Drummers on Drumming

The Drum Panel: We all chose Grandma as our least favorite

Listen Later

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum.

Happy New Year. This week’s Drum Panel features me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside George Martinez (aka @skinnygeorge) and Eric Urrea from Marina City.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • Burnout as a signal, not a failure, and how to tell when you actually need to step back
  • The success trap of linking worth to being busy, and how scarcity thinking keeps you stuck
  • Dependability, kindness, and the invisible parts of your reputation that shape your career
  • Grace under pressure, and what tech failures and bad shows reveal about who you are on stage
  • Confidence without arrogance, and how to take your craft seriously without taking yourself too seriously
