In this very special final episode, we talk with one of the most important influences in Dave's life, his younger brother, Chris. The pair discuss at length their family history of drumming, as well as life back in the Central Valley growing up together. They also talk in depth about the loss of their father, what it did to shake them individually deep down and how they used that as motivation to become talented musicians. Chris and Dave also talk about their deep love of Doves and their mutual respect for our first guest of the final season of the show in Andy Williams. We've had a blast, but now its time to wrap things up. Enjoy our final episode!

It's The Talking Drum, the final season!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

In this episode, we interview our second guest from outside the U.S. in Ian Danter! Ian and Dave talk about Ian's interest in cover bands and the effort it takes to bring the material justice, akin to a period piece and a little slice of musical history. Ian also talks about his time spent as a sports commentator, growing up in the UK and the influence it had on him as a drummer. Ian also discusses the pains and joys of putting out solo releases of music where one person is responsible for all what the listeners hear.The pair even spend talking about The Simpsons, how the show brings 2 cultures together and how some TV shows just miss the point when they try to create the same show in another country.
