Episode 21 of Behind The Kit is one I’ve been incredibly excited to share — a VERY special conversation with the team behind Drumeo.

In this episode, I sit down with Domino Santantonio, Jared Falk, and Brandon Toews — three people who have helped shape one of the most impactful platforms in the drumming world today.

Drumeo has become a global hub for drummers of all levels, known for its world-class education, iconic collaborations, and its ability to bring the drumming community together in a way that’s never been done before. From viral “drummer hears song for the first time” videos to in-depth lessons with some of the greatest players on the planet, their influence on modern drumming is undeniable.

In this conversation, we go behind the scenes of Drumeo — how it all started, the vision behind the platform, and what it takes to consistently create content that inspires millions of drummers around the world. We talk about creativity, consistency, building something meaningful, and the responsibility that comes with shaping the next generation of musicians.

This episode isn’t just about drumming — it’s about passion, innovation, and the power of building something bigger than yourself.

Season 2 continues to grow through conversations like this, and I’m beyond grateful to share this one with the Behind The Kit community.
