January 18, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBPhil Towle is probably best known for his work that was documented in the Metallica documentary, "Some Kind of Monster"; but honestly, he should be known as the shining light we all look for on the darkest of days. A truly disarming, personable, and insightful guy with tons of great advice for bands at all levels.

Jean-Paul Gaster is a true madman behind the kit, and his resume speaks for itself. Jean-Paul is one of (if not the) greatest drummers of our time, and his band Clutch is creeping up on 30 years of unapologetic, pure rock fury. I had a blast talking with Jean-Paul about his early days behind the kit, his constant thirst for a deeper knowledge of the instrument, how drums have changed the cou...
