The Drum Panel: Gunnar Sounds Great!

In this PART 2 episode of The Drum Panel, I’m yet again joined by drummers Gunnar Olsen (Puscifer, Big Data) and Eric Urrea (Marina City) for a deep dive into the internal lives of drummers — the anxiety, the self-doubt, the flow states, and the fears we rarely talk about. 

Today we discuss:

The adrenaline of live shows

How we learn songs

Reoccurring drummer nightmares

The power of simple praise

Content creation as practice

Drummer swap fantasies

The burden drummers carry

Looking ahead for The Drum Panel
