Dirty Honey's New Drummer | Why Corey Coverstone Left The Band

[@Coda6766]

I just saw Dirty Honey 2 days ago perform in NJ. It was then I realized that they have a new drummer. This is the first information I found on the matter and I appreciate you sharing it. I completely understand what Corey means about touring. I was a guitar and bass tech for a couple different major label bands and it gets very monotonous doing the same thing every day over and over.

Corey is a jazz drummer first. Look up his album “A Human Experience”. Great album

[@Coda6766]

@@Topjunkie-r4s I certainly will, thank you for the info.

[@Boonses]

He gets royalties so he’s big chillin

[@WestCoastStruttin99]

I would guess those royalties aren’t anything to write home about. Maybe they’d cover his phone bill and utilities every month lol

[@flyingburritobro68]

More important to take care of yourself and do what makes you happy. Corey can make a good living as a session drummer and avoid the heavy touring etc

@West Coast Struttin' Do you have a link to that performance of the band as The Shags (Live from Los Angeles, CA) that you showed in this vid? I can't find it anywhere

[@WestCoastStruttin99]

Try Vimeo

Good video 🤘

[@WestCoastStruttin99]

Thanks brother🤘🏽 the new LP kicks ass!

[@JasonP-d4i]

I don’t believe Corey story of not wanting to tour. Who would quit the biggest rock band performing right now?

[@WestCoastStruttin99]

I believe him. He seems super laid back, touring extensively not his lifestyle, kinda like Izzy stradlin back in the day

[@bikerhomeboy]

@@WestCoastStruttin99 kind of dumb. You get to tour the world. Who can say they toured with a rock band across the globe?

[@WestCoastStruttin99]

@@bikerhomeboy he said he's a homebody. It's just not for him

Have you ever been on a long tour? It’s NOT for everyone. I love playing on stage, but getting from point A to point B is draining. Not to mention maybe getting a hotel room ( if you’re lucky). I did a lot touring in the late 70’s early 80’s. It’s not for everyone. Even Eddie Van Halen hated touring, but he did it cos he loves playing live.

[@GaryRinaldi]

Touring is not all sunshine and rainbows. Even famous drummers like John Bonham and Neil Peart were known to hate being on the road after a while.

[@colleenmiller242]

Good info!

[@bryanwilliams3417]

Isn’t it ironic that the original drummer never “sticks” around.

[@timothyehook4883]

Cool..👍..these dudes are key, ..yakno...lol. Its a rough gig... Song writing is key....

[@R0BL68]

So the concept of “extensive touring” never occurred to him when joining and committing to a rock and roll band ? 🤨 I’m sure the other guys were like “what did you THINK we were going to be doing?” To each their own…but it’s still a dick move.

[@ronayers5133]

corey is great, Jaydon is super solid as well.....

[@toonsthatrock]

Rock one for Grandma!

[@Junk-O-Mology182]

Sure..walk away from a good gig to teach drum lessons...dirty honey is ok..but if you think youll find better....it doesnt happen anymore

[@WestCoastStruttin99]

Yeah he will be fighting with this decision for years to come most likely, some days being happy he made this decision, some does getting down about it. New Dirty Honey LP fuckin rocks!

Lame. Thousands of people wish they had your problem. Wish you well though.
