Fun little video taking you inside the mind of a drummer. Have you got what it takes?

I’ve just started reading Molly Gebrian’s book Learn Faster, Perform Better. Her YouTube series, What Musicians Can Learn About Practicing from Current Brain Research, is a great introduction to the ideas in the book. It’s packed with insights on how to practise and learn more effectively.

I’m thoroughly enjoying Ian Leslie’s book John & Paul. Love the detail about the recording of Twist & Shout. How did I never notice John Lennon had a heavy cold?

I now have a couple of after school drum lesson slots available on Thursdays at South Street Studios in Ipswich. If you’re interested in drum lessons, contact me to book a lesson or learn more about my drum lessons here.

Can’t remember how I stumbled on this, but wow. The footage looks and sounds incredible, and they all look like they’re having an amazing time. SO much energy. Can’t wait to watch the full concert film. Gutted I missed it in IMAX last year!

I came across this track whilst flipping through the RSL Grade 8 drum book, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. So much groove. Yussef Dayes is one hell of a drummer!
