This is a sensitive subject. I hope I've covered it well... We all get caught in this from time to time. I hope this podcast helps encourage you to NEVER give up!! Ever! But to walk your path in this word with dignity and self respect.

Hey all, motivation is a sticky and pesky subject. Something as teachers we really have to try to understand well... As teaching is as much about helping people be inspired and motivated as it is teaching the actual material. I love this subject and have fought HARD for the information contained. I hope it helps you...

In this episode I go in to one of the most powerful elements you MUST pay attention to if you want to experience the breakthroughs in your drumming habits or any other lifestyle changes for that matter... Tune in and enjoy!

This session is all about breaking through goals FAST!! How do you master large chunks of vocabulary in limited time and with limited resources. I had a drum set for only one month of the preparation and had to make it work... Becuae this was a CRAZY important to me at the time... See how I did it in todays episode.

What can you say about Matt Garstka? He is definitely one of the most dedicated drummers to walk this Earth! Here are some of my biggest lessons and epiphanies from studying this great man's work as a player and teacher of this art form, and reflecting and applying these ideas in my own life and drumming.

In this episode I'll be going a little deeper in to limiting beliefs and how I have struggled with them, and tactics and approaches I have personally found and that others have found that worked to overcome this essential obstacle we are up against. It covers how for me art and leisure are really ways for us to purify our souls and face our deepest fears and doubts so we can actually outgrow them.

Yesterday I hit a wall... In a way I rarely experience... Here's how I got through it and continued on to do my longest day of practice ever, in order to get through the challenge... My first 10 hour day of drumming. Stick around, I know you'll get value out of this one.

Here I go in to Mix It and Music, and the role they play on memory and and in helping you become the drummer you truly want to be... And how people are often playing along to music far too little in their practise time... And why that needs to change if you want to avoid sound like s**t after hours of practise.

This is a pretty candid episode... I am going to talk about my deeper spiritual point of view on drumming and what I believe to be music's deeper role in society and how it can be transformative to us and those around us if we go a little deeper, and stop using music as a tool just to be better than others or just to be happy, but also to find a deeper part of ourselves that is pure and free of judgement.

I am still pinching myself... I can't believe I got to learn with THE Gary Chaffee. I hope this podcast helps you share in the experience... It's a sample of what I took from this experience as a drum teacher. Big thanks to thedrumsetcoach.com for making it possible.
