Today my guest is Adrian Harpham.


Adrian is an excellent drummer based in NYC and Philly.  He has played with folks like Leo Nocentelli (of the Meters), Bernie Worrell, Chromeo, Amel Larrieux, Dr. John, Tom Scott, Oz Noy, Screaming Headless Torsos, and so many more.

Besides being a stellar drummer, Adrian also has moved into the realm of music production and has produced over 30 records as well as having his own imprint label called Modern Icon Recordings which is part of the Ropeadope label.

I first met Adrian back in 2006 on a few gigs that we did together and we’ve been friends ever since.  It had been a while since he and I had chatted so it was great to catch up.  We had a great conversation and here’s how that went.
