  • 50 - When are you TOO OLD to drum?

    TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR

    'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.' Chinese proverb  

    When are you too old to drum? NEVER! Drumming blesses us with vibrant health, elevated energy, joyful passion, and a confident creativity. Why would these be hoarded only to the young? As soon as you pick up the sticks at any age, you get these benefits and more.  

    It's easy to get discouraged seeing all the amazing young drummers out there. But even the best in the world doubt themselves. There's always someone faster, quicker, and smarter out there, but no one can be YOU. What we say in the LTR DRUMMING METHOD, is: 'Don't find yourself, CREATE yourself.' Smash the rules of what you think you're supposed to be, or what others expect of you. Master chef Anthony Bourdain didn't even start Jiu Jitsu until he was almost 60, and fell in love with it, even achieving his black belt. What if he had convinced himself that he was only a senior citizen that doesn't do such crazy things? We talk ourselves out of our dreams for fear of falling flat on our faces and looking ridiculous. But the pain of REGRET is far worse. When you explore the voice that speaks inside you, only two things can happen: you will grow, and you will learn. You may fail, but you'll avoid living with the regret of never knowing. Regret is the ultimate pain.   

    'How you move is how you groove!'  

    Since drumming is movement based like martial arts, so if you know how to move EFFORTLESSLY, you don't get injuries and you can play for years to come and keep improving. But so many drummers (including me when I started) skip the first steps, jumping right to the drumming while ignoring the foundation. I get it, we all want to play! But knowing how to float around the drums with an effortless mastery, means you'll actually get BETTER as you get older. Now you're tapping into the fountain of youth, drumming until you're 100 years young and beyond!   

    'You don't choose the drums, the drums choose you.'  

    If the voice of drumming lives in you, express it loud and proud! CONFIDENCE is what we build here, and we only invite it when we step out of our comfort zones and into our best selves through drumming that's waiting to be born. Don't wait another day to delay your dreams! One thing I've learned from all the elder 'Yoda' greats of drumming I've been blessed to learn from, is that they all tapped into the drumming fountain of youth by being childlike, and having FUN with a spirit of play and freedom!

  • 45 - How to be an ERGO-DRUMMER with Candiria's Ken Schalk

    Here we go with one of my favourite drummers, Ken Schalk! Here we get into how movement creates your sound, Bruce Lee, golf, and so much more.

    Ken’s main point of public recognition was CANDIRIA, a Brooklyn, NY quintet that covered a wide range of musical styles over a 14 year career. Perceived as a progressive, urban fusion wrapped in heavy metal, CANDIRIA’s sound provided Ken an environment that most musicians dream of; to challenge his talent on every level. In 2009, Ken said yes to the drum seat for Platinum selling rock band FUEL, touring for almost 4 years and writing & recording the drums for FUEL’s 2014 release, “Puppet Strings”.

  • 44 - Drumming with EFFORTLESS MASTERY with Kenny Werner

    TRANSFORM through DRUMMING: chrislesso.net/LTR

    Playing music should be as simple and natural as drawing a breath, yet most musicians are hindered by self-consciousness, apprehension, self-doubt, and stress. Before we can truly express our inner self, we must first learn to be at peace and overcome the distractions that can make performance difficult. Kenny's remarkable work deals directly with these hindrances, and presents ways to let our natural creative powers flow freely with minimal stress and effort. Includes inspiring recordings of meditations designed to initiate positive thought. Kenny's book 'Effortless Mastery' has become a favourite of many musicians who credit it with changing their lives! Many are so impressed that they buy copies for their musician friends as gifts.


    "Effortless Mastery is a book that the world really needs. Kenny Werner, is one of my favourite pianists I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and in my opinion one of the best pianists living on the planet. Kenny teaches that 'The joy of practicing is concentration. The joy of playing is liberation.' Effortless Mastery teaches the seeker how to achieve both at the highest levels. It also shows how to practice effectively, promoting real growth and how to play and perform free from fear and self-judgment. I highly recommend this book." Quincy Jones
