HEY MAN! Ep.8: How To Spot A Non-Professional Drummer
Examine Your Drumming: Warm-Ups, Timing, Dynamics, and Emotional Expression In this episode, I'll show you a couple of simple but purposeful hand warmups, utilizing groups of 2's, 3's, & 4's, aimed at promoting mental and physical engagement. Today's covers the differences I see between beginning / intermediate drummers (non-professional) and advanced / masterful (professional) drummers. I know that word "professional" is a term loaded with all sorts of baggage. But let's unpack it together and see where it takes us. We'll look at thinks like avoiding excessive tension while holding sticks and rushing beats, offering strategies for relaxation, consistent timing, and overall sound quality improvement. Key aspects of rhythm and dynamics are explored, emphasizing the importance of maintaining tempo, dynamic control, and accommodating various performance environments. The episode also addresses the pitfalls of overplaying and increasing note density out of boredom. We'll talk about the misconception that intensity means volume. Finally, I will talk about the critical role of emotional depth in drumming, encouraging drummers (and all musicians) to fully harness feelings such as anger, happiness, and disappointment for a more compelling and expressive performance. Continuous learning and emotional engagement are vital, even for seasoned musicians.
