This episode comes to you from my drive to a gig. Just random thoughts that hopefully will trigger an idea or an inspiration in you:-)

On this episode of the DrumMantra Podcast, I speak with the amazing drummer, Adam Gust. Adam had a traumatic accident a little over a decade ago that potentially could have ended his very promising career.

In this conversation, we talk about the studies and research he began to do at the Polyvagal Institute in Los Angeles.

Adam has gained expertise in Polyvagal research enough to have been asked to do a TEDx talk on the topic and how he is relating it to drumming.

I hope you enjoy and if you have any further questions for Adam, he can be reached at: https://www.adamgust.com/

I was recently asked to speak at a career day for a high school in St.Louis. The students had great questions and triggered some responses that I think may be helpful for anyone who wants to have, or does have a career in the music industry. The DrumMantra books are available on Amazon & Hudson Digital. If you would like to join the DrumManta Lesson Vault Community, you can visit DrumMantra.com

In this episode we eavesdrop into a Foundational Series Practice Session. You will be able to get a feel for how the class runs, the pacing, and even the hang.

The Foundational Series is absolutely the material that will give you the strong foundation that you need to progress through polymetric coordination, rhythmic phrasing, and most importantly - concentration and relaxation. I hope to see you at a session soon!

We also discuss a little about the upcoming masterclass with the great Ed Soph! You don't want to miss this opportunity to hang, listen to, and learn from one of the absolute FINEST educators in the world.

I hope to see you soon!

-Rich
