A great conversation with musician Tom Kammer. I met Tom more than 20 years ago when I started playing in a band, Rearview Mirror, with his son, TJ. At that point Tom had been playing drums for nearly his entire life after getting his first drum kit at the age of 7 and performing live at the age of 10 , and thus had a lot of great insight and advice to offer to us as young band starting out based on his years of experience in the business. It was a great pleasure to get to learn more details of Tom’s musical history, hear some great stories from his touring days, and most importantly to discuss the way playing music can facilitate deep personal connections that last a lifetime.
