INTERVIEW:




Dan Shinder



CEO of Drum Talk TV
Co- Founder of Social Media on Steroids
I had a great opportunity to interview Dan Shinder, CEO of Drum Talk TV and Co-Founder of Social Media on Steroids! Dan and I had an incredible discussion over the challenges and successes that catapulted him to where he is today!

He is the primary host of shows on the Drum Talk TV network. In 1970, when he was 7, he started playing drums. By the age of 15 he was touring and opening for bands like Blue Oyster Cult, Styx, Seals & Crofts, and Heart. Mr. Shinder’s experience includes composing, producing in several genres—subsequently spending more than a decade in television and video production. Mr. Shinder produced and hosted his own cooking television show, and directed corporate videos, biographies, documentaries, and live news shows for the internet. He’s Drum Talk TV’s secret sauce—the personality behind the brand: his penetrating yet playful interviewing style puts artists at ease, engages audiences, and demonstrates the broad spectrum of his knowledge of drumming, music, and business.
