  • Summary

  • My name is Jeremie Foster, and I am the host of The Drum Lounge Podcast along with my college friend Bryon Russell. I have so many experiences and stories to share both inside and outside of drumming that I believe will be of inspiration to those who are drummers, those that are fans of drummers, and those who are just fans of podcasts in general.

    In addition, I plan on reviewing different high school and HBCU bands/drumlines, interviewing different band directors/section leaders, providing tips and advice on being a better drummer, providing history on drumming, speaking on the culture of HBCU Life, and speaking on what’s going on currently in our Black culture in general.

    Episodes for Season 3 are released every week, and will be available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts!
