Season 2 - Ep. 8 - The World's Most Passionate Drummer with Emily Dolan Davies

I am going to be speaking with drummer extraordinaire Emily Dolan-Davies who has worked with quite a few famous acts like The Darkness, The Hours, Bryan Ferry and Cher Lloyd and runs her own business to help musicians make money with their musical abilities, and she also creates drum tracks remotely for musical acts and sampling at EmilyDrums.com. 

She is also currently the drummer in the house band on The Voice Kids in the UK. I am going to be digging into all this and more with Emily.
