My good friend, Hes Retnu, and I had an awesome conversation with Nick Angelini of A Wilhelm Scream. Not only is Nick an awesome drummer, he also builds custom drums under the moniker of Wail City Percussion. We talk a little bit about Wilhem, a lot about drum building, staying in shape as a drummer, and a tiny bit about 80's and 90's NBA basketball.

Thanks so much Nick! We appreciate you!
