Welcome back to The Drum Panel—a roundtable-style discussion on all things drums.
This week, I’m joined—as almost always—by my co-host Eric Urrea, and today’s special guest is Jeremy Taggart: longtime drummer for Our Lady Peace and co-host of the Taggart and Torrens podcast, where he blends his love of music, comedy, and all things Canadian. At the end of the day, we’re just good buddies—and those are the kinds of people I like to have on The Drum Panel.
This episode kicks off in the middle of a little rant I was having about a recent encounter with David Garibaldi… which, if you stick around long enough, you just might hear for yourself. Let’s hop in. Cheers.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Jeremy’s dream piece of music memorabilia
- The records he wishes he could’ve been a fly on the wall for
- Making peace with not keeping every skill sharp—and choosing what to let slide to serve your personal sound
- Singing while drumming
- A round of Word Association
- And of course…Trivia!
