Awesome! Learning drums is a great way to really nail rhythms down. Some of my fav band members are the ones that have the knowledge to do some crazy rhythms 🤙
Another thing that I think is overlooked is how important it is to get comfortable with recording and watching yourself. If you can get a neutral perspective of yourself, instead of being stuck cringing, you'll have a HUGE boost to your ability to locate and adjust for problem areas. Post videos on youtube for a bonus side effect of getting used to feeling like you're playing in front of people.
Completely agree, I've been filming myself for years now and it's got me much more comfortable performing in front of a camera. I think it takes a little while to get used to and to get an 'authentic' performance where you forget about the camera, but once you do it's a fantastic practice tool. I mention it in one of my old videos I'm sure.
#4 My personality kept me safe from that one; I'm highly adverse to the generic, so I've always aimed to sound as "me" as I can, which really helped free me up from the "worrying if I'm as good as x other person" barrier. However, this is a double-edged sword; because of this exact trait, I've been making mistake #3 for 10 years now, knowing I'll be too "picky" to reasonably work with anybody. I found this video by stumbling across a forum post asking if there were any "drummer" versions of Adam Neely, and a person there mentioned Rob Brown, Stephen Taylor, and your channel; the low view count surprised me after seeing the quality of your videos.
Man I bet that is a real blessing! I really struggle with comparing myself to others and it can be really damaging. Focusing on what you're doing and crafting YOUR sound is much more important I think. Totally agree though it must also leave you more open to self-criticism as it's truly YOUR drumming that is being demonstrated. Perhaps there is a happy medium between these problems where you are healthily inspired by other drummers and also constructively criticise yourself in a non-destructive manner. I've yet to get to that point, but that's the dream haha! Man that's pretty wild that I've been thrown in with those big names! They truly are the big players on this site. I'd love to one day reach that many people like them and give my perspective on this wild instrument. One day!
