In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with world-renowned drummer Tom Brechtlein for an in-depth conversation about his life behind the kit, his musical influences, and the legendary artists he’s worked with.
Tom Brechtlein is best known for his powerful, precise drumming and dynamic performances across jazz, rock, and fusion. He’s toured and recorded with incredible musicians, including Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Robben Ford, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Kenny Loggins. Whether driving a high-energy fusion groove or delivering subtle textures in a ballad, Tom’s approach to drumming is thoughtful, expressive, and always musical.
