The Dave Walsh Podcast - Drums In The Shed

Welcome back everyone.  Enjoy this couple of hours interview with all round super chap Owain Fleetwood Jenkins.  Everything you need to know is contained within.  Peace and thanks for listening.  D. 

 .... erm preparation, apparently.  Hope you're well. I’m a little earlier with this month's episode.  A rambling episode about prepping for different situations, notably the studio, because I'm going to record this coming Sunday.  Peace.  D. 

Hey there, how's it going? Sorry, I had to repost this because I had some issues with my plosives.  Don't forget, in these uncertain times, be yourself.  Peace.  Dave. 

Hi All,  It's summer, a time of new beginnings... Or is it!? Peace.

Hi everyone,  Hope all is well.  This episode is about putting my new trio together and all things involved in starting a new band.  Peace.  D. 

Hi Everyone,  Hope all is well.  I was going to name this 'Levelling up', but that sounded far too political. If you're not in the UK, this won't mean anything to you... Sorry about that.  But just some thoughts about the level we play at and finding ways to raise that level.  Spring is here, and that always feels like it's an opportunity to explore new things.  Peace.  D. 

None of the music shared in this belongs to me. These short clips are included just to show examples of tunes that inspired me.  Hi everyone, as part of 40yr anniversary month, I'm talking about how inspirational Keith Jarrett was to me in my teenage year, and beyond.  Hope you enjoy.  Peace.  D. 

Hello there,  I hope all is well. Sorry, this is a few days late this month.  I'm getting back in to being a snare drummer at the mo. It's very exciting! (laughing face emoji)  Have a great month Peace. 

'Ow Do, Hope you're well and happy new year.  This year is my 40th anniversary (of playing the drums). I wish I was actually 40!  Anyway, some ramblings about gigging and disrespect.  Thanks for checking in.  Peace.  Dave. 

Hi everyone, This podcast contains information that might upset some people. I bloomin' hope not!  So after a few conversations with some friends/fellow drummers etc... I decided to document this in audio and publish.  It might help someone come forward and go to the doctor/seek medical help with something they are worried about.   As I mention in the podcast, this story was already featured in a...

Hello there,  A bit of chat about the classic Ted Reed material found in his famous 'Syncopation' book.  Hope you enjoy,  Thanks and peace.  D. 

Hey there,  How's it going? Hope you're well.  This moth's ramblings are a bit of a continuation from last months, mainly talking about Jazz and Bebop drumming.  Thanks for listening.  Keep well.  D. 

Ow' Do Hope you're well.  Things come back around. The fundamentals and foundations of learning.  Have a great month.  Peace. 

Hi there,  I hope all is well.  D you revisit things.  How do you work on things you revisit? That's what my ramblings are about today.  Thanks as ever for listening.  Peace. 

Hey, How you doing?  Don't forget to drop me a line via instgram (drummie_dave) or by other means if you feel the urge to share any similar thoughts to what I drone on about during this months episode.  It's been an intense month. More intense than perhaps I realise sometimes.  But we're still here, trying hard and pushing on.  Keep the faith people.  I hope you're well.  Thanks for listening.  D....

Hi everyone, Welcome back. Sorry it's been a while (again).  I'm moving to a monthly podcast for the foreseeable.  This month I've been thinking a lot about when 'one' is being artistic and when one is providing a service, as a session musician. And some thoughts around what all that really means to me.  Hope you enjoy. It's all a bit rambly and strange, but I get there in the end.  There is also...

Hi there, Hope you're well.  Some musings about reflecting on whether the things I practice are efficient. Also a few thoughts on the fact that you CAN learn new things, even when you're older. Don't let anyone takl you out of that! Have a good week and thanks for listening. 

Hi everyone,  Hope all is well.  I was thinking about knowledge, following on from last episode about'Being Open Minded'.  Have a listen and hope these interwinding ramblings are remotely interesting.  Peace.  Dave.

How do everyone.  Hope you're well.  Title kind says it all. No one reads this stuff anyway.  Enjoy.  Peace.  D. 

Hi everyone.  I'm having a drum stick audit. What the heck is a drum stick audit. Well, press play and check it out. It's riveting.  Hope you're doing well and feeling super creative in your drum world.  Peace.  D. 

Apologies. I've been crap. But I'm back.  DIY nonsense and some other ramblings in this episode.  Hope you're well and happy new year etc...  Peace.  D. 

Hi there,  Hope you're well.  RIP master bass player/musician/composer/producer/gentleman Simon Goulding, who pased away on Thursday 9th Dec 2021. 44 yrs young.  Today I'm rambling on about how to find your sound, or how to think about finding your sound. Connecting some ideas and concepts from other podcats.  Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for listening.  Dave. 

Hi All, Hope you're well and sorry it's been a few weeks since the last post.  Today is quite a practical episode, with some ideas on how to setup a nice multi pad situation.  I also talk about some things I've been working. You might find the specific exercises helpful or you might find the approach to the exercise helpful in whatever you are doing.  Thanks for listening.  Dave. 

How's it going? I hope all is well and things are startig to return to some kind of normality, whereever you are in the world.  For me, I've been back teaching face to face and gigging. So things have felt pretty normal, very suddenly. As a result, I've felt totally knackered! (pardon my english)  But it's a time of reflection (again ...) and has made me think about one thing, values and that lead...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. This episode is a ramble about my hihats. I get a bit nostalgic about some old and now sold (and also lost) hihats. I also demo my small library of hihats.  I hope this episode helps you, perhaps, think about expanding your own collection.  Keep well and keep safe.
