Drummer’s Resource Podcast
I always enjoy the Drummer’s Resource podcast. Nick has great, motivational informative guests and Nick knows how not make it about himself and let the guests be the show.
Really Good Podcast
I dove in for the list of incredible drummers Nick interviews, and now having listened to many episodes, really like the philosophical approach, the real life and practical thoughts and advice, and the deep and mature vibe of the conversations.

Nick (and Daniel Glass) do an exact job having great conversations with a wide range of individuals (mostly drummers) that provide many nuggets for life & music!
