Are Self-Taught Drummers Missing Out? Plus Keith Carlock, Bad Bunny and Pollner Drums | The Back Beat #2 - Drum Dog Podcast

Send us Fan Mail

You can practise on your own for ten years and just get really good at doing it wrong. This week I'm asking whether learning drums alone is quietly holding you back. This week on The Back Beat: a Bad Bunny record that genuinely surprised me, Keith Carlock's vocabulary with the Wayne Krantz trio, and a drum carved from a single log.
