My friend Dan said something interesting today after we finished filming my Boot Camp for Drummers.I've been filming all day for Boom Click Boot Camp. I'm recording this Friday night. My family's downstairs watching the Olympics opening ceremony which is like blowing my mind. I feel like I'm that guy on Super Troopers, I'm freaking out man because it's crazy.Anyway, I've been having a great day. Like I said, we filmed all the pre-recorded stuff for Boom Click Boot Camp today and I just wanted to share with you guys. There's this crazy thing that happened ... well it's not crazy to me because I knew it was true, but it was fun because my buddy, Dan, who's shooting all of these videos for me was here with me today. After we got done, we were wrapping up, we did the whole thing and it was great. What was crazy was he was like,"Yes man, I think this is going to do really well." He's a musician too. He's not a drummer, but he's a musician so he kind of understood what we were doing. He's like, you know what's crazy is I think people are going to really like this stuff, but you know what's crazy is it's not really anything ground breaking. It's not anything earth shattering or anything new. I was like, you're exactly right.That's the thing is what's going in to this boot camp is not anything mind blowingly new or different or secret. It's some structured exercises that I've put together. There's some cool, fun things in there that I'll tell you about later, but really it's nothing new. That's the thing is that what's true or what's been true for hundreds of years about drumming or any kind of craft or art like music is still true today and that's that the secret to getting better is not a secret. You just keep doing it. You work at it. You don't waste your time doing things that aren't going to help you so you don't spend hours and hours and hours doing things that aren't really going to improve you at all. You can't sit there and play the same beat for hours and hours and get better at all kinds of drumming. You get better at that one thing. What you have to do is you have to be smart at what you work on.
