On Today's Drum lesson from Scott we talk about playing drums in your apartment, the do's and dont's of being a good neighbor, and how Scott makes drum lessons happen in his 1 bedroom apartment.

Breaking Down Fences:

* Introduce yourself: Scott talks about being a drummer living in an apartment and how you can go about befriending them to help them understand why you want to pound on drums. Let them know it is your way of life, and they will be more understanding.

* Be presentable: Make sure you're wearing nice clothes. Don't introduce yourself wearing what you would to them gym. Dress up! Sundays Best people. At least wear jeans and a nice shirt. But if you suit up, that is even better. People will judge you based off what you are wearing. So Dress UP!

* Be Grateful: Make sure you let your neighbor know that you sincerely appreciate them ALLOWING you to play drums. Thank them for their time, patience, and understanding. Leave a card on their door with a small gift or something.

Today's guest is 18-year session drummer and highly in demand Boston based studio drummer Jonathan Ulman. Johnathan is the definition of discipline and hard work recently being nominated for "Best new drummer for 2016" by Rhythm Magazine. Today's show digs deep into Johnathan's narrative as we listen to the man himself tell his own account of it all.

Johnathan is endorsed by Zildjian, Ludwig, Vic Firth, Evans, drumtacs, West tone, Big fat snare drum

About our guest:

Jonathan Ulman is an internationally recognized Session Drummer and Percussionist from Boston, MA. He has been nominated for “Best New Drummer 2016′ By Rhythm Magazine and named “2016 Session Musician of the Year” by The Boston Music Awards. Jonathan has been recording and touring with artists around the world for more than 18 years and is considered the area' most in demand drummer.

Key points from today's podcast:

Playing the game: After his parents nagged a snare, kick, and cymbal from a neighbor they would soon find out that Jonathan would do what ever would take to get a jam session in. First sessions included his dad putting his cymbals on his dowel while his brother positioned it upright next to him mimicking a high-hat and snare setup. He would soon be fitted with a sexy ludwig kit when his parents saw how serious he was.

Keeping up with the Joneses: Jonathan gives us an in-depth breakdown to how he ticks in matters of keeping the session work in, the practice time flowing, the gigs consistent, and the family first. This is important stuff as Jonathan fits an insane of amount of productive work into his day.

Let's talk drum gear: Kevin gets the conversation soaring as we get deep into Jonathans setup in the studio, on tour, and at home.

In closing:

We truly had a blast chatting with Johnathan and we are feeling extremely inspired. How about you? Do you aspire to be a session drummer? Leave a comment for Johnathan below!

Welcome back fellow Drummers and players of the drum set! Today's guest is Drum Guru, Mentor, Coach, and Business Owner, David Puckett I am extremely excited about the subject matter of today's show because it covers everything from being an entrepreneur, running a full-time music coaching business, and managing a team to mastering the drums, respecting the discipline of practice, and learning to focus on patience.

David is endorsed by Tama, Remo, Vater, Meinl, and Vratim.

About our guest:

David is the founder and owner of Music Mentors Online as well as the full-time drummer for the band We Came As Romans. His past acts include The Crimson Armada and For Today. David has been playing drums for over 20 years with over half that time playing in the professional realm of it hitting the road in his teens progressing as a monster player growing a giant amount of respect from his associates and fellow bandmates. Davids company Music Mentors Online is a staple of his efforts to guide and grow his students in ways that surpass the typical student/teacher relationship. This has allowed him to find a way to apply it to all his endeavors including playing drums. David is an incredible drum set player that displays a fine balance of showmanship, cut throat precision, and tasteful phrasing.

Key points from today's podcast:

The Hybrid Theory years: After getting his first drum set at the age of 7, David breaks down his earlier years which include his buddies smuggling Linkin Parks Hybrid Theory and Sum 41's All Killer No Filler Albums into his house. These albums would play a crucial role in his influence behind the drums and eventually guide him to a world of metal madness.

The For Today Sessions: As David grew to find his musical self he would eventually find himself transition from black metal to post hardcore with the founding of his first big band The Crimson Armada. This band would go on to take him deep into the musical world where he created his biggest relationships and developed the early stages of his hard working, go-getting reputation. David eventually left TCA and took a few years off to focus on personal development. It was a phone call from an old friend named Matty that would lead to him becoming the permanent drummer for the Hardcore power house For Today.

It's time to teach the masses: After an insane 4 years of successful touring and record making his band For Today decided it was time to take a permanent sabbatical leaving behind what one would call a formidable legacy. David took the down time as a way to work even harder to build Music Mentors Online into the successful business it has grown to be as it focuses to provide its students with the most interactive learning experience it can.

In closing:

David is truly a one of kind professional that has mastered the ability to navigate a multitude of extremely difficult waters continually grasping nothing but success. This is extremely inspiring for any drummer or business owner looking for a good perspective on what one can accomplish with a fine tuning of time, strategy, and drive. This show really helped me get through a busy and obstacle filled week so I hope you have taken notes and thought of how you can apply these principals to your drum set playing, practice and focus.

But wait...there's more!
