Introducing session drummer extraordinaire, Cat Myers. For more than a decade, Cat has been making her name known and lending her talents to the likes of Mogwai, Texas, KT Tunstall and more, touring across the globe and playing in the world's most iconic venues.
As a proud Roland artist, Cat specialises in incorporating electronics and samples into drumming, attempting to push the boundaries of what she can play live. We thought it was only right to invite Cat along to our new Roland store in Glasgow to chat all things drums, her influencers and to learn more about her career so far. Cat has great tales to tell about working in the industry, so grab a cuppa and settle into our interview.
