Grab your sticks and brace your ears — this week we’re sitting down with the rhythm machine himself, Christopher ‘Padge’ Page, Electrasy’s very own drumming demigod. From his early days tapping out Latin-inspired grooves with his mums knitting needles to smashing it on stage with one of Britpop’s most unexpectedly explosive comebacks, Padge brings the beat and the banter.
We dive into the wild world of drumming, explore how his percussive roots are steeped in salsa, samba, and sheer sweat, and find out what really gets it banging (spoiler: it involves timing, tequila, and occasionally tearing through a drum skin mid-gig).
Expect laughs, unexpected influences, and more rhythmic energy than a caffeine-fuelled conga line. Let’s face it — if your drummer’s not part philosopher, part chaos engine, and 100% legend, are you even in a band?
