Ray Hearne is one of the top drummers in progressive metal, playing with Haken. I spoke to Ray about touring relentlessly, freelance work, climbing, being vegan on and off the road, impact of touring on relationships, relating to band members like being in a marriage, teaching on tour, hot sauce, meal timing on tour, teaching philosophy, pre-show warm-up routine, playing tuba, approach to writing drums, passive income from tab books, putting up the successful image facade, and more!
