Episode 74: Hamish Stuart

Hamish Stuart is an Australian drumming legend. Born and raised in Sydney, Hamo had the idea very early on that if he could just play drums and make a living, survive as a musician, then that what he wanted.  Hamish has gone on play with Ayers Rock, Marcia Hines, Billy Fields, Doug Parkinson, Jackie Orszaczky, Mike Nock, Barry Leef, The Catholics, Lucie Thorne, Jade MacRae, Don Walker, and many more.  Known for his musicality, versatility, reliability, wit and delivery, the hang, and always beautiful sounds drums, so its pretty clear that this is why he’s been able make that living, and survive as a musician for as long as he has.  In this chat, we talk about his life, his experiences as a working musician in Australia and of course we talk a bit about drums. Hamo tells some great stories too, except for the one that he forgets, but we had a special guest fill in the blanks on that one. Thank you Gordon Rytmeister. Recorded in Manly, Australia 17/02/2020.
