S2 E56 - Nate Morton

Drum Channel Podcast

Hello Drum Channel family! I’m Billy Amendola, and my guest today is best known as a TV star.

Nate Morton has been a drummer in house bands on television for most of his twenty five plus year career.

Nate and I go back almost as long. We first met when he was filming Rockstar: Supernova in 2006. That’s also when he first met drum tech and snare builder, Steve Morrison when Steevo was Tommy Lee’s tech on the show. The relationship led them to eventually work together on the popular TV show The Voice, where Nate is getting ready for its upcoming season. (Steevo is back on tour with Tommy & Motley Crue). The Voice debuted in America in 2011 and is one of the most popular shows on NBC TV.

There have been a few more TV shows; “Rockstar INXS” and The Bonnie Hunt talk show. Morton also worked in the studio recording and touring with Paul Stanley and a residency in Vegas with Cher. He also found the time to record his first solo record Playground Philosophy with his band at the time Dootybug, over twenty years ago.

Let’s check in with my long-time buddy Nate Morton.
