welcome to The Drum Panel—a show where a rotating group of professional drummers engages in roundtable discussions pertaining to all things DRUM.

For today's panel, we have my co-host Eric Urrea and special guest, Jessica Burdeaux (Covet, City Mouth, Host of Reverb.com's "What's That Sound?" series on YouTube).

Today we discuss:

• How do we get into the mindset of authentically emulating grooves?
• Thinking like a producer: Approaching drumming with overdubbing and auxiliary percussion in mind.
• What’s a style of music you feel you should know more about?
• How do you decide when to cut yourself off from outside influences?
• What’s your favorite piece of music gear that isn’t a drum or cymbal?
• If you could play one iconic groove perfectly, what would it be?
• Who are some drummers you think are underrated right now?
• How do you currently define success as a drummer?
• Are koalas marsupials?

As promised...
