On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I'm catching up with Drew Simpson, one of my favorite drummers on the planet. We're diving into our musical journey together, reminiscing how Drew first got into percussion playing in his dad's band and his early lessons. We then reflect on our time playing together in Mount Pisgah and the profound impact of our drummer-bass player dynamic.
Drew shares some incredible stories from his touring days with Blast and Aida, giving us a peek into the theatrical magic of those performances. We also delve into his adventures touring in China, discussing the unique challenges and unforgettable moments on stage there.
Later, Drew opens up about his experiences playing in Broadway musicals like Blast and navigating the intricacies of being a sub in such demanding productions. He also touches on his fulfilling time teaching elementary school music, emphasizing the role of singing and percussion instruments in shaping young musicians' foundations. It's a conversation packed with insights and fond musical memories that I'm excited to share.
