ELECTRONIC DRUMMING PIONEER | ADAM BETTS

Recently I had the pleasure of spending the day with Adam Betts, drummer for Three Trapped Tigers, Emperor Yes, The Heritage Orchestra and many more.
Last year he released his mind-bending solo album 'Colossal Squid', where he pushes the boundaries of what one person can create live behind the drums with the integration of some very cool electronics.
In this interview we go deep on taking risks as a musician, how to find your own creative voice on the drums and how Adam approaches forging a new path on the instrument.
He is currently working on his next solo album, so if you want to keep up with the tour de force that is Adam Betts, you can do so here:

Great interview Ben! Thanks for this!

[@AidanMmusic96]

Really loved this, you both say stuff my teacher's been consistently saying for a few years! I also liked your overarching points that we're all making music, it just happens to be the drums that are our instruments. Great stuff!
