Hi guys

We have these for you for the week.... 1. showmanship! Many players snub this aspect of drumming While it's certainly not required, it does increase your overall marketability. Additionally, besides being fun, the crowds eat it up. Remember Buddy Rich playing drums on the Muppet's show? Incredible!

2. Keep a journal with your drum practicing ideas in it. It assures visual recognition as well as aural and increases the rate of learning/memorization for drumming

3. Understand speaker feedback and how it can be reduced or eliminated. This way you can assist when there isn't a good sound man around to help with your drum sound.

4. Study a melodic instrument (not just drumset). This will give you a valuable understanding of harmony, chord structure and overall music theory. You can then be more involved in the arranging of your band's songs. You can also write your own drum charts more efficiently.
