Early Access - List Q&A #2, Plus Gavin Harrison and Keith Carlock

Nate Smith February 3, 2024

People sent me interesting questions! And I got a chance to weigh-in, during perhaps a slightly low-energy time of the afternoon.

In this solo pod, I discuss…

  • An old qutation oft attributed to Mozart, and whether I think it applies to drums

  • The myths and facts around developing speed

  • “Niche” or “under-appreciated” superpowers of gigging drummers (like not dropping the wing nut while one-hand unscrewing it)

  • Should we strive for versatility, and if-so, how?

Then, I cap things off with a ten-minute rant on nature/nurture, which still gets me fired up, even though I haven’t made a video on it in a year or three.

Hope you enjoy this slightly-jet-lagged, slightly-mic-thumpy solo pod!

And if you haven’t caught this week’s video about Gavin Harrison and Keith Carlock - separated at birth?…

…here it is.

And here’s the free download for that video.

Enjoy!
