We talk conducting, percussion studies, learning about his weaknesses in the darkness of Sweden, overcoming performance anxiety, and the history of the “Grandma” slice of pizza in Long Island.

Doug and I catch up in his hotel room in NYC before a big conducting gig. Doug is a GREAT drummer. And a good friend. We go deep and we troll @liquidrum, as you do.

We talk soca, panorama, and Rice and Peas and getting along.

I sit down with Adam Groh, prof of percussion at Western Carolina University in North Carolina. We talk about commissioning music, teaching, learning music, guns and singing your kids to sleep.

I sit down and chat with Adam Sliwinski of So Percussion about Venice, Roman naval battles and orchestra auditions

It's about anxiety

advice on careers and such, no matter your career.
