Last week I sat down with one of my drum heroes, on Mr. Richard Spaven, for the inaugural episode of the 8020 Drummer Podcast.(Well, the inaugural episode of the “comeback”. There are some old episodes from 2015.)Because you’re on my list, I’m giving you access to the interview a day before I publish it on YouTube.Richard and I discuss…The origins of several of his songs, and his songwriting process in generalThe ephemeral nature of flow-states, and how to achieve them (hint: there’s no magic bullet)“Kids these days”, and whether social media has been a net benefit or a net harm for drummingThe importance of studying jazz, and why we both like “full takes”and more…If you haven’t yet seen the video of me submitting to Richard’s critique playing one of his most famous songs, check that out below.





























Hope you enjoy,N
