060 - In Defense of Drumming - 05.01.2013
24/04/2017 Duration: 46minLast week, the show reached pure CONTROVERSY over the validity of drumming in general. Vin started it, and then many in the crowd piled on. Guest “Andrew” held his own valiantly, but he was outrageously outnumbered. This week, the Eagle has landed. Michael Eagle, drumming extraordinaire, will demonstrate to us (and “school” Vin, as it were) just what drumming is all about. We’re long overdue for a show about this anyways. Don’t miss the Mayhem. May 1st, 2013.
