"Normal" Drummer
We all make New Year's Resolutions (lose weight, exercise, stop smoking, etc..), but what are some of your drumming goals for the year? I have a few:
1) Continue taking lessons - I have had a few lessons with jazz drummer, Bob Meyer, over the past year. We have been working on some specific technique things, as well as working on some things out of the Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer book. It has greatly helped my feel and interpretation of songs in my own little jazz project.
2) Stick Control/Gaddiments - Both great books, and I'd like to commit practice time to both on a daily basis.
3) Play with people - Gigs are scarce these days, but I honestly don't care too much about that, as long as I have people to play music with. Right now, my jazz project is mostly a rehearsal room thing. I'm sure some gigs will come eventually, but in the meantime, regular, consistent jam time is important.
4) Vintage - I have a few vintage drums that are mainstays in my small collection. I hope to add a couple more drums to that this year. I lean towards Slingerland, so another Radio King is always the goal.
Love to hear some of your goals to become a better musician for 2022!
