Podcast interview with drummer Ronnie Burrage.

From performing with Duke Ellington at just nine years old, having his own band with Marcus Miller and Kenny Kirkland, to playing with Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny, McCoy Tyner, and countless others, Ronnie has had a really impressive career. 

He’s currently staying busy teaching, working with his non-profit called World Rhythm Academy, and playing with his band, Holographic Principle.

Big thanks to each one of my guests: Brad Webb, Colin Stranahan, Billy Drummond, George Fludas, and Dan Weiss. It means so much!

Special thanks to Bart at the Drum History Podcast for all of the advice and early technical help. Thanks to Jon at the Four on the Floor blog for helping to spread the word. 🙏
