The Drum Channel Podcast is where you will hear conversations with the world's greatest drummers and percussionists. Hear their stories and be inspired to take your drumming to the next level.
Hello everyone, welcome to Billy’s Bubble! This episode features a behind-the-scenes look into Def Leppard’s Rick Allen and singer/songwriter Lauren Monroe’s organization Raven Drum Foundation. The organization was started twenty years ago by Rick & Lauren to raise awareness of healing through music, with drum circles, (with many top drummers & musicians) and raising funds for Veterans, First Responders, and people suffering from trauma. This show features a conversation between a few Raven drummers, Styx’s Todd Sucherman, Godsmack’s Shannon Larkin, Widespread Panics Duane Trucks, Allman/Betts John Lum, Ace Frehley/Mr.Big Matt Starr, session legend Alvin Taylor, myself, and Rick Allen and Lauren Monroe. We dig in deep on this one! Enjoy!

S2 E94 - Fred Coury
Hello everyone, Billy Amendola here.
My guest today Fred Coury is mostly known as the drummer from the eighties MTV-multi-platinum-band Cinderella.
Coury and Cinderella parted ways in 1991 and Fred joined Stephen Pearcy of Ratt to form the band Arcade and record two albums.
Fred also briefly substituted for GnR’s drummer Steven Adler in 1987 when health issues forced Adler off the road.
At age five, Coury started taking violin lessons and by age six, studied at the Beirut Conservatory of Music in Beirut, Lebanon. At age ten, he added the trumpet to his repertoire, and at age twelve he started playing the drums. Shortly after, as a teen, Coury was accepted to Berklee School of Music in Boston, for violin.
These days Coury spends most of his time in his Los Angeles recording studio, Double Forte Music, composing as an Emmy multi-award-winning composer for top television shows and sports teams.
In 2021, Coury also co-produced pop sensation and singer/songwriter Debbie Gibson’s “The Body Remembers”
An avid hockey fan, Coury combined his love of the sport with his musical skills to create the “Goal Song” theme for the LA Kings hockey team.
Let’s welcome Fred. Enjoy!

S2 E93 - Cole Marcus
Hello everyone! Billy A. here with my guest Cole Marcus, who is no stranger to our Drum Channel audience.
I remember meeting and seeing Cole mesmerize a crowd at a NAMM SHOW when he was four years old, which doesn’t sound odd these days, but over two decades ago, it wasn’t as common as now.
These days, now twenty-five years old, Cole has released a new single “Cause & Effect,” which he wrote, recorded, sang, as well as playing all the instruments.
In this segment, we talk about recording, songwriting, his early years appearing in movies, and TV commercials, and transitioning into composing for films.
Let’s welcome Cole back to Drum Channel. Enjoy!
