Practice like fuck. Make sure you think you're the shit, then go to a show full of talented musicians to reinforce the fact that you're not, then keep practicing. That's just how I do it with all instruments. I definately practice a lot, but I haven't mastered the art of thinking I'm the shit. |

I don't mean literally thinking you're the shit. Just that getting some confidence, then getting it taken away makes you practice harder.

Just learn other people's material. A LOT. Then practice it until it's perfect. Not okay, or really close. PERFECT. That's how you get good. Nobody got by with shitty half ass fills and lame beatz.

If you don't have a good drummer, you suck. They're definitely the backbone of the band.

I like Cody's advice. The more you play with ppl the more it clicks.

don't think "practice" it will stress the shit out of you. just saddle up to your kit and don't think about anything, and the music will play itself. doesn't matter what it sounds like, eventually you'll stumble across some beat and you'll hammer it to death, wich will lead to another beat ...

Another thing. Play with a metronome. Do blast exercises, study polyrythms, call either Wade or Matt and you'll be set for the shit you want to play.
By the way, why aren't you playing music with Gavin from DRAH? You both like that Admiral Angry sludge shit.

I figured he's busy with DRAH, or whatevs. I'm not worried about finding a band anymore, I'm just working on my skills and if something comes along it does. If not, I'm still gonna be drumming away. haha. |
