Drummer Roundtable!!

For this week's show (Thursday, April 26th) I'm going to have three very special guests in the studio for a drummer roundtable: Lucas Sader, Aaron Sabasch, and Kaleb Kirby.  All three are fantastic young drummers and they're going to be bringing in some music and we'll be talking drums, music, and whatever else comes to mind.  CJUM 101.5 FM, 4-6pm on Thursday!
