Drumming stuff...

Drumming stuff

1. Reinstall the double bass pedals
2. Bass drum foot needs some attention
3. Setup with the big drum set for recording
4. Experiment with the mics for a better sound
5. Rudiments with metronome is the thing
6. Playing tunes I’ve transcribed is effective learning
7. To paraphrase Buddy Rich, “you gotta play with others if you want to get better”
8. Drummers have a culture of brotherhood, pianists not so much
9. It takes a lot of confidence to be yourself on the drumkit
10. The path to drumming self-actualizing is focused practice, regular lessons, jamming with as many folks as will play with you, self recording, working on time feel, hand and foot fundamentals, personal reflection and patience.

Best,
