S2 E58 - Danny Reyes & Chris Fryar

Hello! Welcome to Drum Channel with Billy Amendola and his guests, percussionist Danny Reyes and drummer Chris Fryar of the Zac Brown Band. 

Billy catches up with long-time official band members before they head out on tour for the summer and into the fall. The band has been on top of their game for ten-plus years, selling out stadiums and charting hits on both the country and pop charts.    Before joining Zac Brown, de los Reyes toured with Earth, Wind, & Fire, Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, and Ricky Martin to name a few.   Danny’s father, the legendary Walfredo Reyes, Sr. (who turned 90 in May, 2023) and his late grandfather Walfredo de los II were forerunners of the Cuban orchestra genre.    Chris fills us in on what led him to become a member of ZBB, his short time at North State University, and the Mississippi University for Women, his early days, advice on being a band-member, and more. Let’s listen!
