he drum world. Also Sheila E. Her work with Prince is so iconic, and I admire her so much.
For young drummers just starting to play a full kit, practice is key. Spending time both on the kit and on a practice pad to work on rudiments and hand technique is essential. It’s also beneficial to find friends who play guitar and bass early on to jam with and learn how to play with others.
The album’s car-themed title prompts the question of G Flip’s dream car, both classic and modern. The singer’s dream classic car would be a black 1966 Mustang coupe or the 1970 hot pink Barracuda featured on the album. Interestingly, the Barracuda was initially silver but G Flip painted it pink with the owner’s permission.
Living in LA for a few years, G Flip misses aspects of life in Australia, such as family and friends, the tap water, favorite beer, the smell of the air, and the less hectic driving style. Despite the comforts of living in Australia, the musician continues to enjoy their time in LA.
Regarding music influences, G Flip has been listening to a variety of artists lately, including Justin Bieber, new Dijon, Sabrina Carpenter, jazz artist Mark Hopper, and audio books for bedtime relaxation.
While currently on tour across North America and Canada, G Flip shares plans to tour in the UK in November and return to Australia for shows in February and March. The musician’s schedule is packed with performances in various locations, showcasing the new ’80s-inspired album Dream Ride.
In conclusion, G Flip’s evolution from a drummer to a pop star with an ’80s-inspired sound is evident in their latest album. The meticulous recording process and attention to detail, including background singers and saxophone, contribute to a nostalgic yet fresh sound reminiscent of iconic ’80s artists. The singer’s journey in music, from drumming to songwriting and producing, reflects personal growth and maturity over the course of three albums. As G Flip continues to create and perform, their unique sound and energetic performances captivate audiences worldwide.
