Percussion Discussion Podcast

• Gabi King - The 1975, Declan McKenna, Two Door Cinema Club, Years & Years

  Joining me today is the wonderful Gabi King. Gabi is a session drummer / percussionist who has worked with likes of Declan McKenna, CMAT, Two Door Cinema Club, Ed Sheeran, Years & Years and most recently playing percussion for The 1975. If you watched any of the recent Glastonbury Festival you will have seen Gabi with The 1975 headlining the Friday night on the Pyramid Stage! Join Gabi and myself as we have a good old chat about her drumming life including the then upcoming Glasto performance, her very first Drum Clinic at the UK Drum Show in 2024 ( i sadly missed this as it clashed with Keith Carlock) We also talk about her lack of audition for the 1975, she was asked to play for the band on The Jonathon Ross Show followed by a five week tour with no rehearsals!! Thanks so much to Gabi for giving up her time so generously.
