After a few months off I was able to sit down with the one and only "TimbofromKeno" AKA Tim Baltes. Tim and I had an amazing conversation about his "Go to gear", what he would play if the Stones asked him to sit it. He wisely takes us through philosophy on creating content for everyone to watch and consume, and have a laugh doing it. We discuss so many things, and about where he's at right now with work, and life. Tim lets us know this is the best Podcast he has ever been on!... ever!!!

Sam Ward and I sat down and met over some drinks virtually the other day. We quickly got to know each other had an amazing discussion about Sam's history growing up in Boston and his education at Berkley school of music and how if formed him to the drummer he is today! We discuss if moving to a music city is better than getting a proper music education, and how far will  it take you.  Of course we talk about Gear, and what Sam plays. And, we bounce back and forth on the idea of Pop drummer disappearing and if thats ultimately hurting the music we listen too!
