After an eight month hiatus, the Dial A Drummer podcast is back! The new episode is Part 2 of Brian’s conversation with drummer, producer, and music educator Pat Petrillo. Pat’s latest album “The Power Station Sessions” has received awards and accolades world wide. And due to the success of this latest album, Pat has recently signed with Innervisions Records and is currently in the middle of production on his next album, slated for a Fall 2024 release.
Brian explains, “I was very happy that we could finally put out this next episode. Even though the podcast has been dormant for most of 2023, there was a lot going on behind the scenes with negotiating how I could hold on to the Dial-A-Drummer brand going forward. For a while, it looked like we were going to loose the name and IP entirely.
I talk about some of what I have been going through in the first 10 minutes of this newest episode. Long story short, we successfully acquired the DialADrummer.com domain name from its previous owner and, along with trademarking the name, have put the much needed steps in place for my company, Secret Cove Media, to now own the entire Dial-A-Drummer brand lock, stock, and barrel.
Now that we have all of that in place and the podcast site has been moved over to DialADrummer.com, we are moving full steam ahead with new episodes. After Episode 24, we will be in a position to release new episodes every other week. My hope is that we will have our guest roster filled and production pipeline streamlined enough to move to releasing new episodes every week beginning in 2025.
I appreciate everyone’s patience through this whole process, and I’m glad to finally be able to more exactly explain why the podcast was dormant for so long.”
The next episode of the Dial A Drummer podcast is slated for release on April 15th and features Atlanta-based freelance drummer & educator Chris Burroughs. Brian and Chris are going to have a very candid discussion about social media, online drum profiles, and all things drum / music business related. It’s a candid conversation that is bound to stir up a lot of controversy all over the Internet!
