This month we talk to Ged Lynch to find out more about his gig with Peter Gabriel, that sees him tour North America with both Gabriel and Sting as they trade songs and Ged trades licks with Sting's drummer, the mighty Vinnie Colauita! Ian Matthews tells us about playing the big gigs with Kasabian, and then welcomes us to his new business venture alongside Al Murray and master drum builder Keith Keough at the British Drum Company.
