Mike Jackson & Adam Watts sit down with Dartmouth,  Cadets and Carolina Crown Drum Corps alumni and Yamaha Drums Product Specialist Paul Winterhalter. Paul came up under the tutelage of well known Marching Arts Instructor Tom Aungst. Paul also helps out with Broken City Percussion.

Adam and Cory talk about distractions to the artist and how it can affect your work, laryngitis, and The Beatles.

Mike Jackson & Adam Watts answer listener questions while drinking chamomile tea in the foggy mountains of Julian CA. They discuss their musical influences, their favorite musical surprise moments in songs, the best way to upgrade your home studio to a pro-level, Adam's approach to songwriting and recording (Lyrics first? Music first?), and more.

In episode 7 we sit down with Marching Arts luminary, badass and cool dude, John Mapes. John is the co-creative director and battery writer of the renowned marching arts group Pulse Percussion and co-founder of Box-6. Lots of juicy stuff in this one. We discuss, compare, contrast, and find interesting alignment in John and Mike's creative processes and hear about Mapes' rich musical background, his approach to show-design and his great long time creative partnership with Ian From and how it all began.
