The Drum Panel: Pocket, Pep Talks & Paris Regrets
Description
Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum.
In this part two episode, I continue my deep-dive chat with co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City) — picking up right where last week’s marathon conversation left off.
Today we discuss:
- The most useful failures musicians face (and how to reframe them)
- Why “pocket” means something different on every gig
- Learning to own your voice — whether as a hired gun or band member
- How to stay mentally and physically sane while on the road
- Why doing non-music things on tour actually fuels your art
We open up about imposter syndrome, ADHD, burnout, and what it really takes to balance creativity with professionalism.
