They share how they both enjoy talking about making a living playing drums and the logistical, psychological, physical and emotional obstacles that are inherent within the profession. They discuss some of the misconceptions of the music business, the desire to learn and understand one's options, the art of asking questions and why it can be hard for some to open up. Matt and Zack also answer the “Behind the Curtain” questions.

“And over this journey of about 8 years, my confidence has grown exponentially in just being able to, like, meet people, get to know them, respect them, and also understand their concerns, their issues, their problems, their successes, their failures, are very much inline with me, with my life and it’s like man, I can do it. And also, take ownership of my joy and my relationship with music, my relationship with drums and be happy with that.” - Matt Crouse
