Episode 15: The Rudimental Podcast

TAMS Percussion Podcast

Hello everyone, sorry for the bit of a delay in episodes lately, but we're back with Episode 15 with the one and only Josh Hartwell of the Rudimental Podcast!

Josh Hartwell is a percussionist, performer, and educator currently based in Houston, TX. He currently is the Director of Percussion for Goose Creek Memorial High School and it's feeder cluster in Baytown, TX while also maintaining a freelance performing career. Josh hosts "The Rudimental Podcast", a percussion-based podcast of conversations with performers and educators around the world. It is available on all major streaming platforms.

In this episode, Josh talks to us about his experiences in percussion in Las Vegas, Texas, and Louisiana, his life as a teacher, and a wonderful note about cake shakes! There were many wonderful takeaways that we on TAMS got about running a podcast from Josh and we are looking forward to using some of the lessons he taught us in our future endeavors!

If you're new here, let us introduce ourselves:

The TAMS Percussion Podcast is a percussion based podcast with co-hosts Michael Dolese, Alfred “Sky” Fajardo, Taylor Muñez, and Sui Lin Tam! We are four percussionists with four different backgrounds, wanting to share our perspective in the world of percussion performance and pedagogy. Each of us have a different background and have unique experiences in upbringing, playing style, concentrations, and career paths. We seek to unite all of our shared experiences into this one stop shop of information including interviews with our teachers, notable guests including Josh Jones and Keeghan Fountain, and even other members of the podcast community like Josh Hartwell. The TAMS Percussion Podcast is available on all major streaming platforms.

Don't forget to support us on Patreon for the video versions of this podcast and updates on who we have coming on in the future! We are also working on some merchandise, so be on the lookout for TAMS stickers, shirts, hoodies, and more to come!
