The Dave Walsh Podcast - Drums In The Shed: Recent Episodes
Dave Walsh
Monthly musings about all things drums, and occsional other ramblings. I mostly ramble on about gigging, practising, and from time to time, I interview people. Also, there are lots of stories and some insights in to my philosophy towards not just music, but my approach to everyday situations. Thanks for listening. Please subscribe/follow me on your podcast platform.
.... erm preparation, apparently.
Hope you're well. I’m a little earlier with this month's episode.
A rambling episode about prepping for different situations, notably the studio, because I'm going to record this coming Sunday.
Peace.
D.
Hey there, how's it going?
Don't forget, in these uncertain times, be yourself.
Peace.
Dave.
Hi everyone,
This podcast contains information that might upset some people. I bloomin' hope not!
So after a few conversations with some friends/fellow drummers etc... I decided to document this in audio and publish.
It might help someone come forward and go to the doctor/seek medical help with something they are worried about.
As I mention in the podcast, this story was already featured in a newspaper (Manchester Evening News) and on a website (formally LIFE.org, which no longer exists as far as I know).
It has nothing to do with drums.
It contains some very personal information about my life and my recovery from Lymphoma, and some people might find some of the details in this podcast a bit unsettling or upsetting.
I do hope you enjoy.
Peace.
D.
Hello there,
A bit of chat about the classic Ted Reed material found in his famous 'Syncopation' book.
Hope you enjoy,
Thanks and peace.
D.
Hey there,
How's it going? Hope you're well.
This moth's ramblings are a bit of a continuation from last months, mainly talking about Jazz and Bebop drumming.
Thanks for listening.
Keep well.
D.
Ow' Do
Hope you're well.
Things come back around. The fundamentals and foundations of learning.
Have a great month.
Peace.
Hi there,
I hope all is well.
D you revisit things.
How do you work on things you revisit?
That's what my ramblings are about today.
Thanks as ever for listening.
Peace.
Hey, How you doing?
Don't forget to drop me a line via instgram (drummie_dave) or by other means if you feel the urge to share any similar thoughts to what I drone on about during this months episode.
It's been an intense month. More intense than perhaps I realise sometimes.
But we're still here, trying hard and pushing on.
Keep the faith people.
I hope you're well.
Thanks for listening.
D. Peace.
Hi everyone, Welcome back. Sorry it's been a while (again).
I'm moving to a monthly podcast for the foreseeable.
This month I've been thinking a lot about when 'one' is being artistic and when one is providing a service, as a session musician. And some thoughts around what all that really means to me.
Hope you enjoy. It's all a bit rambly and strange, but I get there in the end.
There is also a ramdom ladybird interlude, but it soon passes....
Bye!
Hi there, Hope you're well.
Some musings about reflecting on whether the things I practice are efficient. Also a few thoughts on the fact that you CAN learn new things, even when you're older. Don't let anyone takl you out of that!
Have a good week and thanks for listening.
Hi everyone,
Hope all is well.
I was thinking about knowledge, following on from last episode about'Being Open Minded'.
Have a listen and hope these interwinding ramblings are remotely interesting.
Peace.
Dave.
How do everyone.
Hope you're well.
Title kind says it all. No one reads this stuff anyway.
Enjoy.
Peace.
D.
Hi everyone.
I'm having a drum stick audit. What the heck is a drum stick audit. Well, press play and check it out. It's riveting.
Hope you're doing well and feeling super creative in your drum world.
Peace.
D.
Apologies. I've been crap. But I'm back.
DIY nonsense and some other ramblings in this episode.
Hope you're well and happy new year etc...
Peace.
D.
Hi there,
Hope you're well.
RIP master bass player/musician/composer/producer/gentleman Simon Goulding, who pased away on Thursday 9th Dec 2021. 44 yrs young.
Today I'm rambling on about how to find your sound, or how to think about finding your sound. Connecting some ideas and concepts from other podcats.
Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for listening.
Dave.
Hi All,
Hope you're well and sorry it's been a few weeks since the last post.
Today is quite a practical episode, with some ideas on how to setup a nice multi pad situation.
I also talk about some things I've been working. You might find the specific exercises helpful or you might find the approach to the exercise helpful in whatever you are doing.
Thanks for listening.
Dave.
How's it going? I hope all is well and things are startig to return to some kind of normality, whereever you are in the world.
For me, I've been back teaching face to face and gigging. So things have felt pretty normal, very suddenly. As a result, I've felt totally knackered! (pardon my english)
But it's a time of reflection (again ...) and has made me think about one thing, values and that leads to many things.
So that's what this episode is about. A rambling, meandering conversation about such things.
I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
Peace, Out.
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. This episode is a ramble about my hihats. I get a bit nostalgic about some old and now sold (and also lost) hihats. I also demo my small library of hihats.
I hope this episode helps you, perhaps, think about expanding your own collection.
Keep well and keep safe.
Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well.
Charlie Watts just passed away. RIP you legend.
So I decided to record this quick episode and share some thoughts.
Sorry about the audio issue in the middle. No idea why the mic lead suddenly started making that hideous sound. I didn't want to scrap this because I wanted it to be 'in the moment'. So I've published it anyway.
Peace and keep safe everyone.
Welcome back every 'one' (literally)
I decided to take some time off. I did flirt with the idea of a big 'Welcome back to Season #2 etc...' but this just ended up feeling like a continuation of the previous episodes. Like an old friend, you can go years without seeing/hearing from them, and when they suddenly come back in to your life, it's just exactly the same as it was.
So, more rambling musings to come. Thanks for coming back and checking in. It's much appreciated.
I'll be going back to my normal bi-monthly episodes from now on.
Keep safe.
Hi there,
I hope you're having a nice weekend.
This episode is a ramble about being interested in things and not being interested in things. Sounds like a load of nonsense, well listen on, and hopefully it'll be of some use to you. It's all very interesting....
Keep safe and well.
Welcome back.
Sorry there was a gap. I wasn't able to record an episode in the past couple of weeks.
Today I'm talking about some news books I've bought in the past couple of months and also some exercises I've gone back to from old books.
Hope you enjoy.
THanks for listening.
Happy Easter everyone.
I hope you're having a nice long weekend break.
This episode is a bit rambly and doesn't really get in to anything until about 20 mins in.
But the main topic today is transcription concepts. Are there other ways to use the information from a transcription to personalise your approach to the information.
Discuss.
Have a great week.
Hello everyone,
I hope all is well. Sorry this is late. I just didn't get time to post it after recording it on Sunday night.
There's not much to say really. EP#50 is nowt special. No big anniversary with the number 50. EP#49 was such a momentous occasion that I thought I'd make sure this was a low-key affair.
Hope you're doing well and have a good week.
Hi there,
I hope you're doing well.
A year on... what can I say. Well, have a listen and find out.
Keep safe and have a good week
Hi friends,
I hope all is well. I hope you are keeping safe.
This week I apologise (again) for not being 'regular' with the episodes. And I talk about why I keep a practice diary. There is also quite a bit of rambling, and some strange tangents. So, business as usual.
Have a good week.
Take good care.
Keep drumming! (or whatever else you do, keep doing!)
Hope you're all doing OK.
This week is an interweaving ramble about how all things lead to new things. Kind of obvious right? Well ... There you go.
But the specifics are personal to us all, and it's good to be aware of this when learning.
This episode also coincides with me finishing my Rudiment Foundations Snare Drum Study Book (pamphlet)
Have a good week.
Hi all,
Simple title this week. I'm chatting (very randomly) about how learning new things opens new doors. Kinda obvious right? Well, probably.
Keep safe everyone.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you're well.
This is a slightly different vibe than normal. I'm taking about what I'm hoping to achieve this coming year. Setting a few goals and sharing them with you.
A few things are potentially going to change, but this podcast won't!
Hope you're well and keep safe, wherever you are in the world.
Hi Everyone,
I hope you're well. This episode is about what's on your music stand at the moment? What are you working on? What are you NOT working on? Has something been sat there for a while that you've been meaning to get on with but not had the headspace to start? Or are you just too scared of facing the demon! I know that feeling. That's what I'm rambling on about in this episode. Maybe some of my thoughts will connect with how you may be feeling about getting on with some long overdue 'holes' in your playing. Winter time is a perfect opportunity to crack on with stuff like this. This gives you a few months lead-in time to the summer, when we tend to be more active with our playing.
Keep well and keep safe in these still strange times. Also, have a great holiday.
Hi there,
Just as it says on the tin. Nothing specific in this episode, except some general rambling about practising and being positive about new things.
Also, some drums shed DIY nonsense.
Keep safe and thanks for stopping by.
Hi there,
It's been just over a year since my first podcast was shared via this great platform (Podomatic).
This is an episode about how/why it started and also another visit to the world of the pad.
Enjoy.
Hi everyone,
I hope all is well.
This is the long awaited followup to the interview I did back in March. We chatted about the many roles of the modern musician/artist. His relationship with two drummers, Richard Spaven and Luke Flowers.
This was done just before stricter lockdown rules came in for Greater Manchester. We managed to do this face to face in Stuart's back garden and it was a bit chilly.
I've also included a few music clips in this episode. We make reference to them in the chat.
Hope you enjoy and keep safe.
Hi All,
It's been a few weeks since I last posted. Things have been rather busy and I also hadn't had time to actually post this episode, even though I made it nearly a week ago.
This was framed, 'The Three C's', but there's actually a forth, 'Concentration'. If you want to know more, listen on to this latest rambling.
Hope you're all doing well. Keep safe.
Hi Everyone,
I hope you're well. It's been a reflective week for me. Thinking about the 'ins and outs' of learning, focus, practicing, playing etc...
Carrying on in this non-prepped format, I share some of the thoughts I've had this week on being aware of how I'm working.
It jumps around a bit, but as always, follows a flow to a gentle conclusion.
Keep safe and thanks for listening.
Hello again,
I hope you're well.
Following on from last week's 'non planned' theme, I wanted to (try) bring together some thoughts I've had this past week about technique. These ramblings and ideas came about because of some observations I'd made when watching a few different drummers playing. It's also because I'm getting back in full-on 'teaching' mode again, with the start of the academic year here in the UK. I start teaching again this week and this is my annual regrouping after the summer break. This year has been quite different for me, for two reasons. One is something we are all sharing at the moment. Another is a very different personal situation from 12 months ago.
Thanks for listening and have a great week. Keep safe.
Hi there,
I hope all is well.
This is my first post in a couple of weeks. It's been a busy time and tricky finding the headspace for this, with everything that has been going on both at work and home.
Anyway, this week I answer a few questions I've had over the past month or so (Mainly on Instagram).
Topics include, favourite things to play along to, having a balanced practice routine and some drum stick chat, plus more...
Thanks for popping by and have a great week. Keep safe and well.
Hi everyone, welcome back.
By (mild) popular demand, I thought I'd do another episode about brushes.
This time I'm at the kit and I'm talking mainly about vertical playing. There's some info here about how to inprove your technique and how to think about way to embrace brush playing instead of playing with sticks.
I also talk a bit about which brushes I use and how I've chenged their setup over the years.
Thanks for listening and have a great weekend.
Welcome back. Nothing specific this week. Just some rambling thoughts about collaborations and also technique. No real plan, just a stream of conciousness.
Have a great week.
This week I talk about some soloing ideas. It's kind of abstract but it's just another angle. If you've not listened to episode #21 yet, it might be useful to listen to that first. Keep safe!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for coming back. This week I had the pleasure of interviewing a great drummer and extremely nice chap Christian Alderson.
Here are a few links to some of the projects he's involved in.
https://theunitama.com/
https://m.soundcloud.com/the-long-lonesome-go
https://thelonglonesomego.bandcamp.com
It's a long one and but it'll fly by. We chat about projects, his unique approach to drums and music in general. We also chatted about his background in photography and lots more.
Enjoy and thanks so much for listening.
Hi everyone, sorry about the late post this week. I had some issues publishing the episode on my host. Maybe they're trying to tell me something... Who knows.
Anyway, I hope all is well. This week I continue on a similar vibe as last week. I'm mainly talking about playing in 7. I'm suggesting a few ideas just to get familiar and more relaxed with the concept of space in the time. Looking at things from a math perspective and then taking about linking it to form and vocabulary.
If you get some ideas out of this (and last week's) episode, you should definitely feel more at home playing in odd time signatures.
Thanks for listening and see you next time.
Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well and keeping safe in these slightly improving but still challenging times. This week I'm taking you through how I was practicing this 23/8 (or 23/16) time signature. I had a few questions about it so I thought I'd record a episode at the kit to discuss how I've been trying to get better at this kind of thing. It's really outside my comfort zone, so it's great to share this with you. We all have to start somewhere when it comes to playing feels, style or pulses that our not within the culture that formed our rhythmic base. Mine was very much 4/4 and 3/4. I take a bit about that in this episode as well.
This is the first of a few episodes at the kit. Hope you enjoy and thanks very much for listening.
Have a great week.
Hi everyone. Welcome back. I'm back after a week off. I hope all is well.
This week I talk about being yourself. Having the self-confidence to go your own way, do your own thing, develop your own voice. As lockdown is starting to ease (fingers crossed) and you may have been (quite literally) in the shed for the past few months, things may have taken on a new perspective for you in your playing, or even your whole life. So keep going with that new found direction. Explore the new possibilities the hours, weeks, months of practice have given you.
I also gibber on about some random stuff like, why I no longer have a website and the whole missed opportunity around that.
Thanks for listening and have a great week.
Hello everyone,
This week (a bit later than planned) I'm on my own again sharing some thoughts about when to 'go for it' and when to air on the side of caution/controlling things a little more. I'm talking about playing live, recording, practicing etc... It's all pretty loose and is more about my head space at the moment, now we are starting to see the end of lockdown and the possibility of gigging again in the near future.
This is basically part of sharing my experiences of lockdown and the opportunities this has given me to develop my playing. As I've previously mentioned, I'd thought about having some time out of gigging, to sort out some aspects of my playing I'm not happy with, and this period has given me this opportunity. So I'm ultimately being grateful for it.
It's been a tough period of time for many people and devastating for others, so I feel extremely privileged to be in the position I'm in.
Hope you're doing well and enjoy the episode.
Take good care and keep safe.
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for checking in. This week I speak (at length) to an old friend of mine, Elliott Henshaw, who has been a busy session drummer in London for the past 14 years. We've known each other for over 20 years and have a very similar taste in music, drummers and comedy (Chris Morris).
This is a long one, so settle in and enjoy the chat. We talk about practising, life in London as a busy drummer, playing lots of different styles of music. Leo Sayer, Tony Christie, and the late Joe Longthorn. Elliott has also been a regular drummer on the West End scene since moving to London. He's also a tutor at BIMM London.
His website is https://www.elliotthenshaw.com and follow him on social media via the usual platforms.
Hi there,
I hope this finds you well. This week I talk about how my hardware (and other bits of gear) have changed over the years. I also discuss this evolution, or life cycle of 'new' drum stand design. How we've almost gone back to the heritage gear of the 1960's, but with obvious improvements in design and build quality.
I also talk a bit about recording and some gear I've recently bought. It can be really confusing to get the right equipment for your needs and budget. Do your research and be patient.
I've also just launched a Patreon page. You can find it here if you're interested or follow the link on my Podcast Homepage -
https://www.patreon.com/drummiedave
I recently had to start paying for hosting because I'd out grown my space on here (Podomatic). But either way, I'll still be creating these weekly episodes for as long as I've got something to say. It'll always be free to download/listen to.
Thanks for listening and I really appreciate your support.
Hi Everyone, I've got another treat for you this week (and me!). At the weekend I managed to catchup with my very good friend Seb De Krom and talk about his life (so far) as one of Europe's top Jazz drummers. We chatted about his early life and how his father encouraged him to get in to drums. The move to Belgium when he was a teenager and the opportunities to play jazz in 1980's Brussels. And then the move to America to study and perform with some heavyweights of the jazz world. We then move on to the 8 year partnership with Jamie Cullum and bass player Geoff Gascoyne. We also chat about his work as an educator, NYJO Academy and his residency at the iconic Troubadour in London's cool SW5 district. It's a long one so sit back and enjoy. Thanks for listening.
I hope you've all had a good week. On the back of last weeks podcast (my interview with Rich Kass. Go listen if you haven't already) I spent quite a bit of time writing music, practicing the drums and also reflecting on some fundamentals of time. So that's loosely the topic of this week's podcast. These thoughts also led me to consider that I might be taking some of the fundamentals for granted. I think it's good, from time to time, to check in with these aspects of your playing.
Thanks for listening.
Hi everyone,
This was a real treat for me. I got to interview Rich over Zoom during lockdown and it was great to talk to him about how he got in to the drums and the journey to becoming, in my opinion, a true innovator of the instrument. Rich is genuinely pushing boundaries on the drum kit and he talks about how he thinks the drum kit will evolve in the future. Also, his commitment to understanding how to play and voice polyrhythms on the drumkit is pretty remarkable. Sit back and enjoy this episode. It's quite a long one, but full of some really interesting insights.
Thanks and keeps safe everyone. Peace.
Stupid title I know. And last weeks title was also a little misleading but I was trying to split these players in to different areas of my life. In the end they all inspired me and are only a handful of the many players who have help shape where I am today and continue to guide my development.
I've not even mentioned tutors/mentors in here either because that's a different vibe altogether.
So, the list this week is -
Will Kennedy
Mark Walker
Brian Blade (kind of again)
Jim Keltner
George Perilli
Russ Kunkel
Jeff Porcaro
Steve Gadd
John Robinson
Carlos Vega
Thanks for listening and keep safe.
So, this is in no way a full list. It's just a brief overview of a few drummers who really influenced me. I do start with 3 British drummers who are not jazzers! But this then leads to a list of players who changed my way of thinking, playing and listening.
This is part one of two. Thanks for listening.
So the drummers featured this week are:
Rick Butler
Steve White
Keith Moon
Bobby Colomby
Buddy Rich
Joe Merello
Kenny Washington
Jack Dejohnette
Jon Christensen
Dan Gotlieb
Dennis Chambers
Peter Erskine
(A bit of) Brian Blade
Hi everyone, thanks for checking out this latest episode. This is #21.
In this thrilling instalment I talk about my approach to soloing and how it's changed over the years. From the early days of epic 'Jazz Odysseys" to the more simple and melodic approach of where my head is at the moment. There are also some examples in this episode, played by myself. I talk about using melody as a springboard to allow ideas to show themselves and be explored. I also talk about following your ideas through and having the confidence to explore what you hear, not what you think you should play.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
Hi everyone,
I hope you're well and staying safe.
This week I'm talking about what I've been up to over the past week or so. I've been trying to get better at recording, trying to stay focused on practise. Trying to do some remote recording for people. Generally staying chilled and keeping things in a rhythm. I hope you've been able to find a rhythm that works for you.
If not, reach out, speak to friends, or family etc... Wishing you all the best at the challenging time. Take opportunities where you can.
Peace.
Hi everyone. I hope you're doing OK at the moment.
I had a week off podcasting and I'm returning this week with a real treat for you all. This is a long awaited podcast that Stuart and I had chatted about doing a while ago.
We talk about the old days back when we met in the late 1990's. We talk about some drummers that have influenced him as a musician. Myke Wilson, Luke Flowers and Richard Spaven.
If you don't know Stuart, you should check him out. He's a truly unique voice in the UK music scene and a massively talented dude. Go and check out his biog at http://stuartmccallum.com or follow him on social media @stuartmaccallumguitar on instagram.
Keep well and stay safe everyone.
Hi there,
Hope you're well.
This is a slightly rambly episode (on another level from previous rambling-ness) with a mini Q&A that kind of runs through it.
- My Setup (Recording/Video)
- Consistency (What does this actually mean?)
- Drum Health (seriously!)
- Tuning Drums (This wasn't worthy of a whole episode with my limited knowledge)
Hope you enjoy and stat safe and well.
Hello there, Hope you're all doing ok?
This week I'm rambling on about 'process'. I talk a bit about learning a new snare drum piece, transcribing, learning from records. practicing coordination and working with others in the studio. There's even an 'audio example' embed in the podcast. Rare unpublished footage of an alternative drum take I did when recording with artist Tom McRae.
Strange times (understatement of the year so far...)
So today I'm talking about how to stay motivated at the moment. Some useful tips about how to perhaps rethink your practice goals.
Hope you are well and stay safe and healthy.
This week I talk about teaching. Well, it's more about the journey of learning how I teach. How I'm still adapting the way I communicate ideas to others and also how I understand others.
It's quite a long one, mainly due to some early ramblings about how the incredible Rhode NT2a mic survived being posted through Royal Mail with no protection. Usual nonsense. Hope you enjoy.
This week I talk in more depth about my personal journey (so far) with cymbals. Cymbals have mapped my development, almost before changes in my playing have come to be realised and consolidated. As I changed from one sound world to another, cymbals have always been at the heart of it, every step of the way.
So, last week I was talking about a few different drum books I've used over the years. Thanks to everyone who sent me ideas about the books they use. This week, as a natural progression from that topic, I talk a bit more about technique, both in the feet and the hands. Lots of these ramblings connect in some way to each other and if you've been following previous episodes, you certainly get a taste of that.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
This week I ramble on about some drum books I've used over the years. I'm also inviting you to send your favourite drum books. Drop me a line on Instagram @drummie_dave or drummied@gmail.com with your recommendations.
There are 2 main areas reflected on in this episode. Using books to put 'concepts' in to place or just studying 'the book' !
Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for listening.
This week is really rambling. The news is a bit all over the place and subjects jump around a bit. It does all make sense in the end, I promise.
But I'm mainly talking about rudiments and some ways to think about making them more interesting. Making them your own. Adding character. Getting beyond the written material. I give a few examples on my practice kit.
That's about it! Hope you enjoy.
Today I talk about what might be useful if you're considering becoming a 'pro' drummer. I run through some things to consider if you want to be a flexible and useful player, that's adaptable to the unpredictable world of playing gigs. Dealing with Venues, Musicians you don't know, Driving, Gear, Reading, and just being prepared.
It's the usual rambling vibe. Hope you enjoy.
Today I ramble on about what to work on. Practice. Practise. (in the) Shed. Getting' your stuff together. Whatever that means to you, it's the actual material you work on during this time at the instrument that can make a real a difference to how quickly you get to the solution to the problem. I share some of my thoughts about this and also go off on a few (mostly) connected tangents.
... in your head. Well, in one's head.
Today's episode is a little different. I'm sharing some stories about experiences on the band-stand or in the studio where we might be getting a little 'in our own head' about what's going on in the dynamic of the situation.
There may be some stories here you might relate to. There might be times where you might be freaking out when you're playing with people you don't know. I'm not sharing tips and tricks here, more what I've learnt thus far (after 34 or so years of playing) about how to deal with myself in these situations. Most of the time it was me that is/was the problem, not the other person/people in that situation. Classic!
Trust the music. Trust the players around you. Open you ears, open you heart, open your mind!
In this podcast I start off by rambling on about new and old drums. It's all a bit random but basically I'm a little excited at getting some new drum love in my life.
Then we get to the topic of the day, setting a new standard for yourself when you're practicing. I talk about my experience of learning to practice properly. I also talk about connecting to the drums both physically and mentally. The thoughts and opinions in this podcast can also be applied to other instruments, or even other topics.
In this episode I talk about 'Time'. Not how to tell the time, but 'time awareness', Peter Erskine's brilliant book about collective time awareness. I talk about different ways to practice with the metronome. Make it a tool to serve, no something you have to be a slave too. I also touch on my time using the drumometer for 'time' practice. It's my usual relaxed ramblings, chatting through some personal experiences. Hope you enjoy and there's some useful information in this for you.
This is the 2nd part of the 'Foundations' series, in which I talk about the often misunderstood and multidimensional rudiment, the Flam!
There are some general ramblings about the voyage of discovery via my good friend Elliott Henshaw, and Steve Gadd.
There are also some practical examples here too. It's not a lesson, it's more of a discussion about some other ways fo thinking about the flam.
Hope you enjoy!
In this episode, slightly longer than I hoped, I discuss the sound-world of brushes. This is not a brushes 'lesson', more an insight in to my journey with brushes, how and why I learnt to play them. Who to check out. Different approaches to vertical and lateral playing. And some general musings about experiences of playing brushes in different styles of music. This is not a 'jazz' focused edition. But I present an opinion that points towards studying jazz brushes might help one find a quicker way in to playing lots of other styles.
Thanks for listening.
Podcast#3. Today I ramble on about this concept of 'Foundations' in one's playing.
It starts with me explaining the ideas behind a collection of exercises I invented between 2004 - 2006.
I also talk about different ways to have foundations in your playing or approach to learning.
There's also a short intermission to deal with a weather harassed cat.
Hope you enjoy.
Some random musings about my old practice pad. I've had it since I was 12. It's been with me all the way through my journey so far on the drums. I supposed it's a little tribute to this inanimate object that has been such a great place of discovery and solitude for me.
Just some random musings about spending time listening, absorbing and not getting overwhelmed by the unlimited choices we have available to us these days.
