My guest today is Andrew Toy. Also known as @AToyDrummer online on twitter, youtube, and instagram. He’s got a new album out called Guardrails which is featured at the link in the notes. The song “Sneaking Suspicions" is featured on the episode. I just met Andrew a couple weeks ago when he came in to the studio where I was recording to do some drum tracks. I’ve been fortunate to play with a lot of good drummers but Andrew’s really on another level. By the sound of it he’s playing around the world for many years now. And is currently promoting his new percussion based album. He says he uses percussion as a starting point for composition and sonic exploration. In the studio and on stage, Andrew twists, distorts, and re-arranges the sound of the drums beyond recognition to create soundscapes that are both intense and atmospheric. I sort of described it as what you might hear the Matrix was based in the jungle. But anyway when had a fun chat so hopefully you enjoy it whether you are friends or fans of his.
