Drummers on Drumming Big Fat Five: Noah Hecht's (Cassandra Jenkins, Purr, Dan English) Top 5 Influential Records
This week’s guest is Noah Hecht - a Brooklyn-based drummer / instructor who proudly studied under Billy Hart at Oberlin Conservatory of Music and College. He’s worked with Purr, Yeasayer, Eleanor Friedberger, Man Forever, Porches, Cassandra Jenkins and many more. If I were to state a through line for this chat, it’s that Noah is obsessed with placement and its relationship with time. You’ll see what I mean 😊 BYEEE!
