In this episode, we're joined by Rob Brian, a veteran session drummer and honorary Drum Dog ambassador. Rob shares stories from his extensive career, from his musical upbringing to touring with iconic artists like Siouxsie Sioux and Simple Minds.

Rob opens up about the intimidating experience of joining Siouxsie and the Banshees and the importance of respecting a band’s musical legacy. He also recounts a hilarious, yet stressful, career highlight: headlining a massive festival in Pasadena with Siouxsie and the dramatic events that almost led to the show being cancelled.

The interview delves into Rob's passion for drum history and his personal influences, as he names his four essential "desert island discs." He also discusses his love for Prince and his drumming on the album Parade, explaining how it shaped his understanding of combining acoustic and electronic drums.

This conversation is a must-watch for drummers looking for career advice, and music fans curious about the stories behind some of rock's most legendary bands.
