Today I sit down with my friend Dave Elitch and talk about his life behind the Drum Kit playing with legends.

Dave has played Drums for The Mars Volta, Antemasque, Weezer, Killer Be Killed and so many more.

When Dave isn't in the recording studio or out on tour with a band he's teaching drums to some of the biggest in the biz.

This is a fantastic episode on Drums, Watches, Cars and Life.
