Episode 021 - Garrett Tyler on Stepping Out Into the Unknown, Being a "Rookie" On The Outcry Tour, and Hybrid Setups

The Worship Drummer Podcast - Putting The #HeartBeforeBeat

In this episode we catch up with Garrett Tyler who is living in Nashville and pursuing his passion to play drums. 2018 started off as a wide-open blank canvas for Garrett and we get into the details of how God is working all of those things out, one by one.

Garrett was also a "rookie" on the Outcry Tour with Josh Fisher (Jesus Culture), Joe Volk (Bethel Music), and Dan McMurray (Lauren Daigle) and we talk about how that experience felt.

We also squeezed some time to chat about endorsements and hybrid setups. I know you will enjoy this episode!
