Episode 83 - Dave Elitch (Weezer, The Mars Volta, Miley Cyrus)

from The Musicians Mentor · host Musicians Mentor

In episode 83 of the show, I speak with the extremely insightful - Dave Elitch. Dave Elitch is an American drummer/educator who (over the years has) worked with an array of artists/bands during the course of his career. Some of these names include The Mars Volta, Weezer, Miley Cyrus, The 1975, Justin Timberlake and many, many more. In addition to his role as a musician, Dave has also made quite the name for himself as an educator and has become somewhat of a 'drum guru' in relation to the way the body works in conjunction with the drumset. He's even given lessons to some of the biggest drummers on the planet, including Tre Cool, Travis Barker, Stacey Jones and a host of others. We talk about musician mindsets, books, auditions, philosophy, the current music business and even a little bit about cars...For more information on Dave Elitch, the projects he's involved in or his recommended reading list, please visit - www.daveelitch.comAs usual, thanks for checking out the channel and if you're getting anything useful from my content, please feel free to comment, like, share and subscribe, thank you.
