Behind The Beats: With German Perez

The first time getting my mind blown with Chad Sexton's drumming was the beats off of From Chaos. His style of playing and the unique tone was too complex for my beginner virgin ears. I listened on repeat and dissected all the amazing phrasing on that album. I knew that Chad Sextons drumming was something that I wanted to sound like, or at least steal ideas from(wink). His background in drum corp had a major influence on his style and to me, it was the first time I noticed a drummer using that technique with rock, reggae, and funk styles of music. Its been a long time since the days when I didn't know what rudiments were and in some weird way, I credit that realization to Chad Sexton's drumming. Please enjoy my podcast about my appreciation of this amazing drummer. Thank you!
