  • 500 - Episode 500: Celebrating this Milesone, New YouTube Content, The Past, Present, and Future of WDP
    In years past for milestone episodes, we would do something kinda special or make a big deal out of it in some way. This is definitely our biggest milestone yet but it comes at a time when neither of us (Zack & Matt), really have a lot of time to organize anything much more involved than a regular episode. We tried to line up a special guest but the scheduling didn’t quite work out. We’re confident that person will join us for an episode in the near future, just not this one. This podcast has always been a side project for both of us, and has often taken a backseat to the main aspects of our personal and professional lives, and it’s kinda ironic and fitting that our 500th episode is no exception. So for this episode, we take the opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come, talk about what's been learned along the way, where we’re at in life at the moment, and what’s coming up, and of course to thank you all for your support in helping us get this far. In this episode Zack and Matt talk about:     ◦    Zack’s interview with Dave DiCenso     ◦    Matt’s exploration in traditional grip     ◦    Trying to be the change you want to see on the drumming internet     ◦    Zack’s touring gig     ◦    New YouTube content on the podcast channel     ◦    Reoccurring guests     ◦    How modern tech influences drumming styles     ◦    Steering clear of envy or jealousy Here's our Patreon Here's our Youtube Here's our Homepage

  • 497 - Jano Rix: Playing With The Wood Brothers, His Deep Jazz Background, What He Took from Watching His Dad's Playing and Career
    Jano Rix is a drummer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer who has been the third member of The Wood Brothers for over a decade. He started as a hard core jazz pianist, earning a degree from the University of Miami and playing experimental jazz on the New York scene, but he gravitated back to the drums, his dad's instrument, and steered his path back to other styles of music. The Wood Brothers are currently on tour and in the process of recording their next album. In this episode, Jano talks about: How recording to tape changes not just the result, but the entire experiencing of playing and listening during the tracking process  How playing keys and drums at the same time brings cool ideas out of both The idea of following flexible time instead of dictating steady time  How his jazz education focused too much on the music’s theoretical result and not enough on its emotional process.  What he took (and left behind) from his jazz days What he learned from his dad Luther Rix about playing with conviction
