This Tourganic Short features highlights from my conversation with Joe Tomino (Episode #1)

Besides being an amazing and accomplished drummer Joe Tomino is yoga instructor, vegan food chef and totally inspiring individual. Throughout Joe's career as a drummer he has toured and recorded with many greats including: Matisyahu, The Fugees, Mike Patton, Lauryn Hill and his group Dub Trio.

In this conversation:

Joe’s path and why/how he went 100% plantbased and how that decision has affected his overall wellbeing and ability to thrive on the road.

Joe’s Yoga practice and the transition from student to teacher and some of the parrellels with being a life long student and teacher of music.

Joe’s biking on tour and how the bike has become a crucial element of how he rolls

Some of Joe’s concepts behind vegan cooking, nutrition, show preparation and some of his major influences along the way

I hope you dig this episode as much as I did. Joe Tomino is someone who can offer much of wisdom and inspiration and it was an honor to have this conversation with him for the Tourganic Podcast.

Introduction to Torganic Shorts

00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to the Torganic Pie. I am your host, David Bayless. This is Torganic Shorts, where I take a few select moments and quotes from this week's episode to give listeners a taste of the vibe.

Introducing Joe Tamino

00:00:13
Speaker
My guest on this first episode is Joe Tamino, the great drummer, yogi, triathlete, and plant-based vegan chef. Joe has toured the world for many years, playing drums with his band, Dub Trio, and touring alongside reggae singer, Madis Yahoo, as well as many other great artists.

Joe's Vegan and Yoga Journey

00:00:28
Speaker
In this episode we get into Joe's path into veganism and yoga, and the hows and whys of these crucial life decisions, how Joe manages to maintain this super healthy lifestyle on the road, and how that lifestyle has affected his drumming, overall musicality, and ability to stay fulfilled on tour. First of all, you don't need to harm another life to support your own. That was a big thing for me, just to realize that.
00:00:59
Speaker
Going back to the yoga, that was a big thing for me. Not just in terms of, you know, the community to be a vegan and plant-based, but in terms of less clutter. In terms of how I saw everything. How I saw food. How I saw my posture sitting on the drums. How I breathed in situations. I mean, it just influenced, infiltrated everything.

Benefits of Biking on Tour

00:01:28
Speaker
I'm gonna buy a bike. Everyone's buying bikes. All of a sudden the trail is full of bikes. It's just such a beautiful thing to have on tour to get around.
00:01:36
Speaker
Not only did I like the fact that I can get around, but it was just good to explore. Explore, let's say, I don't know, Dallas. Like, you're going to play the House of Blues in Dallas. You're going to be downtown. You know, you've probably been there however many times it's like, and you're on a bus or you're in a van and like, you're at the mercy of basically a cab or your feet. Right.
00:02:02
Speaker
you can't really do too much exploring. So the bike permitted me this new way, this new method of exploring and getting out, not only away from the downtown area or wherever, I happen to be, whatever venue, but just
00:02:19
Speaker
Then all of a sudden I was in nature, and all of a sudden I was in trees, and I was in parks, and I was on, you know, paved bike routes. I started like learning to navigate on a bike, and that opened up a whole new game for me. All of a sudden that was like meditation for me. It was not only a piece of mind just being on the bike, a piece of mind on tour, getting away from
00:02:46
Speaker
the rigmarole of tour life. Not that I wanted to be away from my friends, but just another way of looking at it, like day to day.

Biking as Meditation

00:02:57
Speaker
I could all of a sudden
00:02:59
Speaker
escape and not that I needed to escape but I could explore not escape and I'll wake up I'd pull the bike out drop the trailer pull it out myself so no one had to deal with it it's my doing pull out the bike walk up the trailer first thing in the morning boom I'm out like before loading before anybody's commitment to anything
00:03:21
Speaker
start the day off right. Meditation, exercise, on the bike, explore, fresh air, just a change of scenery. Taking the city, taking the vibe, start my day off right. Getting exercise,
00:03:39
Speaker
I'm seeing new stuff. I can go wherever I want. I can go to the museum. I can go to whatever I want to see. A friend's house. I got a bike. I'm 10 miles away. No problem. I'll be there in the mornings to come. Or whatever. And so, I just fell in love with the bike.
