About Drummer Mamas

Drummer Mamas is hosted by drummers, mums and long-time friends Ciara Chinniah and Gemma Hill. Ciara and Gemma love to explore the other side of drummers — less gear, more stories, ideas, experiences and real life. Through honest conversations with drummers from all walks of life, they chat about music, creativity, careers and everything that happens beyond the kit. Because there’s always more to a drummer than drumming. 🥁❤️
