- NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN joins me on The ProgCastt! From the moment I heard him on Mahavishnu's "Apocalypse," Narada became one of my biggest inspirations as a drummer - and later as a producer, and composer. Such an honor and an inspiration to speak with Narada about his musical life and to feel his incredible energy shattering The Wall of Zoom.

my hero too....
Hell yeah, Andy. Narada is a straight-up superhero!
Narada's soul is so beautiful.
He does have that and so much much music pouring from him!
Narada is an incredible spirit and brilliant artist.
I could not agree more!
Narada brings the sunshine! Great interview, with an absolute legend. Cheers.
He sure does! Loved every minute!
My favorite drummer of all time. Criminally underrated, probably because his turn to R&B and production. As a drummer though, he's as mean and imaginative as it gets
He is not underrated over here, I can tell you! :)
Great interview, very informative. Thanks very much for doing this.
Thanks Nick! So glad you enjoyed it.
Cosmic Strut is one of the best things ive ever heard
Love Narada as a drummer for sure. The part that makes him even more unbelievable to me is his ability as a producer and composer (Love Is Green, Cosmic Strut, Sophie, etc - are you kidding me?) but most of all his total positivity in the music and life. That's the magic that permeates everything he does...
Yes, a top notch provider of inspired melody chord and rhythm! Narada is magical.
This guy… so much passion and grace
