Had a great chat with Pat Garvey ahead of Ozric Tentacles' UK tour to talk about 32 years as a working drummer. He tells us how he landed the teaching gig at BIM, how he went on to start the Brighton Drum School, and what it was like recording drums for the new Ozrics album, Harmonic Mind.
We also get into how to stay professional (and pleasant) on the road, why the portfolio career has taken over, and how social media is changing the way young drummers learn.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to last as a professional drummer, this one's for you.
