Percussion Discussion Podcast - Episode 154 - Donavan Hepburn.
Joining me today is Drummer, Programmer, Musical Director and Tutor Donavan Hepburn.
Donavan already has a glittering career under his belt having recorded or toured with the likes of Mis-Teeq, Lemar, Adele, Ms Dynamite and many more his current gigs are with Take That, Gary Barlow and Jeff Lynne's ELO! Huge gigs!
Join Donavan and myself as we pick through some of his remarakable career so far, including how the Take That gig came about and what it entails to pull of this huge gig!
We of course had to talk about his gig with Jeff Lynne's ELO and how Don worked really hard to replicate the sounds and wonderful drumming of former ELO Drummer Bev Bevan.
We also talk about the different approaches to each different gig that are neccesary to be the first call session drummer that Donavan is!
We had the most wonderful chat, Don is very easy to get on with and a remarkably humble gentleman - Thank you for giving up your valuable time so freely to talk to me!
