Ep 56 - Craig Blundell Interview

Dan Shinder and Steven Shinder welcomed Craig Blundell from Steve Hackett's band on this Drum Talk TV/Yesshift simulcast. We talked about influences (a bit of Yes and Bill Bruford talk) and various aspects of his career. Along with being on tour with Mr. Hackett on the Genesis Revisited - Seconds Out + More Tour, Craig has had a very busy career! We show a great drum solo clip, but check out this pedigree:

From 2015 to 2021, Craig tracked and programmed well over 100 different projects and played on over 50 albums, including 6 UK top 10 albums from Steven Wilson to Steve Hackett and contributed drums and programmed for Game soundtracks to TV and Movies, including BBC comedy Toast of Tinseltown. Craig has the full backing and support from Sennheiser, Neumann, Roland and Focusrite.

Craig also composes music for TV, Radio, online magazines and websites for many clients including The BBC, The Gadget Show, Jaguar, TalkSport, KPMG, Coca Cola, Shell and many others and began performing in Genesis Revisited 2019. With Craig Blundell & Steve Hackett
