If you are a beginner drummer in need of some “AHA” moments today, I feel ya! It’s easy to feel in the dark, not knowing what you don’t know, and not yet having any pivotal moments to confirm that you’re doing something right.
As you learn my 8 biggest “aha” moments from my last 18 years of playing, you’ll notice an interesting trend that I hope is encouraging to you.
We’ll also break down the truth about “aha” moments, as you learn some “mile marker”-type expectations to have for your playing & your growth in the coming years.
My hope is that you’ll be able to take a bunch of these tips & lessons and run with them, making progress even TODAY - so that you’re already ahead of where I was early on. YOU CAN DO THIS.
I believe that YOU can become the drummer everyone wants in their band. Anyone can learn the drums, and you’re far more capable of mastering this instrument than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short!
