3 – Dave Hamar: Learn from everything

July 16, 2018Drums, Music, Performing Artsdrums, Mandy Harvey, touringthemusicgrind

In this episode, I talk to Dave Hamar. He is a drummer, composer, teacher and he’s currently playing with rising star, Mandy Harvey.

We talk about getting started playing music, making the jump to be a professional, and even gear. See if you can catch the nerd references he throws out there. I actually really appreciate his gaming analogy!!! You’ll hear in this episode how great a story-teller he is. That’s likely why he’s such an interesting drummer to listen to and to play with. Be sure to listen all the way to the end.

You can find Dave online at these places.
