The Dave Walsh Podcast - Drums In The Shed

Happy spring.  We're back! Well, I'm back.  It's been a while. But it's been tricky.  Hope you are well.  Peace.  D. 

I know, I know, I've been ages. I've been busy. And a little disorganised.  Anyway, I'm back.  Peace.  D. 

Hello listener,  My time in the drum shed is coming to an end. I'm moving out, moving on. It's the end of an era and the start of a new chapter.  In this episode, I reminisce about what has gone on in the drum shed. It's been emotional.  Thank you shed.  Peace.  D. 

Hello.  Strange times lead to strange things. But that's OK.  When we practice, we get better, and noticing new freedoms in our playing comes from the doing.  You dig?  Peace. 

Welcome to Season 2!  Yes, it's a new season. Well, actually it's not. Let us pretend it is still summer... But the podcast is in a new season. After the 100th episode last month (please go listen), I've decided to start a new chapter.  And that's what the 'vibe' of this episode is touching on in a more spiritual way. Reflecting on chapters and also just a quick round up of some stuff I've been wo...

lHi there,  Welcome to this 100th episode.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to my dear friend, brother and master musician Sergio 'Gato' Gallardo.  Peace.  D. 

How's it going. Sorry, it's late. I know... What can I say.  Anyway, It's a round-up. What does that mean. Not sure really.  But lots to discuss and the usual tangents...  Peace.  D 

Happy spring to you. Yes, we've got through winter and some brighter days ahead.  This one is a massive ramble. I'm pretty tired and also lacking in energy, but still manage to find something to find inspiration from.  Hope you are doing well.  Peace. 

Good day, How's it going.  A verbal utterance about taking ideas from the pad to the kit.  And a prologue about using the pad if you've never bothered. All in a day's work.  Peace.  D. 

Just when you think it's safe to go back in to the drum shed.... a curveball comes.  Hope you're well.  Keep playing, keep grooving, keep happy.  Peace.  D. 

How is it going?  It's 2025. Of course, it is. Time move forward. It's called life.  Hope you had a great holiday.  Today is a lot of post-jet-lag plane talk nonsense and some chat about Rolling in Rhythm.  I quite like some of the stuff in this podcast, but it's a bit strange.  Peace. 

How's it diddling? I'm still diddling and some other bits and bobs. Have a listen. Still trying to join the dots. Hope you're doing well.  Peace.  D. 

How's it going? I hope you're well.  A simple episode about para's and diddles.  Nice and relaxed.  Peace. 

We lost Martin France recently. A terrible shame, and he'll be missed. One of my favourites and a true inspiration to many. A genuine world-class player and educator/teacher/mentor.  In other news, I've been getting back into drumming. Well, who'd think that. Huh!?! Peace. 

Welcome back,  I've been away since Aug 4th. And this episode is a slightly reflective, odd look at the concept of retiring.  I'm not retiring, btw. But maybe I already have... Tricky.  Peace.  D. 

Hey, how's it going.  Yes, I know, I know, it's late. But it's only a day. But what a difference a day makes... (great song) Check it out. More drums in this episode. Warts and all. Chatting about the job of work of trying to get stuff together. Just another share. And Drum Shed News! It's repaired. (I think... I hope!) Peace.  D. 

I've had a break and totally forgot to record an episode last week.  Anyway, here we are.  Some playing on this episode, testing a new (to me and different) microphone. The EV RE-20. Nice dynamic mic. Hoping this is going to work for me to make sore playing and talking content for the podcast and YouTube.  Peace.  D. 

Hi There,  It might be time to find a new stick. With the sands of time catching up with me, a change of balance might in order. And with that, a new sound?  Peace D. 

Hi there,  I hope you're well. This one is pretty mixed up. Jumps about a bit. But essentially it's about finding where the gaps are in one's playing or one's learning. Probably more the 2nd part of that.  Peace out. D. 

Hi friends.  Hope you are well.  Some news and chat (with myself - madman) about working stuff out and exploring if there are more effective ways to get to the heart of the matter quicker.  Peace.  D. 

Hi there,  Back to normal ramblings this month.  Chatting about confidence and also technical confusion.  Hope all is good with you.  Peace. 

Hi Everyone,  Thanks for coming back. Not much to add, really. Part #2 with Graham. It's great and full of interesting stories, tangents and info.  Enjoy,  Peace. 

Hi There, welcome back and hello to any new listeners.  I had a great afternoon chatting to Graham about all sorts of music related stuff.  Lots of fascinating personal info about many parts of Manchester culture and music.  Sit back and enjoy. This is part#1 of two episodes. The whole interview was around 4hrs 20 mins.  Part#2 coming on Sunday 7th Jan 2024.  Graham's/808's socials are @massonix80...

Welcome back. Hope you have had a good month. It's November now and time to get back in the shed for the winter months.  But I've got a few gigs, so what's the vibe...  Well, have a listen to this hour or so of rambling nonsense.  Peace. 

Hi there,  A long, meandering ramble that doesn't appear to have much purpose. EXCEPT to say, remember why we play! Hope you endure, I mean enjoy.  Peace.  D.
