In collaboration with EnterTalk Media, SABIAN President and CEO Andy Zildjian will host “Drummer’s High”, a new broadcast that examines the exhilarating state of flow that is unique to drummers. The state of Drummer’s High is achieved in the excitement of performing – it’s a combination of the joy of making music, the innate human response to rhythm, the power of moving audiences large and small, and the sheer physicality and athleticism of drumming.<br />Each episode will highlight the many ingredients necessary to achieve this flow state, and will tap one or more notable drummers to share their insights, tips and experiences in achieving drummer’s high. <br />“I have always been fascinated by the philosophies, experiences and lifestyle choices drummers make so they can perform at the highest level,” comments AZ. “It goes way beyond technical tips to everything from health and fitness, listening practices, special interests, relationship-building, mapping out careers, navigating the business side of the music industry, and approaches to performance vs recording.”
David Garibaldi joined the renowned Oakland, CA Funk/Soul band Tower of Power in 1970 and since then, has become one of the most influential and iconic funk drummers. David talks about his time with Tower, facing up to the vices of the band’s substance abuse, finding a way out through his faith and about his recent brush with mortality, when he was hit by a train outside Yoshi’s nightlub in Oakland.
