The Bandwich Tapes

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I am joined by my longtime friend and fantastic drummer and producer, Brian Stephens. Brian and I talk about how we met and some gigs we have played together over the years. We also discuss his drumset approach, whether live or in the studio.  
Brian Stephens is the sort of creative professional who has always lived several different lives simultaneously.

For more than 25 years, Brian has been a full-time freelance drummer, audio engineer, studio producer, music educator, leading-edge technologist, AV consultant, serial entrepreneur, multimedia content creator, and brand ambassador.
When not on the road, Brian can be found tracking drums, engineering and producing music projects, and mixing and mastering all sorts of client projects at his own studio, Secret Cove Studios, in Atlanta, Georgia.

His studio work has appeared on TV, film, and radio including ABC, Disney+, Fox Sports, MTV, NPR, and Sirius/XM.

Brian currently runs his own online drum school, The Drum Corner and Fader Jocks Pro, an online training site for audio engineers. He is also teaching privately, both from his own studio and at the Buford Academy of Music in Buford, Georgia.

He is also the host of two podcasts: Dial-A-Drummer, a podcast for drummers, and Fader Jocks, a podcast specifically for anyone involved in the worlds of audio recording and live sound.

Brian is also a brand ambassador and clinician for Session Ace, Paiste cymbals, ProMark drumsticks & accessories, Evans drumheads, Puresound snare wires, and Waves Audio DAW plug-ins.
