This episode is about how I put myself in challenging situations to force myself to learn new skills, or up my existing skills in the quickest, and most high-risk situations. Always terrifying at the time, with a huge sense of relief and achievement by the end of it!

This week's video covers a very sensitive subject of how I deal with feelings of depression I've had throughout my life, as I know that a lot of musicians also suffer with similar things. I'm no medical professional (obviously!) but I just thought I'd share what I do to help myself, and if you find yourself struggling too, hopefully, one of these will speak to you too.

Please feel free to add your coping mechanisms in the comments below, as I'd love to hear about them.

This week I share one of the most heartbreaking (potentially career-ending) moments of my drumming life! I speak about how I chose to not only come back from it, but face my demons head-on, and I'm convinced it was the making of me, even though the path was long, treacherous, and painful!

Share with me your experiences of failing and getting back up to soldier on!
