Description
Ash Soan is one of the most in-demand drummers in the world, with a long list of live and studio credits that includes many of the biggest names in pop music over the last few decades. In addition to his studio and touring work, he is also well-known for his seven-year stint as the house drummer on The Voice UK. He is the creator of a series of video lessons available on his website and commands a wide social media influence from the confines of his small home studio, a converted 18th century windmill base that resides on his property outside London and has become synonymous with his drumming.
In this episode, Ash talks about:
His approach to mixing drums after he's tracked raw sounds
Finding sounds through science and manuals vs. intuition, experimentation, and trial and error
Knowing your sound and yourself well enough to be not just capable, but confident in any situation
Following iconic drummers on a gig without trying to be them
How he's avoided any major physical issues through a relaxed approach
How the greatest drummers' playing reflects their personalities, from Gadd to Guiliana to Ferrone to Copeland to Ringo
