They are based out of Southern California and their goal is to make quality drums for drummers at a fair price. Nick talks about starting up the company and being able to offer pretty much any customization from material to wraps/finishes. We also talk about growing up in the 90's and how he got into drums. This podcast is brought to you by Embroidery and Sew More, makers of Drums and Rums apparel----------------------------------------------------------------------The opening track is  Once Upon a Bottle of Rum by Brad BrockCheck out Brad Brock's Jams ' N' Cocktails Podcast live every Wednesday at 8:pm EST----------------------------------------------------------------------Here are a few things you will hear in this episode of the Drums and Rums podcast.What got Nick into drumsGrowing up in So Cal in the 90's and seeing all those bands coming upHow and why he started up Newport DrumsWhat separates them from the big companiesHis drumkit configuration (hint hint)We talk about the songs he does drums coversIn four beats or less:Who’s on his Mt Rushmore of drummersSomething most people don’t know about him that they’d be surprised aboutWhat does he prefer: recording in the studio or performing liveFavorite percussion instrument that’s not “drums/drumsetVisit their links:https://www.newportdrums.com/https://www.instagram.com/newportdrumshttps://www.bandmix.com/nick-luick/Don't forget to check out our site and linksDrums and Rums websiteFollow us on Facebook, YouTube,  Instagram.
