Welcome drummer and music director Rob Bodley of The Foxies! Rob has been in Nashville for over 5 years and has quickly become known for his "go-getter" attitude and professional work ethic. In this interview, we dive deep into the topics of live performance and touring, as Rob encourages us to "zoom out" of our specific role on the drums and challenges us to elevate our live sets musically and creatively. We also discuss the concept of "distracted practice," why drum sheds can be so valuable, and how to develop a state of flow. We hope you enjoy!
