Ep.1 - Gerhard 'Hardy' Kühne

A chat I had with designer, photographer, podcaster and drummer – Gerhard ‘Hardy’ Kuhne.

Over his career he’s worked with some of the biggest names in the music and drumming industries such as Benny Greb, Jost Nickel and Meinl – just to name a few.

We talk about some of his specific projects, as well as advice for working in the music industry, asking for help, and reaching out to others to build relationships.
