On this new episode of Defender of the Riff, Knotfest host Daniel Dekay talks to Derrick Schneider of American nu-metal revivalists Tallah.

Derrick is the newest guitar player to be an influence on my guitar playing. He’s an absolute beast of a player. I had the privilege to meet him at a Tallah show and he’s seriously such a cool and nice guy. Future Guitar God for sure! 🤘🏼

Sick Derrick! 🤘

[@anester1866]

with all the talent in that band. you'd think they'd be butting heads all the time. but they work so well together. guitarist who loves singing, drummer writing songs who plays bass, vocalist who's a pretty good guitar/bass player in his own right.

Derrick is such a rad player, and dude his cover channel is fantastic, he has a killer voice too.
