Bowing to the best within yourself means to STEP UP by living the standards that will elevate your rise. But how to do this consistently, especially on the days that you just don’t have the drive for it? Motivation is great, but it DOESN’T LAST. This is where a grade to continually level yourself up against is essential. We always measure what matters. To set the bar high for yourself, populate your life with mentors that demonstrate consistent excellence through actions. Mentors can be alive or dead, you may know them personally or not.  

One person that holds himself up to the highest of standards is retired Navy SEAL and author Jocko Willink. In this video blog I’ll share his run through of a tool he uses to measure himself towards, the USMC Fitness report used for Navy SEALS to grade where they’re at in all areas of leadership and character. This document is the ultimate PSS to hold yourself to.  

What is a PSS? It’s a pre (beforehand) set (decided upon) standard (level of excellence you hold yourself to). A pre set standard is a way of being we are going to rise up to, step up and live out through our actions. Having a PSS will fuel your actions. If it's your standard to exercise first thing when you wake up in the morning, then to make this happen you may sleep in your exercise clothes to immediately leap out of bed and start moving. If it’s a standard to cut down sugar, then you may purge it from all your cupboards beforehand so it’s not there to tempt you. If it’s a standard to get better sleep, you might clear all the technology out of your bedroom to cultivate more peace and silence. These are standards you decide on beforehand, and then unfold through your environment and actions. We establish this BEFORE going in, so in the moment there’s no indecision about what to do next or willpower needed to stay the path, but only action to stick to the standards we’ve already committed to. A PSS is something we can always go back to to guide our thoughts, words, and actions. To really live them and stand behind them, they must be an extension of who you are. You can’t live anyone else's if your heart's not in it. Below are the pre set standards that make up the LTR method, but take what works for you, and also add your own!

I am excited to share this with you! This is a conversation I had with Mike Mangini where he reveals his systems and tactics, pulled from the archives of 2002. In my years of being the eternal student of drumming and life, I've always strived to spend time with some of the best in the world and compress time by using the habits and strategies that work best for the greats into my own game, and now you can too. What makes this interview compelling, is that we have almost 20 years of hindsight to see how these systems and habits compound over time in Mike's drumming and life. This is a powerful concept! I am 100% interested not just in the best for today, but in the LONG GAME. Not many can live SUSTAINED GREATNESS, and Mike Mangini exemplifies this. Some of Mike's methods for developing his best self through drumming include:   

- Living the highest standards of EXCELLENCE. 

- Living with urgency and a mighty mission. This is THE WHY of what we do. 

- Studying outside disciplines BESIDES drumming, like business, time management, the human brain and body, and self discipline. 

- Giving the utmost attention to DETAILS. They matter! 

- Ultimate trust and belief in what sets you apart. Your personal DIFFERENTIATION. 

- OPEN HANDED drumming, using the 'all limbs equal' approach. 

- Living with NO LIMITS. 

- Surrounding yourself with MENTORS, and stealing from the best in the world. 

- Having FRONT SITE FOCUS in all we do.  Enjoy spending some time with Mike Mangini, and take the energy, artistry, and passion into your best self through drumming!

Neil inspired others to practice and push themselves, and gave us all permission to be OURSELVES. ‘We play who we are’, and living LTR is all about bridging the gap between striving for our human potential to find our best selves in drumming. Neil lived this every day. Life is fragile, and like the rest of the world I was so unexpectedly shaken by Neil’s passing. I have always been a fan of everything he strove to put out in the world, and I wanted to share with you the best LTR qualities we can learn from him to take into our own lives and become our best selves through drumming.

It’s easy to be your best in the beginning. You’re fired up, motivated, ready to go! But what do you do when you’re on that last mile, depleted and hurting? This is actually the MOST important time to give your best. The end of the race during the very last mile is when you will most feel like surrendering, cutting corners, and settling for less. When you have nothing left to give, this is exactly the time to give 100% and END STRONG. How you perform when it’s hardest is a true reflection of where you’re REALLY at. You’re also giving yourself signals of how badly you really want to achieve what you’re building. This is where most people give up! How you END is the most important step, because it always carries forward into your next BEGINNING.

‘Give the highest quality to your last actions.'

'We play who we are.'  

'Life through rhythm' is realizing our best selves through drumming. Your drumming will only rise as high as your inner world. This is LTR! We build our inner strengths to create the outer expression. Bruce Lee's approach and attitude was also LTR. Bruce understood that self expression from movement was the key. The drums are capturing your MOVEMENTS, turning it into a SOUND. And to get the right movement, being in the NOW is essential. The present moment is the seat of all things high performance.
