Get yourself set up with an e-kit if an acoustic kit isn't practical for practice - I only practice on my e-kit at home now and it's been a game changer
@@JayTesseracT I can totally believe that. I took some 1-to-1 drum lessons, and we did the lessons on an e-kit. It feels really practical. I didn't consider getting one, though, since I tend to move places often. I'm a software engineer by trade, where it's common to change roles almost every 2 years or so. But still, can't say I'm not reconsidering an e-kit now :)
@@basione I literally didn't consider an e-kit for my entire career until a few years ago, I was tracking a bunch of MIDI for Toontrack at a studio in the UK and they had a nice Roland kit for me to work on. It completely transformed my opinion. I also never thought I'd be able to teach drums on one - I'd convinced myself for YEARS that I needed to have an acoustic kit, and a fancy studio, and all that... I teach, practice and write exclusively on my Roland TD50kv now and love it. Yes - there's a small adjustment to make when sitting behind an acoustic kit again - but you get used to that adjustment quickly. I practice 1000x more on this Roland kit than I ever did an acoustic kit - because it's practical.
@@basione In fact - if you have a few minutes to spare, I wrote a blog about this very thing here: jaypostones-drumlessons.com/2023/05/08/how-to-stop-negative-self-talk/
loving your masterclass ... one of the best
Holy! I was literally listening to Luminary before clicking on this video. I LOVE your playing man. Wish I had access to a drum kit now :)
