Percussion Discussion - Episode 83 - Nigel Glockler
Joining me today is Nigel Glockler
Nigel is best known for powering British NWOBHM Legends Saxon since 1981. Join Nigel and myself as we talk about his incredible career from his beginnings with early influences taken from both the drummers with The Shadows - Tony Meehan and Brian Bennett and American drummer Sandy Nelson.
Nigel also talks about his time with Toyah in the very early 80's and the recording of her seminal album "Anthem"
We also talk about Nigel's time as an endorsee with Premier Drums and of course his more recent relationship with Stockport based British Drum Co.
We talk about the new Saxon album "Carpe Diem" and its incredible Songs, Musicianship and production plus we chat briefly about the 2021 album "Inspirations" an album made of cover versions including the Toto classic "Hold the Line" this version got a big thumbs up from Steve Lukather
What a joy chatting to Nigel, one of the friendliest and nicest guys in the business! Nigel - Thank you for giving up your time so generously!
Many thanks to our mutual friend (and Nigels former drum tech) Paul Copeland - Watts for connecting us both.
Please share with your friends and leave us a review!
