The Trap Set With Joe Wong –Tuesdays – Noon
Milwaukee native and composer Joe Wong brings us The Trap Set With Joe Wong, a weekly series about the lives of drummers. Although the craft of drumming is discussed, it is a springboard for larger discussions about life. Because of the emphasis on human interest stories, the show is for music fans and non-music-fans alike. Featured drummers include: Slayer’s Dave Lombard, Melvins’ Dale Crover Don Cherry’s drummer Hamid Drake, Guns And Roses’s Izzy Stradlin, and Weird Al’s drummer Bermuda Shwartz.
