The Fill Ep. 6: David Werre

In this episode, I am joined by David Werre. He can be seen flexing his musical muscles across Southern California in a handful of great local acts running the gamut between rock, jazz, funk, blues, folks, metal, and more. We get together and talk about his early and current drum equipment, his time attending Musician's Institute in Hollywood, his growth as a musician, and more. Pull up a chair, and listen in!

The Fill Ep. 5: Robert Hanson feat. Cyrus Talaiefar

In this episode, one of my oldest friends, Cyrus Talaiefar, serves as a guest host as he asks me questions in an effort to provide you faithful listeners with a window into my life in drums so far. Tune in as we talk about my earliest musical memories, my influences over the years, the various pieces of equipment I've had in my life, my return to drums after a 4 year sojourn into guitar playing, the bands I've played in, records I've made, and more! Enjoy!

The Fill Ep. 4: Hunter Haggy

In this episode, I am joined by another old and dear friend, Hunter Haggy. Join us as we talk about his punk band, No Advisory, his past experiences playing with other punk bands from the greater Southern California area, getting started playing drums at a relatively young age, early influences, his past and present equipment, band communication, the value of servicing the song rather than overplaying, our shared admiration of the late Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins, and more!

The Fill Ep. 3: Richie Gonzales

In this episode, I am joined by Richie Gonzales. Richie has been playing drums for a little over 20 years, and in those years, he has managed to play with a plethora of different up-and-coming artists, as well as collect his fair share of both modern and vintage drums. On top of discussing the various projects he has been a part of, we sit down together and discuss his past and current drum equipment, cutting his teeth at the young age of 12-13 in the punk rock scene of Needles, CA, our respective desert-island burger joints, his experience on the road opening for Cold War Kids back in 2015, and more.

The Fill Ep. 2: Turner Dowhan

In this episode, I am joined by an old and dear friend, Turner Dowhan. We dive into topics such as his various creative outlets, how drumming runs in the family for him, influences, gear, past and present musical projects, and how sometimes if you want something in life or need help with something in life, all you need to do is ask.
