Drummers I Like Podcast

What is up Drumtrepreneurs!!!

Today we are honored to have with us the most special of special guests!

Dom Fomularo!

Dom is a world renown artist and percussionist who has spanned the globe educating the masses on everything from the fundamentals of playing to the process of getting yourself out of a mental funk! I should also mention that he is absolutely one of the greatest minds I have ever spoken to and this episode was something of a journey as Dom’s story and view on life struck multiple chords with me.

It’s not very often that I don’t connect with someone with as much time and experience on this Earth as Dom, but this time was different. It felt more like therapy session in the end as I was left with a lot of self-reflection and internal thoughts that have since not left the vessel that is my brain. Dom is next level and he serves as a pure reminder to all drummers that we have a lot of time on this earth and how you spend it truly matters, how you treat others truly matters, and how you guide others REALY matters more than anything.

It really took me a long time to get the ball rolling on releasing this episode and although its been close too two months since we produced this show I could still feel the vibe... Especially during my listen back to it all.. For many of you that have been listening for the past 3 years it must have been odd for me to just drop everything after so many months of pushing things like the battle plan, webinars on self-productivity, and of course the amazing lessons on drums and business both Scott and I were putting out every week.

All I can tell you is that I hit a wall and the only way for me to have mustered up the energy and efforts to keep going forward ( after sinking thousands into this project ) was to take a long hiatus. To many of you, this might seem somewhat hypocritical as I tend to be someone who shouts obscenities at anything resembling “giving up” lol but I can tell you that it has allowed me to center myself, get a hang on what I really needed to do AND get my process better dialed in... There were weeks where I was spending so much time prepping shows and content that I left many of my own clients hanging and even more importantly I was leaving my family hanging.

But don’t worry... Now that we’re balanced. We’re back and we have a lot planned, prepped, and ready for release!

Until next week (and yes there will be a show next week )

Last week's Daily Motivation for Drummers with Richard

Last Friday's Podcast 

"When you miss a shot on the basketball court that ball is gonna hit the ground and start rolling no matter what... It's up to you to pick that ball up and make the next shot because if you don't someone will"

 Today we have the pleasure of chatting with the Pocket Queen herself Taylor Gordon! This show was an honor for us and absolutely a conversation that I will never forget as Taylor broke down her life story along with an onslaught of life-altering moments and obsessive habits that inevitably put her behind the likes of artists like Beyonce, Fifth Harmony, Stevie Wonder, Daya, and more! This conversation really meshed with the culture we are trying to create within the Drummers I Like Community as Taylor continually pointed out the moments of self-evaluation that would cause her to pivot her career motivations and decisions as she dove into both the percussion and production world looking for her niche and fit.

As I broke down the barriers of Taylor's world I think it was her clear-mindedness that stood out the most to me as making a decision that alters your life seemed to come naturally for her. This is not the case for most of us as we all tend to set our targets pretty low ready to take the first chance at success we can get. For Taylor, this just wasn't the case and absolutely not the outcome she had in mind for herself as she made bold moves like walking about from a high-level record production contract or turning down gigs that some of us would dream to get in the determination of getting to the level she considered "successful". Taylors humble approach to this whole thing was probably the absolute most inspiring part of our conversation as she continually pointed out (non chalantly) how much she gives back to her community by keeping them involved, staying in touch, and offering opportunities to grasp the genius that is her mind via her Patreon page and free IG feed!

Key Points: 

* Taylor tells the tale of her earlier years breaking down some of the key moments in her life that led up to where she is today.

* After a swift move to Los Angeles, Taylor breaks down the in's and out's of building her career along with some of the big decisions she had to make for both her pocket and her passions.

* Taylor breaks down her drumkit, her favorite gear, the tech behind her amazing social media stream, and some of the cooler moments pertaining to some of the great artists she has toured/played with.

In Closing:

It's these type of people that inspire me to do what I do with Drummers I Like as the motivation that comes from hearing a story like Taylors will stick by my side for the rest of my life and find it's way into the type of content I continue to put together moving forward. Taylor goes above and beyond, does what others aren't willing to do, and always goes the extra mile with her actions and that's what makes her unique and absolutely what put's her at the top of her game and industry and the official Pocket Queen of Social Media...

Today's big question:

What kind of habits do you have in place in regards to your ow...

Today we have the pleasure of chatting with the legend himself Bruce Becker. If you know drum’s then you know Bruce Becker... An educational Guru that has been teaching for over 40 years with a client base of some of the most renown players of all time... One of most incredible aspects to Bruce’s Story is the many years he spent working closely with Freddie Gruber... Freddie is a pillar in the community of drummers spanning a career that measures up to the likes of Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa.

Bruce offered a special message to our listeners today and it was one that has traveled with me throughout the past week... As someone who pushes the idea of strategic planners and heavily laid out schedules it was nice to know that Bruce made plenty of time for going with the flow and letting the wave carry you at times... That’s a big deal for us over here Drummers I Like as we continually seek out the best approach to production and habit forming.

Today we have the pleasure of chatting with Ryan Claxton hailing from the beautiful land of Canada! Ryan is a 26-year-old up and comer with an extraordinary ability behind the drum kit backed by an intellect that makes for one great conversation. Coming up under the study and guidance of his father, Gord Claxton, Ryan displays a fine understanding of the correct structure one needs in order to stay the path of becoming a successful and full-time drummer. During our conversation, Ryan brings up a number a great points as to why continuing to seek guidance is essential for any drummer looking to progress his skills for the years to come as his drive to learn consistently inspired me.

This weeks habit: Family

This week is all about the family and quite frankly one habit I enjoy more than any other in terms of immediate happiness. On this episode, I'm diving into the third part of your weekly planner and talking everything family. For me, My Wife and Son are my everything but making sure I keep in touch with family members like mom, dad, sis, uncles, aunts, and cousins is a big part of the Harmony you must keep within your most inner of circles. For most of you who may not be parents, I ask that you strive to develop stronger, deeper, more mature bonds with the closest family members and the ones that have spent the most time around you as they likely will help you the most.

My current Family Habits:

* Free play with my Son every day.

* Read to my Son every day.

* Play drums with my Son every day.

* Plan a date night with my Wife.

* Call closest family members (Mom, Dad, Sister) once a week.
