Speaker 2 (00:14):
David's up, guys, stay tuned later in life. It's Kevin
Belt Kevin Belt Podcast. I am here with Brandon Zachi
from Whitechapel and you are the newest drummer of Whitechapel
and you have the chops. You think you kill it, dude,
Hymns of Distance, I mean, awesome album. Should Die. Tell
me about your background? Where did you come from? Tell
(00:35):
me about the drums everything.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
My background.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
So, I'm from southern California, which is funny because I'm
the only person in the band.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
The whole band is from Tennessee except for.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Me, so I'm the odd California boy out.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
But yeah, I started playing drums when I was.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Really young, and maybe like nine years old, started getting
like drum lessons, played drum set stuff. Once I got
kind of a little bit older in high school and stuff,
I actually ended up doing more of the marching kind
of stuff, marching band, drum corps of course, yeah. So
I did that actually for a long time, and I'm
still really involved in that. I teach a lot of
that a couple of high schools. I teach at college
drum mind too.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah. And then after I was done with.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
About twenty one ish, I kind of got back into
the metal drum set world and I've just been kind
of gig and since then, and then jowing up with
Whitechapel into twenty twenty two I think now, so it's
been already almost three years.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Wow, is right by it does?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, but prior to Whitechapel you were involved in other projects.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yes, I think you just wake up and joined White Chapel.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
No, No, So before White Chop I was playing with the
Enterprise Earth. Yeah, just another kind of death core band.
Before that, I played in a local kind of black
metal band called Sakarius.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I toured with this guy, Felix Martin.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's kind of like a gent kind of I don't know,
metal animals as leaders kind of meets primus. I guess
this is what it kind of sounds like, versatility. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so you know I'm playing a lot of events. Well, the
first band I was actually and this is pretty funny
is that with Mark Hoyleman from Suicide Silence. So I
actually went to high school with him, so we we
go way back.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'll see him today too, we're playing the same stage.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'll tell you out the drums. What do you play now?
Why do you play them? And what's your preference?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So like as far as like the actual yeah, the
actual drums themselves. So I play with Maypex. I'm a
Maypex artist. I play Mapex drums. I like Maypex because
I think it's a really good kind of the brand
is a really good balance between quality and affordability, you know,
so you're getting like pretty high end sounding drums. I
think they can, like, you know, you can put them
pretty much toe to toe with any of the more
(02:24):
expensive brands, but they're at a little bit more of
an affordable price. So that's kind of why I like
like Maypex and why I was drawn to them originally,
and then I ended up kind of going with them
as an artist. So that's what I've been playing. I've
been with them since twenty twenty one, so it's been
about four years. How about symbols Zilgion. Why is Zildin
is just they're the best. Yes, they're the best. Yeah,
Zilgian's like, actually, I believe they're the oldest company that
(02:48):
still makes the same product from when they started, if
that makes sense. So they're like over four hundred years
old and they've been making symbols the whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
There's some companies that are older, but they've like like
I think like Nintendo might be older, but they changed.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They're not doing the trading cords are exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, So yeah, I think Zilden is like the oldest
company that's still.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Like reliability too exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, how did how did you get that email, phone,
text whatever to join White chap Will walk me through
like you what was the mindset for that and anything?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So Actually, funnily enough, it came from Mark Howman from
Suicide Silence. He you know, I hadn't played in a
anathem since we were in like high school, but we
still kind of kept in contact, and when why Chupp
was looking for a drummer, I got a text from
him one day and he was just like, Hey, you
want to play the White Chapel And I was like yeah,
And then you know, and then I ended up kind
of getting in contact with Alex from Whitechapel, and he
(03:39):
basically was just like, you know, send us a few
videos up playing like a song or two. I send
them some videos and then it kind of just it
just happened that way.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So connections love, Yeah, and paid off and you're playing
loud in life.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Have you been to a fst wolt this big before?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So, actually we played here two years ago. We were
supposed to play her last year too, but.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It ended up getting a hurricane hurricane thing. Yeah, so
we were here last.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Year, but we sat on the bus the whole time.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
But yeah, so we played here two years ago.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I've played a lot of the American festivals after shock.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
We're welcome to Rockville.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Even two years ago it was smaller than it is. Yes, true,
this is bigger, I think. Yeah, it's it's pretty cool
to kind of see it keep growing. And yeah, we
played a lot of the europe festivals too, so it's
been it's been pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Festivals are always good time.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
It's kind of like it's kind of like, especially we're
not on tour right now, so that for us, it's
just kind of like a one off. Yeah, but when
you are on tour and then you get to play
a festival. It's kind of like a fun change of pace,
you know, because you're on tour, so if you play
a lot of the.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Same venues, you're with the same bands, you see the.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Same people, and then you come to festivals like, oh
I got all of these different bands and people that
you haven't seen in a long time. You know.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It's kind of like fun.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
What is your pre show ritual?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Pre sure ritual?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I don't have anything super specific, like I don't like
listen to like the same song or something.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I like.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I warm up for sure, so usually advance maybe our
forty five minutes. It's not super crazy not to. I
try not to like burn out because I feel like
if I play for too long, then when I get
on a stage, I'm like already like kind of tired,
you know. So I try to so warm up to
where I feel like I'm like all right, I'm ready
to go, and then you know, basically I'm good for
(05:12):
the set. So maybe usually just playing on a pad
maybe for about twenty thirty minutes, and I'll either I'll
have my set of pedals on like a little base
from pad, or I'll just like play with my legs.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Like on the floor kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Even sometimes I'll just stuff without sticks, so I'm just
kind of going like this, just kind of getting the
muscles going or like some finger yeah, you know, kind
of exercises and stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
So favorite track off the record and wy that's hard.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I don't know, it's hard to choose.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I think right now I'm kind of in the process
of learning the songs because we have a tour coming
up in November where we're playing the whole album. So
some of the songs I haven't played since we recorded,
so kind of like kind of going back and relearning them.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I think Bedlam's my favorite right now.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It's pretty fun and it's kind of got a lot
more variety from the other songs, so I think that
that's why I like it right now.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
So yeah, I'll go with that one.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Any advice you would give to up and coming artists,
what would it be?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
And why?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Just be cool?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
You know, like roll with the punches. There's there's I
always say, like with with getting a gig, there's kind
of three steps to it. You know, you have to
like have the connection to get in, you know, get
your foot in the door. You to have the ability
to play the gig, right, but then you also have
to have the ability to keep the gig. And by
what I mean by that is you to be cool,
you know, because it's like, if you're on tour, how
(06:35):
much are we actually playing, you know as a group,
maybe an hour with sound check, maybe two hours a day.
You know, the rest of the time it's just hanging
out your backstage, you're on the bus, you're you know,
in close quarters with these people. So if you're not
cool and you're a dick and you can't like get
along with other people, then you're not gonna be able
to keep the gig, you know. So that's kind of
(06:55):
is my my way to look at it, you know.
So don't just focus on the playing, you know, make
sure that you're you're able personality wise to hang with
people too.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
When you're not in the zone or warming operating drama
or metal mode.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Yeah, what are you doing? What's keeping your business?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Video games? I like to play video games.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I like to read what's the best video game of
all time?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Video game of all time? Oh man, that's still hard.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'll go BioShock this interviews over on Adventure Too was the.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Answer Sonic like you were talking on Sega Sega.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I'm in GameCube for me.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Goody bioshof one, two or three, the first one.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I like all of them though, but yeah these have
their own unique flavor.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Do you bring stuff with you on the road, like
a switch or anything?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, I have like a little Xbox rig actually, so
I have the Xbox series s, the white one, the
smaller one, and then like a little portable monitor and
I was like plug it up into that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's pretty good and I got it.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think I got the Xbox like used on like
Facebook marketplaces, right, one hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
The monitor was like fifty bucks. It was like I
have a total hole spent, like maybe just a little
tour RG yeah okay, yeah so if it doesn't get destroyed.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Actually, funny story when I was on tour with the
Enterprise Earth, somebody actually spilt a white claw into like
the way the thing looks as like a fan on
the top, and it went like perfectly into it and
then like shut off. I was like, oh god no,
but I'm just taking apart and kind of low drying it. Yeah,
it works fine.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So as a drummer, what's one piece of advice that's
carried with you over the years.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
One of these of advice or like or maybe something
you've learned that's stuck with you honestly, Like just I
think for drumming, the most important thing that I think
a lot of people kind of overlook is just playing
with a metronome and just understanding how rhythms fit in time.
I feel like, especially in metal, people just want to
play like fast, right, but then they kind of skip
past some of the basic things because you're so focused on.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Speed they fund on exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, So with like my students and stuff, I always
go back to the fundamentally, even myself. I always like
That's partly why I like teaching, because I'm always having
to revisit the basics and the fundamentals. But then I
come back at it with like a kind of fresh outlook,
you know, even though I've been playing these same things
for you know, the ten twenty years or whatever, But
every time I come back to it like, Okay, now
(09:00):
I have a kind of my fresh outlook on it,
you know, a different, different point of view.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Awesome. Any final words you want to say to fans,
Thanks for.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
The support you know, come see us.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I gues said, We're gonna be on tour in the
US in November. That's us headlining. So yeah, so I
believe with I'm blanking on the support pans right next
to Don't Kill Me.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
But we had a lot going on tour.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, we're going on tour and then we're doing a
tour in Europe too in February early next year. That's
with Laurna Shore. So yeah, so check us out. That
should be fun awesome.

that makes sense. So they're like over four hundred years
old and they've been making symbols the whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
There's some companies that are older, but they've like like
I think like Nintendo might be older, but they changed.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They're not doing the trading cords are exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, So yeah, I think Zilden is like the oldest
company that's still.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Like reliability too exactly.

to have the ability to keep the gig. And by
what I mean by that is you to be cool,
you know, because it's like, if you're on tour, how
(06:35):
much are we actually playing, you know as a group,
maybe an hour with sound check, maybe two hours a day.
You know, the rest of the time it's just hanging
out your backstage, you're on the bus, you're you know,
in close quarters with these people. So if you're not
cool and you're a dick and you can't like get
along with other people, then you're not gonna be able
to keep the gig, you know. So that's kind of
(06:55):
is my my way to look at it, you know.
So don't just focus on the playing, you know, make
sure that you're you're able personality wise to hang with
people too.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
When you're not in the zone or warming operating drama
or metal mode.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Yeah, what are you doing? What's keeping your business?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Video games? I like to play video games.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I like to read what's the best video game of
all time?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Video game of all time? Oh man, that's still hard.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Goody bioshof one, two or three, the first one.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I like all of them though, but yeah these have
their own unique flavor.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Do you bring stuff with you on the road, like
a switch or anything?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, I have like a little Xbox rig actually, so
I have the Xbox series s, the white one, the
smaller one, and then like a little portable monitor and
I was like plug it up into that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's pretty good and I got it.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think I got the Xbox like used on like
Facebook marketplaces, right, one hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
The monitor was like fifty bucks. It was like I
have a total hole spent, like maybe just a little
tour RG yeah okay, yeah so if it doesn't get destroyed.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Actually, funny story when I was on tour with the
Enterprise Earth, somebody actually spilt a white claw into like
the way the thing looks as like a fan on
the top, and it went like perfectly into it and
then like shut off. I was like, oh god no,
but I'm just taking apart and kind of low drying it. Yeah,
it works fine.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So as a drummer, what's one piece of advice that's
carried with you over the years.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
One of these of advice or like or maybe something
you've learned that's stuck with you honestly, Like just I
think for drumming, the most important thing that I think
a lot of people kind of overlook is just playing
with a metronome and just understanding how rhythms fit in time.
I feel like, especially in metal, people just want to
play like fast, right, but then they kind of skip
past some of the basic things because you're so focused on.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Speed they fund on exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, So with like my students and stuff, I always
go back to the fundamentally, even myself. I always like
That's partly why I like teaching, because I'm always having
to revisit the basics and the fundamentals. But then I
come back at it with like a kind of fresh outlook,
you know, even though I've been playing these same things
for you know, the ten twenty years or whatever, But
every time I come back to it like, Okay, now
(09:00):
I have a kind of my fresh outlook on it,
you know, a different, different point of view.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Awesome. Any final words you want to say to fans,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
