Metal drum phenom Jason Bittner has WAY too many stories for just one episode for All Access Live with Kevin Rankin, so he’s back for round 2! We’ll discuss his amazing new group Category 7, Shadows Fall, Anthrax, Overkill, Flotsam & Jetsam and his guilty pleasure – 80s new wave music!
Jason Bittner is the drummer for Shadows Fall and Category7. He first came to prominence as a member of the Massachusetts metal band Shadows Fall, with whom he recorded and toured with from 2001 -2014 (band re-active again in 2021). He was the most recent drummer for OVERKILL from 2017 to August 2024.
The infectious grooves and million-dollar smile of drummer Dave Kendall has graced more stages in the Pacific Northwest than almost anyone.
Dave’ll bring that smile and brilliant conversation to All Access Live to discuss the earliest metal days and his beloved band “Gargoyle”, to today’s contemporary country group “Night Rose”.

When you see Kyle Baltus play drums, the first thing that’ll cross your mind is “HOW can that kid play that hard for that long?” He’s sought after for his feel, intuition and powerhouse drumming.
I believe that some people are put on this planet to play music – it’s their life’s calling. I know this to be true about Kyle. He’s got all of the ingredients of the perfect bandmate: he’s a talented drummer, has the showmanship part nailed, and is an easy hang (which is SO important!).
We’ll talk about his international touring, recording, music video production and the experiences he’s had along the way. Kyle’s got some great stories, and we’ll get the inside scoop on ’em backstage on All Access Live.
