Drummers on Drumming The Drum Panel: Does "good" technique HAVE to feel good?
Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum.
This is another segment of The Drum Panel featuring myself, Sarab Singh (MUNA), and Brendan Buckley (Shakira).
In this episode, we talk about:
- Getting over the fear of recording at home and figuring out certain techniques later in your career
- Why some producers and artists choose emotional takes over technically perfect ones
- When quantizing, sample replacing, or comping starts to blur the line between your playing and studio editing
- The tension between technique and comfort—and why great technique doesn’t always feel great
- What makes a groove feel “bad,” and how context, consistency, and taste shape that judgment
