    • Music

As we bring our special three-part series to a close, we want to express gratitude for your interest in the podcast.
We started a few weeks ago by introducing you to Michael Aarons, an industry veteran, whose invaluable insights have broadened our understanding of the many facets of musical production—from Broadway stages to recording studios, live events, and beyond.
With a career that's been both broad and deep, Michael has shown us what it takes to assemble world-class pit orchestras, navigate complex labor agreements, and manage the intricacies that come with large-scale productions. His wealth of knowledge has proved invaluable for drummers and anyone aspiring to make their mark on Broadway.
As Broadway Drumming 101 continues to grow and evolve, we are more committed than ever to bring you diverse voices and perspectives from industry titans like Michael. We believe that this series has been a treasure trove of information and strategies designed to elevate your musical career to new heights.
