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. 🙏
