From “War Dogs” to Drum Machines with David Packouz

From “War Dogs” to Drum Machines with David Packouz

Author: Bart Vanderzee October 31, 2023 Duration: 1:06:03
David Packouz was the subject of the 2016 film 'War Dogs' (starring Miles Teller and Jonah Hill), which chronicled his incredible experience as a contract gun runner for the US government during the Iraq War. In complete contrast to that, he has more recently created a top-of-the-line drum machine called the Beat Buddy, which captures the feel of a real drummer in a pedal. David shares the story of his wild experiences as a "war dog" and how he made the enormous leap to becoming the inventor of the Beat Buddy. This is a unique episode that differs from our usual topics, but we hope you enjoy it!
