65 min
Hope you all had a great Christmas! It’s Boxing Day so time to finish off those chocolates and join us for an Xmas treat. Traffic and illness thwarted our attempt at a ‘traditional’ Xmas special but we were very grateful for the legend that is Lennon Taylor to step in and chat with us. Lennon and George can often be found on stage together at weddings with Wildwood Sky. After gifting Lennon with a ‘thigh of bread’ we chat about gig anxiety, standards and expectations and switching from solo to band. We also find out how he got the name for his song Gatorbone and Santa Whyntmas has some presents in his sack. Enjoy!

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.

George has also picked up some new skins and ordered some drum cases but paranoia is kicking in about the sizes. There’s also a trip to space in the Drum Dumpster. Enjoy!

2022 is here and what better way to get through the first week back at work then listening to Ben and George prattle on about drums and stuff. George got some delightful drumming gifts from Santa (himself) and work has begun on Ben’s new Jurassic Park themed tattoo. There’s also a rumour involving Ben’s old Year 7 music teacher and a discussion on how to learn songs using charts due to the complete inability to commit songs to memory. Enjoy!
