I have arguably country music's number one drummer, Rich Redmond. He has been the touring and recording drummer with multi platinum country rocker Jason Aldean for 24 years. Rich and I discuss how he got started in music and drums, the many other things he's working on outside of music including motivational speaking events based on his Amazon bestseller book, "CRASH Course For Success: 5 Ways To Supercharge Your Personal and Professional Life".
Also I give Rich a quick run down on how rum isn't just about Malibu and Captain.
We also put him through, In Four Beats or Less:
1. Who’s on your Mt Rushmore of drummers?
2. Favorite venue you’ve played?
3. What other project could you give up?
4. Craziest thing that happened at a gig?
