Volume 41 - Sean Bresach

SEAN BRESACH

*


So...one of the kool things about social media is being able to connect with people from all over the world, who share your same interest. In this case being a drummer.
What's even better is when you meet someone on social media who actually lives in your vicinity. Or even better, when that guy shows up at one of your gigs to support you and your band.
That's exactly what happened with Sean. We met on FB and it just kind of took off. He is a really down to earth kat and those of us who know him, know what I'm talking about.
It is pretty kool that I get to share his drum life with you all with this interview but believe me, there is so much more to this man.
Ladies and Gents my new friend and brother Sean Bresach is Talkin' Chop.

Name or Stage Name:

Sean Patrick Sims Bresach. My stage name is 11

Where are you from?I grew up in Downey, California and now reside in Whittier, California

How long have you been playing?

I've been playing drums for 38 years

What is or are your main genre of playing?

For me I've tried not to limit myself to just one genre of music. Over the years I've found that different genres can be used universally, for instance with some of the songs we play in church I've used Jazz, Rock, and even Waltz.

How did you get where you are now?

It's been a long road to get here filled with blood, sweat, and thousands of tears. I look at myself as the worlds okayest drummer. I haven't yet reached what you'd refer to as "the top of the mountain" but I've reached a point where I am no longer vain or smug about my abilities.

Why the drums?

As strange as it may sound I really didn't pick drums they picked me. Most of my family are drummers with the exception of my oldest son and my sister who play guitar. So you can say it's "in my D.N.A" so to speak.

We chatted a bit about you playing at your church, tell us about how that came about?

That's kind of a long story but I will keep it short. I started playing at a church while we (myself, wife, and daughter) lived in Wyoming. I met Pastor Charles when we came for my mother in laws funeral and we held my moms service at the church a few years later. We moved back to California and began attending New Beginnings Fellowship in Bellflower, California, Pastor Charles and his wife Willie asked if I would like to join the worship team and of course I couldn't say no. After around 4-5 months I joined the team as a secondary drummer, but things didn't work out with the main drummer so I was "promoted" lol to full time.

Aside from the obvious reasons, what do you think are some of the differences in playing a church gig and a secular one?

In my opinion one of the big differences is the mood that you're creating. In a church gig you're bringing everyone into a place of worship, where as in a secular gig you're bringing everyone into a place where anything goes. Mind you I'm in now way trying to put anyone down, I enjoy music both christian and secular. But as I said my opinion in difference is the mood.

Sean doing his thing at church (New Beginnings Fellowship)

You have a band called THE WAY. What type of project is this? and is there music available?

As for a classification we are a Christian band, as for style of music, and we all agree that there is no one set style. Every song is different, there are a few that actually cross genres during the song, it will start as a Metal feel then out of no where it's Jazz. At the present time we don't have anything recorded. We're kinda perfectionist. If all goes well we will be hitting the studio by early next year.

aka 11

Do you like being in a band, where you're the artist and you get to create your own vision?

I do. We do. Our process is probably way different from other bands but to me it keeps it from becoming boring. To have the freedom to just play and see and feel it all come together is very rewarding.

Are you one of the songwriters in the band?

As far as lyrics go I have a few songs written but most material is written by our guitarist Joshua Edwards. Myself and Jason Robb kinda stick to putting music to his lyrics. But for the final versions we all have input.

As a drummer, what are some of your goals, short & long term?

My personal goal is to continue growing and learning new things as a drummer, different techniques, sounds, playing styles ect. Long term I'd like to get in studio and be able to record our music. And along with that I'd love to see us grow in our walk with Jesus and to be able to spread the word through our music.

Artists you would like to play for?

As for artists I'd like to play for is hard to answer for me because most of the bands are established and I have much respect for, I wouldn't want to "step on toes" or disrespect any of them. But on that note, I don't mind naming bands I wouldn't mind playing with. Rush would be my biggest choice, there is years of experience in them and I'd be able to learn a great deal. Mushroomhead, I've been a long time fan, I've also become personal friends with Thomas Church the guitarist, but the reason is that I've always been fascinated by their drummer Skinny. Then bands as Seventh Day Slumber, Jesus Culture, Hillsong, Slipknot, Godsmack, all for different reasons.

List some of your accomplishments:

Musically it's mostly personal accomplishments, I've played at the Whisky a couple times, I recorded 2 albums with my band After Midnight (way back in high school) and done some studio work, but there's no Grammy awards or MTV awards, it will be the biggest accomplishment if we lead 1 person to the lord with our music.

Do you play any other instruments?

Not really, I can play bass but never really kept with it and I can play "More Human Than Human" by Rob Zombie on guitar but that's as far as it goes.

What are your touring experiences, if any?

As I mentioned I played the Whisky, and did a small 3 day show in Vegas, but haven't done any touring since.

Describe your current set up & gear - heads and sticks...ect?

I use a Yamaha D.P. Series 5 piece. I use 2 snares a Gretsch Catalina series as my secondary and primary I custom built myself. 18" Zildjian ZBT crash/ride, 18" ZXT crash/ride, 10" Zildjian ZXT splash, 13" Zildjian ZBT hi hats, 18" Wuhan china, Remo Pinstripe heads, Evans hydraulic bass batter head, Pulse double peddle, Yamaha rack, and Vic Firth, Techra and Ahead sticks, DW 5120 throne, and Ahead drum gloves.

Would you consider yourself a gear junkie?

I'd have to say I am. I have a plastic storage crate full of hardware, it comes out to around 3-4 full kits. On my set I am totally a junkie, I put what I know and love on my kit.

Do you have a “Dream Kit”?

There are a few kits that I wouldn't mind having, I'd start with Neil Peart of Rush, absolutely one of the most amazing kits I've seen. Joey Jordinson his kit from Vol.3. And Mike Portnoy his kit when he played for Dream Theater.

If you weren’t playing drums, what would you be doing?

I'd probably still find a way to play, but it wouldn't be as fun or meaningful as it is now. Playing in church for the Lord is so fulfilling and fun, if I wasn't playing in church I would be playing in a garage somewhere with no real purpose.

How do you describe your drumming style?

I would describe it as loose yet technical. I tend to blend different techniques throughout a set.

How has drumming impacted or changed your life?

Drumming has helped me in many ways. I suffer with clinical depression and it's a hard road but something happens when I sit down behind my kit, it's seems as though all my problems, pain, ect. just go away. When I'm playing I'm at peace.

Is Music a full time career for you?

As much as it can be. No matter what is going on i always try to find time for music, I'm hoping to be able to tour with the band, but everything in his time not ours.

Are you involved in the local music scene in your hometown, other than just playing in your band and at church?

Yes and no, there are a few local bands I support. My brother (not blood) Joey Gonzalez just released his first album Psydeshow - Testimony Of A Freak, so I'm giving a lot of support to him.

Name 5 of your drumming influences? why?

Neil Peart - I own his video Anatomy Of A Drum Solo and his approach to drumming is a great learning tool.

Shannon Larkin - I have always liked his unique style, the way he plays is just awesome.

Skinny of Mushroomhead - Big fan he doesn't do any fancy tricks or trys to be center of attention he just puts it down.

Joey Jordinson - So much talent, I've watched many videos of him and I'm still blown away.

John Bonham - Just a beast behind the kit. He could bring big booming beats or just lay back and flow.

Name an inspiring concert that made you want to go home and start shedding?

It would have to be Queensryche, I went with a friend man we got back to his place and started jamming, we thought we were sounding like them but I guarantee we didn't.

How much time do you practice?

As much as I can, any free time I have you'll find me behind my kit.

What types of things do you work on, in those sessions?

Each time I play I try to push myself beyond what I know. Currently I'm working on double hand crossovers, they are not easy.

Do you record drum videos of yourself? if so,  how has it helped you?

I've never videotaped myself, my wife has filmed me from time to time. It helps to see where I need improvement.

Do you prefer studio sessions or live gigs?

I prefer both. Studio time is where the creative juices flow and if you mess up it doesn't matter. But live, there's nothing like the feeling you get being able to look out and see hundreds or thousands of people singing your songs.

Do you have a crazy or interesting gig you can share with us?

Back in my senior year of high school I played in a band called "The Cheesecakes" (pun intended), we were invited to play in battle of the bands at a Catholic school. We were the only band not from that school. So time comes the introduce us and the auditorium is dead quiet, it was creepy. So off we go we just put it down hard, all of a sudden the place erupts to a almost deafening pitch. Back stage we get bum rushed for pictures autographs so on, all this time the other bands are performing. Needless to say the attention we got aggravated everyone so bad they disqualified us. But we had fun.

What are your words of wisdom for your fellow drummers out there?

Never stop learning new things, be willing to take time and talk with any fellow drummer, no matter how good or bad they are you can learn something from everyone. And as I've learned be humble, having a big head about your abilities will quickly loose you fans friends and even your shot at the big show.

Never stop loving being a drummer.

Last Words, Links, Hashtags and Thank You’s???

Thank yous - of course big thank you to our Lord for blessing me with the ability to play, My wife Jennifer for always picking my sticks up and pushing me back when I've wanted to quit, my kids for putting up with me. Jason, Dennis, Chris and the Robb family you all keep us going. Josh Edwards for being so talented and willing to play with this old guy. Pastor Charles and Willie for welcoming my family into our church. And to DeHaven thank you for letting me part of this, it's a great honor.

A Big Thx to Sean for talking the time to share a bit of what he is about.
Don't 4get to connect with him on Soc. Med.
I also wanted to thank Sean's wife, Jennifer and their daughter, whom I met when they came to the Olio show. Thx Guys!!!
I would also like to send a special shout out to Sean's son, Zachary, who is serving our country right now. I along with all of the readers appreciate you for your service.

See, these are the kind of drummers I wanted expose.
Why? Because everybody who is out there busting their hump, deserves to get some recognition for all the hard work they do. Every drummer so far, has been kool and really interesting for me. I would never know any of this stuff...we would just be strangers online, who like to play the drums.


Alright, so do you or someone you know want to be interviewed and get some free promo?!?!?

Just hit me up. First Come, First Served

Devin Beaman

So..this edition of TC is a special one for me as I got to interview a longtime, childhood friend of mine. We've known each other since around 6th grade or so...when he & his mom joined my church. We used to to hang out during choir rehearsals and cause trouble, just being boys. But one thing that we always had in common was music and drums. Now that we have grown older and have families, we don't get to hang out like we would like to and just talk shop but when we do, we make the most of it. I am very proud of his accomplishments as a musician and as a husband & father. I definitely looking fwd to seeing him do more great things.
He just released a brand new drum video featuring his own original composition, which you will see & hear. He is also working on some other kool stuff that's gonna drop soon.

Volume 39 - Korian Hannah

KORIAN HANNAH

Hello once again, my drummer fam and readers of Talkin' Chop.
I bring you greetings from the sunshine state, Florida.
(via my office chair in Cali.)
This interview is a good one and hope you dig it. We're gonna get into some Gospel and some Blues and a little of everything in between. Like all of the previous interviewees, this kat is another great example of the hustle. Enticed by and driven by the sound and feel of 'the drum' at a young age, Korian submitted to this thing called music and it's beautiful ambassador, Drums.
Growing up in church, getting his training and moving on to other genres and using his craft wherever he can. He has proven himself to be a kat you call and count on.

With continuing aspirations in music, from playing with national artists to completing his solo EP and bringing to fruition his own band, this brother has got a lot going for himself and I'm glad he took the time to Talk a little Chop with me..and you.


*

Name or Stage Name: 
My name is Korian Hannah/adrummerslove

Where are you from? 
I am from Miami, Florida born and raised in the county, Dade 

How long have you been playing? 
I've been playing drums for over 20 years

What is or are your main genre of playing? 
Gospel and Blues. However I am fluent in all music genres 

How did you get where you are now? 
I am the drummer at my church, St. Peter's Missionary Baptist Church and I have learned that walking by faith and not by sight knowing Gods favor is upon me will lead me down the right paths and to the right people. Knowing this has made networking, self promoting and building healthy relationships with anyone I encounter, possible.

What are some of your goals? 
Short term Goals are to finish my EP. Long term goals are to be on a musical level that will enable me to be financially independent. Not having to work 3 jobs and gig a lot to make ends meet. 

Artists you would like to play for? 
Oh boy what artist don't I want to play for? At one point in time, I wanted to play for Kelly Price so bad lol. However with so many great artist out now I'll be glad to to have the opportunity to play with one of them. 

List some of your accomplishments- 
Had the ability to tour the East Coast last year with Rockin Jack Band, Endorsed by Soultone Cymbals and Queen City Drums, attended NAMM Convention in 2016, played and toured with the Lee Boys, Eliza Neals and Christina Robinson.

Do you have your own band or do your freelance? 
I have started my own band, 2JK, where currently we are the house band at Spitters for their open mic events. Most of the work I acquire is from freelancing. On the other hand, I play consistently with a Juke band (www.jukepostblues.com)

Do you play any other instruments? 
I started out on the drums however while in middle school, high school and College, I played the sousaphone. Since then I've learned how to play Bass Guitar and started learning keys. 

What are your touring experiences, if any? 
My first tour was with The Lee Boys back in 2010. Since then I have been on the road with them a few more times as a sub. I recently did tour with an artist by the name of Rockin Jake. Being on the road has its perks especially if you're with a group that likes to have a good time and doesn't have ego and attitude issues. The only part I would say that gets to me is missing my kids, family and my church.

Describe your current set up & gear -   
I am currently using a Gretsch Catalina Maple kit (which I've had for about 8 years and is still in perfect condition) 10", 12" Rack Toms 14" & 16" Floor Toms, 22" Kick and a choice of snares, I also currently use Evans EC2 Coated Drums heads. Soultone cymbals setup is 13" Vintage Hi-Hats & 14 Extreme Hi-Hats, 17" Custom Brilliant crash, 16" Extreme Crash, 21" Vintage ride, 17" FXO 12 Effect Crash, 15" & 18" Gospel Crashes. Now when it comes to sticks. I'm all over the place lol. I use a pair of Aaron Spears signature Sticks by Vic Firth, Chris Coleman signature sticks by Vic Firth, I use Vator Gospel Fusion sticks and you know the bag of 10 pairs of sticks from Guitar Center, yea those are always a great deal lol. 

Do you have multiple kits and snares? 
I have one kit that I have had for 8 years and it is still in great condition, I have an electronic kit that I use for practice, rehearsals and to record drums sessions using addictive drums 2. I have 5 snares also. 

Which wood shells do you prefer? 
I've never been really big on wood. They all have a unique tone that can be used in many different genres. As long as you find the right heads to use and tune them well for whatever genre it is, in my opinion, you will have a nice sound. 

Do you have a “Dream Kit”? 
 When I was little I used to want Mike Portnoy's Purple Dream Theater kit Lol. Now, just give some good quality drums and I'm good to go lol. After attending NAMM this year and seeing so many other drum companies if I did have a dream kit, Love Drums struck my attention while at NAMM

How would you describe your drumming style? 
Pocket with a little seasoning. 

Soultone Cymbals - Korian Hanna - Bass-n-Drums

Why the drums? 

That's where it's all started lol.. Sitting by the drummer in church as little boy waiting for offering or the end service to get on the drums. My moms friend and my brother were in a quartet signing group and I would go to the rehearsals and just watch and listen. Until one day the drummer stopped playing for the group and what better chance to get and I started playing drums for the group, Trueway Gospel Singers. 

If you weren’t playing drums, what would you be doing? 
I would probably be playing Bass guitar or Keys

How has drumming impacted your life? 
Drumming has impacted my life by helping me become more meek, humbled and wanting to leave behind a legacy for my family. I've built many relationships that have become very important to me. It has given me the chance to travel, learn, explore, and so much more. 

Is the music business your career? 
Although I have two part time jobs yes I consider music business to be my career. 

Are you involved in the local music scene in your hometown? 
Yes I am very much so. When not gigging I try to support other local artist in different events or possibly sit in when needed or even if it's just to jam.

Name 5 of your drumming influences? why? 
My first musical influence was Mike Portnoy. When I was about younger the church I played for at the time had just bought a new Tama Star Cast Kit and it came with an instructional VHS Cassette Tape with Mike Portnoy, Kenny Aronoff, and Thomas Lang I believe were featured in this video. I admired Mike Portnoy segment. I would rewind his part and try to study his playing however he was way to skilled for me to keep up with. Next came along Mr. Calvin Rodgers. I first heard of him playing with Pastor John P. Kee and New Life Community Choir on the Not Guilty Album. His fills and placement are amazing along with precision. Next I would have to say Tony Royster Jr. His style of playing is very urban. I got a chance to shake his hand and sit next to him at Joy the Drummers event in California for NAMM 2016. Next we have Eric Moore. His speed around the kit is just unheard of lol. The combinations he puts together are very well thought out. Aaron Spears, this guy is just solid and powerful. I've always thought he had an advantage of being a leftie playing right handed

Name an inspiring concert that made you want to go home and start shedding? 
Going to any concert for me just makes me want to get better. I've been to many concerts and afterwards there is just this feeling that sometimes can't even be explained only felt.

How much time do you practice? 
I try to practice at least 1-2 hrs a day

Are you involved in local Shedding sessions? what do you get out of those sessions? 
I haven't been to any shedding sessions in such a long time and if they have them I really don't know about them because I'm always working or gigging. 

Describe your current gig(s) 
I'm a full time drummer at my church, St. Peter's Missionary Baptist Church (www.stpetemiami.org) I am currently playing with a band named Juke (www.jukepostblues.com), and whoever else calls. 

Do you record drum videos of yourself? how has it helped you? I most certainly do record myself. It's helps with promoting myself by putting little promo videos together, sharing on social media, and listening back to hear mistakes as well as observe what others see.

aDummersLove Promo Vid

Do you concentrate on Chops or Grooves? 
Grooves are very important 

Are you into electronic drums or programming? 
I'm into programming for the most part. I've done a couple sessions on electronic drums. 

Are you a songwriter? 

Yes, I am a songwriter currently working on an EP.  

As a songwriter, what do you want to say with your lyrics and music?

As a songwriter I write how I am feeling spiritually at the time where I believe it takes people to place that we can all relate to. So in my lyrics I keep it simple and encourage people to believe and keep the faith no matter what life throws.

If anyone would like to donate, all donations are welcomed at www.gofundme.com/adrummerslove

Do you sing and play? 
I was raised singing and playing quartet music. 

Do you prefer studio sessions, local live gigs or touring? I prefer studio sessions because I can always go back and listen to myself playing to see what can be done better and how I can potentially improve playing.

Do you prefer being in a band (artist) or being a sideman? 
I prefer a band. 

aDrummersLove Promo Vid (2014)

Do you have a crazy or interesting gig that you can share with us? 
Just imagine a drunken guy trying to take the guitar off of the guitar player while he is playing and stumbling over his pedal box destroying cables. Lol that night was pretty interesting. And needless to say the bouncers picked him up and literally threw him out.

What are your words of wisdom for your fellow drummers out there? 
First and foremost keep God first in all you do. No matter what people may think about your playing, no matter how many calls you don't get, no matter how many people you reach out to to help you grow musically or whatever the case may be, do the best you can until you get better. Never give up. There will be dry seasons where calls are not as high as the usually are. However, that's not the time to get discouraged. Use the time to practice, network, and connect with other people, go out and be entertained by other musicians and network some more. 

Last Words, Links, Hashtags and Thank You’s??? 
 I can't end this interview without thanking God for thinking of me to bless me with the gift, everyone that believed in my vision and prayed for me and help me rise to stardom. Thank my mother for always being supportive and willing to help me out in every area. I have to definitely thank my lovely, beautiful, magnificent better half, that is crazy enough to put up with me and really demonstrate her love for me by always being in my corner. She is the epitome of "beside a good man, there is a great woman." I love you dearly. I have to personally say thank you to my Pastor, without your guidance it may have taken me longer to get where I am today. And my last thank you is to you for giving me this opportunity to share a piece of my life with those who follow your blog. I really appreciate it

It's always a good feeling to know there are some good katz out there and they have an incredible love for music. Musicians who want to share the gift the have been given with others.
Korian, thx for being a part of TC. I am thankful for you sharing a piece of your drum life with us. Can't wait until you come back to Cali or when I get back to Miami, so we do lunch.(i'm for real)
Hey everybody, please make sure you hit up Korian and drop a hello on one of his pages and support his EP project and make a donation. I know he would greatly appreciate it!

I hope you guys enjoyed getting to know aDrummersLove (i dig that)
