DrumQuig Podcast

Guys! Episode 31 is here and you can hear it first! This episode was a blast because Sam is such an insanely talented drummer but also a down to earth human being with a ridiculous amount of knowledge to bring to the table. We talked everything from the early days to Primus auditions to current touring life and everything in between. As mentioned in the show, please head on over to Stay Tuned Reco...

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 30 featuring Tracy Thornton of Pan Rocks! Man the timing of this one was absolutely perfect.

We discussed everything from life after Evergreen Terrace leading up to the shocking, for all, re-joining of the band and 2026 shows. Two things both of us did not have listed on our Bingo cards. Keeping this o...

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 26 featuring DannyDrumstixx! Man we had a blast. Simple as that.

Danny hit us with one of the simplest yet profound statements about...

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 25 featuring Sean Crowley of Big Sky! Guys. Once again, this was an absolute blast to do.

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 23 featuring Yogi Watts of Demon Hunter! It's not every day that you get the chance to sit down, well virtually anyways, with a drummer you have admired for almost 20 years yet here we are. First and foremost, Yogi and I have talked about this for YEARS and it has never come to fruition and to be honest, I'm glad it didn't until now. It was t...

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 20!Today's guest should be a familiar face to some as he was behind the kit with Dopapod for many years and recently Photon. Please welcome Neal "Fro" Evans! Right off the bat I will say there is something to getting to experience someone's live performance in person and a few weeks later get them to come on the podcast. Truly amazing....

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 18! PREFACE: This was such a FUN episode to have and I'm thankful for our guest Scotty aka Drummer POV on Instagram!

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 17! In this episode, I try not to go complete fanboy as our guest is none other than Rob Houk, former drummer for Aqueous and Tand! This one goes deep my friends. To many of you that know me, I covered MMA for the better part of 16 years and interviewed countless fighters. I would strive hard to come up with unique questions or different ways to approach...

It's always fun to connect with a drummer during the first time you see a live performance. The way the grooves play out, the feeling of funk and just the overall energy. It was all of these traits that brought...

For this episode, we reached back into the archives to find someone we've been wanting to talk to for many, MANY years and finally just asked and got a resounding "Sure!". That person?

First and foremost, due to scheduling availability, the show will continue with just one Quiggins for the next few episodes until that is sorted out. But as they say, the show must go on! First and foremost, the announcement has finally...

Welcome all to the DrumQuig Podcast Episode 7: Kentucky Derby Edition! But wait. No guest? That's right! Part of the idea behind starting this show wasn't always having a guest. It was a continuance of the conversations that we were having on a daily basis anyways. Whether it was current events, drumming videos, or in this case, some sad news about Sam Ash Music Stores. #RIPSamAsh. This episode fe...
