Jake Reed

Los Angeles based drummer Jake Reed joins me on The Downward Facing Spiritual Podcast. I met Jake about six months when I started recording some new music and I am so stoked I met him because he's truly an incredible musician. Seriously, if you're a songwriter or in a band and you're looking for a drummer, he is super talented, easy to work with and a complete pro. We talk about music and drumming and what bands and musicians inspired him the most. We talk about the impact of drum machines, what it's like making a living as an artist in Los Angeles, the process of recording and what it entailed creating his own home recording studio. He shares a story about a summer job that put life and his passion for drumming into perspective and he also shares personal stories about the impact of social media and what he likes about social media and the struggles he has managing the addictive qualities of Instagram. He is also in a really amazing jazz band in Los Angeles called Trio Kait and they should be heading back in the studio later on this year. Be sure to follow Jake on Instagram, and if you dig the conversation, please share it with your friends or head on over to iTunes and write a review for the show. Thanks so much for listening and supporting the show.
