MAT HECTOR - World Touring Drummer, Hard Work and Graft

Tom Hutch Podcast

My guest on this episode of the podcast is Mat Hector, on Instagram @mat.hits.stuff and Twitter as @mathectordrums, who is currently the drummer for Iggy Pop, or as some call him, the ‘Godfather of Punk’. Prior to getting involved with Iggy, Mat worked with Thomas Dolby, the popular singer and producer who is credited with two hit singles. Further still Mat plays live with the part rock show, part immersive cinema experience Gutterdammerung where he and the rest of the band accompany a silent film featuring some of the biggest rock names on the planet. 'Think of a deafening rock ‘n’ roll version of Secret Cinema taking place in hell and you might just begin to have an idea of what Gutterdammerung is.’ In this episode we cover topics including: Mat’s view on work ethic and focus. The key attributes for becoming a successful drummer. Your attitude on a big gig. Health, fitness and life balance. And much more. Enjoy!
