Your Best Self Through DRUMMING with Chris Lesso episodes
- 72 - When to FIRE your drum teacher: Barry's inspiring story
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
The great teachers, guides, and mentors have a proven system, focus on individuality, while making drumming FUN like it was meant to be.
This is when you'll discover your inner power, where concepts and systems become HABITS that grow stronger with each passing year.
But beware of the bad ones ...
They'll strip you of your confidence, while making you feel small for how little you know.
The mark of a true guide is that they EMPOWER. I've had some of my mentors since I was a teenager, but I'm not dependent on them. What they've taught me I now have for life, and it gets stronger every day.
Listen to my student Barry's heartwarming story where he took a stand to NOT listen to his first drum teacher that told him to quit. He rose up to find a better guide and a community that uplifted him.

8 min - 71 - Keep your DRUMMING strong through the BUSYNESS of life
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
‘This just isn’t the right time.’
I hear this so much, and I get it; ‘Life gets in the way’ of our drumming dreams. We all have legitimate fires to put out that drain us physically and emotionally. I’ve heard every good excuse NOT to drum, from 14 yr olds, to 40 yr olds, and to 70 yr olds and beyond. Life never lets up, and there is NEVER a good time to drum.
Now’s not the right time for you?
That’s exactly why you should start.
All your favourite drummers knew this one secret: They invested heavily in their training, accountability, and community.
Here’s the hard truth:
There’s never a right time. You MAKE it the right time.
We don’t go over, under, or around. THROUGH is the only way forward.

8 min - 70 - LTR DRUMMING METHOD breakdown prt 4, RHYTHM
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
We'll release your inner rhythm just waiting to be uncaged, drawing from sources globally so you can express in an instant any idea you dream.
With a rich world centric view to draw from, we sing and FEEL the grooves first, not getting stuck in old school counting from books that get you nowhere fast. Traditional drumming lessons can give you blinders, hijacking your creativity by burying your inner voice. In my world travels as a seeker performing on stages and studying with greats around the world, I've uncovered ancient lessons we can use right now to unshackle our creativity and throw away the blinders.
Trying to drum without having these four steps down solid is to play on shaky ground. A house divided cannot stand. To step into our potential and do it in record time, we need a trusted SYSTEM to live the vision. When all four elements work in harmony, you learn 10X faster.

9 min - 69 - LTR DRUMMING METHOD breakdown, part 3: PRACTICE
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
Here, we dial in our daily practice to run the routines that grow our best selves through drumming.
Discipline, energy management, and high performance habits get you to your drumming dreams faster.
This is the art of learning, stacking daily 1% wins that compound over time to reveal your greatness. It's doing the work to release old roles that no longer serve you, and rewire new habits that rev up your engine to play and create.
Trying to drum without having these four steps down solid is to play on shaky ground. A house divided cannot stand. To step into our potential and do it in record time, we need a trusted SYSTEM to live the vision. When all four elements work in harmony, you learn 10X faster.
Next, we'll look at rhythm from a completely different perspective, marrying the ancient history of drumming with cutting edge futurism.

11 min - 68 - LTR DRUMMING METHOD breakdown, part 2: FLOW
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
Flow sets you up to play for the next century and beyond.
Removing restricting tension from our mind and body, drumming becomes fun again like it should be. Floating around the kit with effortless mastery, you express any idea you have with ease. The tide of your body's natural energy flows into your drums with relaxed intensity. Flow is also to enter THE ZONE, that revered space when our minds slow down to speed up and our inner critic finally goes offline. If you’ve ever played when an hour passed in a minute, you’ve been in flow!
Trying to drum without having these four steps down solid is to play on shaky ground. A house divided cannot stand. To step into our potential and do it in record time, we need a trusted SYSTEM to live the vision. When all four elements work in harmony, you learn 10X faster.

13 min - 67 - LTR DRUMMING METHOD breakdown, part 1: ETHOS
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
What's the mighty WHY that fuels you, that fire in your belly driving you forward?
Can you see that vision of yourself living out your goals with rockstar confidence?
Your dream may be to have a daily jam in your basement, or rock out for thousands on lit stages around the world. This is YOUR journey, but can you see it clearly? In the LTR DRUMMING METHOD, we call this starting point your ethos. It's what sets you apart from the masses, when your special voice is finally expressed. If you don't believe in you, then who will?
Trying to drum without having these four steps down solid is to play on shaky ground. A house divided cannot stand. To step into our potential and do it in record time, we need a trusted SYSTEM to live the vision. When all four elements work in harmony, you learn 10X faster.
Next we'll get you flowing around the kit ... see you then!

9 min - 66 - My 'Life Through Rhythm' LTR DRUMMING philosophy (*4 steps you need to know)
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
This was the system I wanted to learn from! But it didn't exist so I had to create it, along with other like minded drummers around the world. It empowers us to:
-Overcome our inner critics with unbeatable confidence-Delete the unessential to combat confusion-Help us flow around the kit with effortless masteryBut you can't skip steps. There can be no missing pieces. With a holistic system, each part affects the whole.When your breathing improves, your fills start to come together. With an ergonomic setup dialled in, all of a sudden your double bass chops start to flow. Every area compliments the rest, and it all starts to click. This is the path of 'Life Through Rhythm'.Looking back, I now know the source of so much frustration I went through. I'm so glad I didn't quit! But many do.This isn't just about me. No drummer does it alone! We all steal from those that resonate with us to create our inner vision. If you know these drummers:-Dom Famularo-Benny Greb-Jim Blackley-Jojo Mayer-Mike ManginiThese drummers aren't just about the notes, but about what's going on behind the notes, so everything flows into one undeniable voice: your true self expression. It's from these and many other drummers that I've traveled the world to study and perform with that the LTR DRUMMING philosophy was born.They've been teachers and mentors to me, along with the non-drummers (alive or dead, some I've never met!) like Victor Wooten, Bruce Lee, Picasso and Einstein, and many more that all mold the LTR DRUMMING philosophy.It all goes toward creating the same vision, to create our life through rhythm.Are you ready to TRANSFORM your life through DRUMMING?

15 min - 65 - Are you too BUSY to drum?
TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR
“At the end of the day, a legitimate excuse and a bad excuse serve the same purpose: to justify failure and minimize the amount of shame we feel for not figuring out a way to overcome the obstacles in our way.” Rick Ross
There will always be really good reasons to postpone your dreams and procrastinate. But it still equals the same thing: failure to act.
Life gives many great excuses not to go into the blue ocean unknown, to leave your comfort zone, no matter how painful that place is, because it’s safe. We call this the RESISTANCE. How do we beat it? We all have the same 24 hours in the day. How do drummers we love that inspire us do it?
By turning the obstacle into the way forward. To navigate the busyness like you would a storm, always ask: ‘What’s the opportunity here?’
In the LTR DRUMMING METHOD we say IAO: Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. When your vision of the inner hero you want to step into becomes a must, we find a way.
1) Ruthlessly delete the unessential (People, events, tasks)
2) Plan ahead (‘Stay ahead of the river’)
3) Look for the ‘1% win windows’ (Which becomes a habit)But we can’t do it alone.
With the training, accountability, and community behind you, you can’t lose. Apply to join the LTR DRUMMING WORLDWIDE collective of drummers that are as crazy as you are to turn the dreams you imagine, into a reality you live.
