S2 E58 DYLAN DI PALO, Metalcore Drummer for SWEET ANARCHY, SASHA, SIGNV/S, and DAYS OF DECEIT. AUSTRALIAN ROCK & METAL INSTITUTE 'ARMI' Drum Teacher

Adelaide Metalcore Drummer Dylan Di Palo joins me in The Engine Room this week to discuss his musical journey. Dylan initially wanted to learn guitar, but as his older brother Tyler had already begun to have guitar lessons, he decided to choose another instrument to enable the brothers to jam together. Dylan initially started out on a practice pad when he was 7, and once he had established that he definitely wanted to continue with the drums, his parents then purchased his first set if drums for him when he was 8. Dylan had private lessons initially with 'Whiskey Harbour' drummer Trevor Draper 'Trapper' which eventually led to Dylan's first band 'Sweet Anarchy' opening for some of Adelaide's premium metal bands such as Matterhorn, Whiskey Harbour, Machine Head and on a number of occasions supported their mentor, the great Aussie legend "Swanee". Sweet Anarchy formed when Dylan was 10, after Dylan and his brother met and became friends with Kristy, while they were all participating in 'Weekend Warriors', which is a music program that enables musicians to rediscover music, or discover it for the first time playing with others, whilst being coached and mentored by Australian musical legends. Sweet Anarchy formed after they had participated in the program, the trio were fortunate to receive ongoing mentoring from John Swan 'Swanee'. Dylan joined the band 'Sasha' after meeting his band mates in year 10 on a school trip to Generations In Jazz, whilst whilst attending Marryatville High School. Dylan is also the drummer for SIGNV/S which formed during the midst of the global pandemic (and year 12), and has also joined 'Days Of Deceit' earlier this year. Dylan is currently teaching drums at the 'Australian Rock & Metal Institute' (ARMI), studying for his Bachelor of Music Degree at University, and working part-time as a "tradie" Shop Fitter.  Music: "Band It About" theme song was written and recorded by Catherine Lambert and Michael Bryant for the BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series. "Shapeshifter" is track 7 off of the SIGNV/S EP "Disgrace", which was independently released on 29/10/2021.
