Drummers on Drumming The Drum Panel: Gear Criticism, Flat Toms, and Endorsement Realities: Can You Play Without Knowing the Vocals?
Episode 2 PART DEUX of The Drum Panel
Welcome to The Drum Panel—a segment where a rotating group of professional drummers engages in roundtable discussions on polarizing and controversial drum topics submitted by our listeners.
Today's episode is the second half of a conversation between myself (Ben), my co-host Eric Urrea and special guest, Kris Mazzarisi (owner/founder of Big Fat Snare Drum & drummer for Winnetka Bowling League).
Today we discuss:
- If you're overly critical of gear, are you showcasing your lack of skill?
- Should snare drums and floor toms always between flat (Eric is surprisingly passionate about this subject)?
- If you don't know what the singer is singing, can your take still suit the song?
- We do it...we talk the world of endorsements.
