LOL. To avoid stories that touch, this are CRAZY PEP TALK you don't say to a drummer.

1) Break A Leg: Just like the meme below, you don't tell a drummer to break a leg. I know you only wishing us good luck but if break the leg is destroyed what can the drummer do? Lol NOTHING.

2) I Know You Going To Nail It: Lol did you just say nail it, like "NAIL" it. I reserve my comment or do you see drummers go around with nails? I guess not. Lol.

3) You Can Do It: With enough practice YES I CAN. With no practice PROBABLY NOT(its gonna be bad)

4) You The Best In The World: I know, i know, i know. Nobody can take that from me. I have been the best since when i was a kid.

5) Play Like Its Your Last: Lol excuse me, its not my last, i still have a big Gig this night. God bless.

We do all have imaginations and as drummers we've all imagined things. Things that could help boost our careers as drummer, things that could make life easier for us as drummer, things that could make us feel good and proud about being a drummer.

So today we are just going to put our imagination to use and imagine the good, bad and ugly things that could come from being a drummer.

It's just a crazy imagination, don't take it too serious and I want to know yours too. Lol.

Here's mine:

5)LOlzzz. Most of us don't. Its not about the sticks tho but about who is handling the sticks.

4)Lmao. Seriously!!!! so i'm just gonna wait while others play. Smh

3)Lol. This is the excuse i'd give if i can't handle a 4-6 drum kit.

2)We all need this kind of director in our lives. Lolz

1)Lol. I would be worried if i wasn't a drummer.

If drumming was a sport i bet you its sure going to be crazy and different. Imagine sitting in a stadium full of drums fanatic waiting to see two drummer play against each other. Drummers call it shed but since we imagining it being a sport we going to call it a drum match. So lets grab a drink, sit and listen to what the commentators have to say about the match of the season. �

Commentator 1: its a beautiful day here in dynamics stadium and we are here to witness the match of all time between two successful club DW drums and YAMAHA drums.

Commentator 2: Yes i agree with you, this is the greatest match of all time and lets also not forget the star players in each club. They have really done well for their club, breaking both club records and individual records.

Commentator 1: Yes. Yes and talking about star players i think jay has really done well for his club DW. Last time he played did a lot of riding and crashing on the cymbals non-stop for more than 10 minutes. That's huge.

Commentator 2: Yeah i agree with you but i also feel dave have been phenomenal this season for his club YAMAHA. Setting a record of standing all through the Gig � i'm talking about a two hour drum Gig. Now i think that's more than huge.

LOL.

Growing up i watched a lot of drum videos, i still do. I watched videos of drummers who are amazingly good at what they do, drummers like Aaron spears, Tony royster jr, Chris Coleman, Gerald heyward. All of this guys are professionals with lots of Gigs and clinics to their names but one thing that differentiate one from the other is their unique style of play.

They are confident and happy with their own style of play and no matter how good the other guy is, they stick to the style that suits them the most, improving, reverse engineering, practicing and not forgetting to be themselves when on the drums.

Same goes for you and i. Learning from other drummers is cool but trying to imitate every move and style they use doesn't make you original. Just because he starts a roll with a triplet doesn't mean you have too. If the only roll you know is the double stroke roll, keep doing it until you learn something new. Just relax and enjoy your unique style of play. No matter how good or bad you are, you can  never play like the other guy. Even if you jamming to the same groove, something is sure going to be different.

Just do you.

Today i'm going to combine two ideas (football & drums) and see what i can make of it. I'm a huge football fan and it has always been one of my fascinations (No 3 on my fascination list). Drums is still remains my No 1 fascination.

Football: Its a great sport that consist of 10 players and a goal keeper reaching a total of 11 players. Their job is to kick the ball from one half of the field to the other with the aim of netting a goal and also going home with a win.

Band: Its a great music group that consist of singers and instrumentalist.
Their job is the create good music with the aim of entertaining its audience.

Football teams has always been known for their use of formations to help the team achieve a win. Formations that includes 4-4-2, 5-4-1, 4-3-3. 3-4-3 etc but today i'll be using 3-4-3 i.e 3-defenders, 4-midfielders and 3-forwards.

Bands don't use formations but i'll be using the 3-4-3 formation, for the bands, substituting the defenders, midfielders and forwards for singers and instrumentalist.

This is what we get:

Not just drumming alone but being innovative in every aspect of our lives. Starting from the way we do the small things to doing the big ones. Doing crazy stuff, doing things differently, doing things that might probably not work.

Like adding a little drop of super to make it super fantastic, adding a little drop of really to make your work or art really cool or adding a little drop of wow to get peopled wooooooowed at your work.

Just being a little innovative and creative makes you and i stand out.

As far as i can remember, drums has always been my number one fascination and with that drive and zeal, i started playing the drums at a young age (year 1 to be precise, lol) and it has been a crazy journey, full of ups and downs, gigs and no gigs, call backs and no call backs, free gigs and paid gigs, bad days and good days, bad drum kit and good drum kit, good band mates and the annoying ones but what kept me and i'm sure kept you going is the passion you have for the thing(s) you do.

You may have the same fascination you've always had as a kid or a new one, it doesn't matter. As long as you are able to DO, to put those fascination into action, to try new things, to reverse engineer you passion, good things are sure coming way (looking for the perfect motivational words to put there lol).

What fascinates you? and are you willing to DO.

Game of thrones is one of the best tv show to have graced the world of television. A series full of passion, twist, intrigues, love and hate. A series about kings and queens from the seven kingdoms fighting to sit on the iron throne. You can tell from this little hyping i did that i am a big fan of the tv show but as much as i love this show, as a drummer there is only one throne that matters to me and other drummers(maybe). A throne worth fighting for,  a throne that makes me the ruler over 7 kingdoms: Hi-hat, snare, cymbals, toms, floor toms, bass drum and the sticks.  The throne that blesses its people with beats full of rhythms and dynamics, the throne that when sat on by a great ruler can make its people dance with joy. Ladies and Gentlemen i present to you the only throne worth fighting for.


NB: For those who ain't drummers, a drum sit is called a Throne.

LOL. At one point in our lives as drummers, i am sure we've all come across this kind of keyboardist. The moment the singer comes up with the first song, they start looking for the right key, playing from f to c# to f# to d# to k# even to z# until they find the key that suit the singer and when the singer switch to a song they don't know, they start all over again looking for the right keys.

What are pros and cons of playing with this special set of keyboardist.

CONS
*They kinda kill the vibe: Lol bro i need you, so please speed up with the search.

*It weakens the guys on the drums: Looking for the right keys on every song, come on bro, i know you a beginner but come on.

*Its not a one man job: Lol bro we are in this together, looking for the keys while i keep the flow going all alone wasn't the plan man. Be fast about the search. Lol.

PROS
*Patience: Waiting for the guys to find the keys, waiting for the singer to start the songs after talking for 30 minutes, waiting for the engineers to fix the bad speakers etc. We all need patience.

*Victory: You know the smile on your face the moment you get what you'd always wanted after the struggle and hustle, yeah, that's how drummers feel when they guys on the keys finally get the keys

*Two heads better than one: Lol. We need each other. I'm sure you know that.
