Percussion Discussion Podcast - Episode 192 - Ed Evans
Joining me today is Ed Evans.
Ed is ( i think ) The youngest drummer to appear on the podcast so far, however at the tender age of just 21 Ed and the equally young band that he plays for Jayler have achieved more in the last few years than many musicians will achieve in a life time!!
The midlands based band already have an EP and a full album entitle Voices Unheard that was released earlier in 2026, Festival appearances worldwide, a recent support tour with Sammy Hagar and his band, including legendary musicians Joe Satriani, Kenny Aronoff and Michael Anthony. Later this year the band embark on a lengthy European tour supporting the mighty Deep Purple!
Ed already has endorsements with Ludwig Drums, Paiste Cymbals and Vater Drumsticks, this combined with a level headed approach, a glorious feel, and a playing style with a nod to the pioneers of rock drumming such as Bonham, Bill Ward and Mitch Mitchell can only propel him and Jayler further up the ladder!
Huge thanks to Ed for giving up his time to do this and for creating the stunning backdrop of his new Blue Ludwig Drum Set, Paiste Cymbals including the Magnificent gong!
