This week’s guest is Raghav Mehrotra. This young man is one of the most exciting drummers to watch right now. From starting drums at 3 to starring on Broadway before most kids even pick up a drumstick, Raghav has shown to be one of the hardest working players right now with a career that I am SO pumped to watch develop even further. In this episode, Raghav breaks down the top to 8 (I only asked for 5, but again, that’s just who he is) drumming moments that shaped him into the true veteran of the craft he is today. I really enjoyed this episode and I hope you will too.

It "rides" the fader in real-time and keeps both my and my guest's audio at a consistent level without the need to overcompress. I also use an endless of amount of their plugins for my musical recordings such as Abbey Road Saturator, CLA Drums, the SSL Channel, and many more.
