Tim sits down with Ramone Pickover, the powerhouse drummer for Grand Mirage. Ramone shares the story behind their gritty new single, “Ill-Gotten Gains,” including a look inside the sawdust-filled Welsh lovespoon workshop where they filmed the music video. We also dive into his debut book, Life in 8 Beats, exploring how drumming principles like tempo and “hitting hard” can help anyone—musician or not—overcome adversity and reach their goals.
