This week’s guest is Chris Dadge, a Canadian drummer producer based out of Calgary, Alberta. He’s worked with so many great artists and he tells you all about a month in the life of him …so I’ll let the master do the talking. Just push play; it’s worth it. Thanks again to Sheridan Riley, drummer for the band Alvvays for recommending Chris. He did not dissappoint. All right, please enjoy my chat with Chris Dodge about the 5 records that shaped him into the player…and person he is today. Cheers!
