We're Talkin Drums Cory Hofing

This week my guest is Craig Toutant. Not only does Craig have a vast experience with touring in bands behind the kit but also with the retail side of musical equipment and is the Mapex Drums Canada Artist Representative. This chat goes in depth on the artist relations side of the industry and some of the do's and dont's of getting noticed by such companies as Mapex along with some casual talks of being a working drummer.
I hope you enjoy this episode and please comment any questions you may have and both myself and Craig will answer them for you!

I ( Cory Hofing ) will be doing a FREE drum clinic May 22nd at Long & Mcquade Burlington!
Hope to see you there!

My guest this week is Mathew Kohanowski, drummer of Deathcore band Euclid. Matt is a seasoned touring drummer having done several years with Shadows of Intent as well as Oceano with a great insight on the music industry and being in a growing up and coming band. We discuss the struggles of touring on the smaller scale and differences between growing a band now and what it was like 10-15 years ago as well as his love for Slipnot and his early years behind the kit.
