6 ABR. 2024 · Welcome to the first episode of the Drumwell Podcast! The monthly podcast where we chat to drummers about what they do away from the kit, in order to perform behind the kit. In this episode, Todd discusses his own journey in drumming and wellness, and gives you an idea of how this podcast came about, and what kind of topics will be discussed. Enjoy this first episode, and stay tuned for some fantastic guests!   "After a recent back issue which at one stage was starting to have an impact on my playing, I went the route of seeking professionals to fix the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. This ongoing process has led to several interesting conversations with my drumming friends and peers about various issues they've faced and how they navigate them. So I figured I would press record on these conversations to share with others out there who may find this interesting!" Thanks for listening! Please leave a rating and review. Toddy.

13 ABR. 2024 · In this episode, I sit down with Aussie drumming legend and my good mate Dave Haley (Psycroptic, Werewolves, The Amenta, King, Crisis Act, Abramelin, and more). We dive deep into Daves approach to his extreme style of playing, his routines around practice, diet, exercise and also the ways he's approached injuries.  When I decided to make this podcast, Dave was the guy I had in mind to be my first guest. Over the years he and I have had some great conversations around maintaining our bodies for drumming, and he has certainly been a great influence and supportive friend to me in my own journey.  I hope you enjoy listening to this chat as much as we enjoyed having it!  Thanks for listening to this Podcast.

6 MAY. 2024 · Welcome to Drumwell Episode 3!  This month I have the awesome Donald Tardy of Obituary on the show.  He's been playing at an elite level consistently for decades, and in my opinion, he just gets better as the years go by.  I've been lucky enough to have toured with Obituary a coupe of times over the years, and seeing Donald play every night is absolutely magic.  His approach to drumming and life in general involves day to day movement, keeping active in a life sense, good balance between work, life, passions and leisure, and of course playing a lot of drums and music in general. I love his approach, and I hope you enjoy our discussion! Thanks for listening! Please leave a rating and review on whatever platform you're listening on. Enjoy! Toddy.
