In this episode, Matt and Harry discuss making recording drums more accessible. We discuss affordable microphones and interfaces that are ideal for starting and ways in which you can get yourself started in the world of recording. It can feel very overwhelming at first, but it’s much easier than you think to get started. Interested in getting into recording? Check out the gear we recommended below.

In this episode we discuss the sometimes awkward topic of teaching drums.. without actually playing drums...

Ever taught a lesson where you have the student play for no more than 5 minutes, but you've spent most of the lesson chatting? Well we talk about that process and how actually, sometimes those are better lessons both for the student and the teacher.

In this episode we kick off a brand new series we'll be exploring where we do a deep dive on one album and the one drummer that plays on it, and what better way to kick this series off with the masterpiece that is John Mayer's "Continuum".

The album features and is produced by the legendary Steve Jordan (any guesses who picked this album?). We talk all about the magic of Steve's playing and how he creates the perfect drummer part, as well as the tonal choices with his drums and production.

Have you heard this album, and if so which are your favourite tracks? Let us know on Instagram - @countusinpodcast

We mentioned lots of content surrounding the album, which are all linked below.
