This week we had a lovely chat with Bob Wynne! As well as teaching up to 80 kids a week in schools Bob also runs Bob’s Drum School, a private teaching studio based in Rotherham. Alongside teaching 6 days a week Bob also plays gigs and is heavily involved at the UK Drum Show. We chat about his teaching setup, his dislike of mini burgers and moving to Denmark for 6 months to join the circus.

Bad ears and good eyes are first on the agenda this week but which one of us has a swollen ear and which one has the eyes of a fighter pilot? George steals some sticks from Newcastle and Ben has set up his mega kit with the Yamaha Hexrack and reskinned all 6 toms. We also discuss what’s the minimum info required to say yes to a gig. Enjoy!

While Ben’s been pushing back on rumours about his mum’s demise, George has been back on the road up to Scotland via Birmingham and Newcastle and invested in some drum mics. Ben has finally completed his Yamaha Stage Custom mega kit thanks to the guys at Rubix Drums in London (and no thanks to James Gillingham). Enjoy!
