Ep. 17 - Talent vs Hardwork, Time Management, and More Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

Today we have something a little different: "listener requests." I took to Instagram (@timbuell) and asked what topics you would want to hear on the next podcast episode. There were several great suggestions and I picked three to talk about:

- the future of the music industry

- talent vs hard work

- time management

DISCLAIMER: I'm not an "expert" in any of these fields, but I do have quite a bit of personal experience with all of them so hopefully these topics are interesting and you find something useful somewhere in today's episode.

Ep. 16 - Is Pop Music Getting "Less Intelligent" (with Nate Onstott) Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

I've been having a TON of conversations recently with musicians (and people in general) who seem to think popular music is currently in a state of getting less complex - both lyrically and production wise.

Nate was over at the studio and I decided to put him in the spot and talk this whole thing out with him. For more about Nate, visit:

Ep. 15 - Cody Fry Interview Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

Today is a conversation with Cody Fry, who is a musician based in Nashville, TN who has toured as a "sideman" with artists like Ben Rector and Hunter Hayes - he is also an artist himself and one of my favorite song writers.

Cody and I talk about the difference between being a "hired musician" playing for an artist, and actually being the artist with your name on the marquee. He also shares a few stories about what he learned working with drummer Aaron Sterling. As well as gives practical advice on how to get hired by an artist if you are looking to be a "musician for hire".

The two songs you'll hear in this episode are Cody's original tunes. The first is called "Want Me Back" and the second is a song entitled "Flying". You can buy/stream them on any of the popular music platforms.

Ep. 14 - Calvin Rodgers Interview Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

Calvin Rodgers is an incredible drummer who has toured and recorded for artists like Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, John P Kee, Aretha Franklin, The Isley Brothers, and many many more. I had the chance to sit down and talk with Calvin last year at PASIC 2018, where he performed a fantastic clinic and masterclass.

In this interview Calvin and I dive deep on the perception of Gospel drummers, tips for making a career in music, and how to "make money in your sleep."

Ep. 13 - Guess the Time Signature Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

Today we have a fun challenge suggested by a listener. I will be testing how good your ear is by playing drum grooves, and seeing if you can guess what time signature each groove is in.

This should be a fun game for all of us to test our drumming knowledge. Keep track of how many you guess correctly and tag me on Instagram (@timbuell) with your final score!
