Finally, Broadway Drummers Get Their Notice

A Must Listen/Watch/Read for Drummers and Percussionists

It has always irked me that drummers and percussionists who play Broadway shows receive so little attention in the drum-world press. Now, thanks to seasoned Broadway drummer, Clayton Craddock, these players are expressing themselves and educating those of us who play (or would like to play) shows. Craddock hosts the podcast, Broadway Drumming 101, that delves into the heart of Broadway. The show offers an insider’s look into the unique artistry, discipline, and behind-the-scenes realities of drumming at the major league-level for live theater. Each episode features candid interviews with fellow drummers, percussionists, conductors, and music directors giving listeners insight into the preparation, precision, and creative adaptability required to bring a Broadway show to life eight shows a week.
