The History of Q Drum Co with Jeremy Berman and Max Cuzor - EP 181

Jeremy and Max discuss cutting their teeth with OCDP, the origins of Q Drum Co., and also Jeremy's recent heroic battle with stomach cancer that has brought his career as a successful drum tech to a halt while he recovers. The silver lining is that this has brought the drum community together to rally around Jeremy like never before to get him back on his feet. Jeremy Berman and Max Cuzor have built drum kits for some of the biggest drummers in the world, and Jeremy has been a tech with bands such as Slipknot, Muse, Norah Jones, Nine Inch Nails, Katy Perry and many more. This episode is a very special one and I hope everyone enjoys it!

[@Tyler_Silva]

This is amazing. Jeremy has always been amazing to me as a nobody drummer asking for a copper kit 10 years ago. What an incredible company and what incredible dudes! ❤

[@karltp]

Jeremy wasn't only my nephew, but he was a class act as well. A good-hearted person and will certainly be missed. Godspeed Jeremy.

It's great to see these guys. I'm sad to hear about Jeremy's passing I've only met him a handful of times and he was an upstanding guy. I had the pleasure of working with Max at OCDP during the mid 2000's. Working at that place was a dream job for me. Yeah the pay was low but being around other artists and seeing beautiful drum sets being created by hand was an experience. I'm glad to see that legacy being implemented at Q and Max still doing his thing. Wish you all the best.

[@DrumHistoryPodcast]

Thank you for watching. You are definitely lucky to have the OCDP experience

[@VicDrums83]

@@DrumHistoryPodcast I'm very grateful. I left a better drummer because of it, and a better appreciation for drum building. Max and company are truly masters of their craft.

[@SKragseth]

This was a great one Bart.. really heart warming! Sending love to Jeremy! Cheers guys.

Hang in there, Jeremy. Keep fighting.

[@marcobiccadrummer]

This was pure gold. Man, Jeremy is the best, hands down. I got an amazing kit early this year, it is the best kit I've ever played, he was so nice, knowledgeable, cool when I ordered it. When I heard about what happened I also cried. But I am 1000% positive he will be back building historic drums again soon. We all love you Jeremy. Keep fighting. Thanks for this episode ❤

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

These guys are fn legends man they shape a big part of modern drum history, I hope one day I can meet them and own a kit made by them man I can’t comprehend right now they’re amazing genuine people, keep fighting Jeremy! I’ve been following the brand and do a lot of research since Q started, anyway keep up the good work both in life and drums man! Sending my big love from Taiwan! Ps also thank you for doing these! These OCDP and Q trilogy is VERY informative! I can’t wait to hear more of the touring tech side stories and tricks from Jeremy! Y’all have my support! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
