The Dave Walsh Podcast - Drums In The Shed
Monthly musings about all things drums, and occasional other ramblings. I mostly ramble on about gigging, practising, and from time to time, I interview people. Also, there are lots of stories and some insights in to my philosophy towards not just music, but my approach to everyday situations. Thanks for listening.
