  • I got a call to fill in for a drum tech the night before I had to leave for this tour. Join me as I go blind into a gig where I've never met the drummer or his drums. I also run playback on this little run.

    Every drummer needs to watch this. Inevitably we will find ourselves in situations where we need to set up and tear down fast. Having a system that achieves speed without compromising our gear is a must.

As a working drummer myself I love learning more efficient ways to set up and play since I don’t have a great crew like this. Keep up the great work!!

    These videos are very cathartic and engaging for me. Having been a gigging drummer before, watching an expert go about their work is inspiring, but also provides an interesting sense of comfort and companionship in seeing someone else go through setting up and tearing down a kit. And, of course, nerding out over drum gear! Thank you for the work that goes into what you do, and these videos!

    Love it Matt. I always pick up little tricks from your tech videos. I’ve never truly been in a position to be a drum tech, nor needed one myself as I’ve always mainly played in bar bands. That’s slowly changing? I’ve been playing with Rick Redington in Vermont for 6 months . Very cool guy. Great music and vibe. He’s been on the map for a long time now.
    I sent your last tech video to a friend that’s my tech in training. He will get this one as well. He isn’t a musician what so ever, but has a very deep application for music. He’s very mechanical and detail oriented. I won’t need him often but I’m getting him dialed in. Have three shows coming up with three bands in two states in two days. This guy will be MVP.
    I have a Face Page, Osborn Percussion if you care to follow.
