The Renaissance Drummer Podcast will become a monthly podcast, recapping the previous month's events, publicizing the upcoming month's schedule, bringing on multiple guests and playing the sounds of excitement from the field. We are reaching a sense of normalcy in the music world, but there's a lot of transitioning to come and we all need to support each other in this endeavor.

Good pipe bands play well in their sections. The pipes are tuned well, fingers are flying, the snare line sounds crisp, the bass is holding it down, tenor drums are flourishing. A GREAT pipe band knows what's going on on the other side of the circle. Join me as I talk with Colleen Sokolowski, Pipe Major of St Edmund's Pipes and Drums, about working towards great ensemble work both with the pipers and the drummers.

Want to teach music but not sure WHERE to start? If you're a teacher or believe you have what it takes to become a great teacher, knowing where to teach can be a daunting task.

These are all great platforms. The real question...which one is the right one for you? This week's guests are Tom and Karissa Evans, Owners and co-Founders of The American Drum Co., a music studio specializing in drum instruction.
