    We dive straight into this one! First off we chat about our current feelings towards social media and the impact it has on their creativity and motivation. We talk about experiencing boredom and numbness with platforms like Instagram and Twitter, and the pressure to create content that stands out. We discuss their recent experiences performing and the challenges of finding the line between inspiration and overwhelming information. Then we touch on the need for teachers to check in with students and tailor their approach to each individual. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the why behind practicing and the musical payoff of exercises.

Came for drums, got so much more

Tuned in as a drum student. Ended up getting seriously valuable career advice, I don’t work in music. I’m a teacher, public speaker & social media user for work. Never expected these precise things to be brought up on a drum podcast. I got more nuggets of wisdom about these things than whole audio books on education.

Mike & Eddy, love your angle here. Massive help and huge thanks for what your doing!
