Recorded May 2026
Kai is a drummer from the UK who first caught my attention through a series of studio clips and an interview with Greg Hutchinson, who has been his teacher, mentor, and then produced Kai’s album, “A Time Once Forgotten”.
Kai is not only a fantastic player, he’s very insightful and I think you’ll get a lot from this conversation.
