213 – Nick Ruffini: Our Annual Roundtable

Once a year, we get together with our buddy Nick Ruffini of Drummer’s Resource to catch up on developments in our lives, podcasts, and careers. In this episode, Zack, Matt, and Nick talk about: * Los Angeles: Nick’s first impressions, Zack’s memories, the good, the bad and the ugly * Nick’s new company, Revoice Media * Playing drums vs. other music-related jobs, and how ego and identity plays into that mix * Insecurity surrounding money * Matt’s outlook on the Nasvhille scene * Examples of drummers who had amazing gigs, then took a step back from music to do something different
