WOW DUDE! Very Impressive👍 Could you share some clips of their performance? Thanks

Awesome! ❤❤❤

Any tips from her on how to stay energized or fit for drumming? I watch drummers and I feel like it requires lots of energy and I tend to have low energy for drum playing.

@@denniszenanywherethe secret is to practice for efficient technique. It doesn’t require that much energy if you’re doing it effortlessly.

That’s such a fantastic and wholesome thing to read !!! How blessed/lucky/take your pick you are to have such an inspirational mom!!

That's because it's not a regular series 🙂. Search Tim Ferriss Experiment for another user's playlist that contains 14 videos - Emilio Lanza to be precise.

That is true, but this is rather impressive still. From here its easier to learn the next song, and the next song etc.

@@MrVleker my point is that learning songs is not learning an instrument. its just remembering patterns. truly learning an instrument puts you in a flow state that doesn't require strict structure. I could memorize and rewrite a Shakespearean sonnet or try to paint the monalisa. but neither of these is going to teach me how to be a poet or a painter faster than starting at the fundamentals with techniques like how to hold a paintbrush. learning music song by song will only mask foundational inadequacies. you could impress a room of other novices, but the masters can hear everything you are doing wrong. (tim sounds so out of place here) you would be much better off learning the drums with one drum pad, practicing different paradiddles and understanding things like dynamics. and ever so often, try and pick up a song that utilizes the technique at your current skill level. much like how musical instruments have been taught by the masters for centuries. constantly taking shortcuts in life is going to get you no where. Tim Ferris will undoubtable die as a man who as experienced much but has mastered nothing. not to say that hes not an impressive human being. but he seems to spit in the face of those who truly take the time to learn a complex skill like music or business and breaks it down into these shortcuts that in my humble opinion, are horseshit.

Finally someone said it! Thank you!!

I respect your willingness to go against the prevailing sentiment in the comments, but I still disagree… I think as long as you are careful about not developing bad habits (and you don’t get too overconfident just because you can play a few songs well), you can go song by song and pick up the foundations along the way. It’s a lot more fun, which keeps you motivated, and you can fill in technique gaps and improve with experience. All songs are made of the same parts, and the more you expand your repertoire and internalise them through practice the more you recognise the patterns and can start to use them in new songs, or improvisation. Either way, for most people who do not aspire to reach pro levels, it’s better to enjoy the process by getting the payoff of learning songs fast and early. No point to make students focus on drilling technical exercises if they will give up from boredom before they ever learn a single song… my two cents!

@@KevinTPLim I said you learn songs at your skill level along the way. you didn't counter any argument I made and I'm not sure I even understand the point you are attempting to make. (A cringe inducing, pretentious, and convoluted rhetoric) The "Prevailing sentiment" in the Tim Ferris comment section is obviously going to have bias. It would be incredible ignorant to consider the comment section in anyway a reliable source for whatever point you are making. I was shown this video because I am a musician myself, but as for my opinion of Tim Ferris, almost every Stan I've ever met of Tim's is moving through life like a hamster on a wheel. Looking for short cuts and switching whatever "self improvement" hack they "found" month by month, not realizing they are getting nowhere. that's why people who have actually succeeded in developing life skills that obviously take painstaking dedication think he's kind of a dipshit who's convincing himself he's "hacked" skill mastery, when in reality he's nowhere near a master of anything other than drawing a crowd of success deprived men and separating them from their money.

Yeah, I’m a drummer & even though I understand what everything represents when I look at sheet music (for drums), I can’t read music & it would take me well over a week of constant practice to be able to read along while I’m drumming & likely many months before I could be comfortable letting it guide me through a song. It’s definitely not the route I would take if I had to teach someone to play drums in a week.

I read sheet music on other instruments but I just see very little reason to on drums. I've been playing for 25 years and it's honestly never come up for me personally

Man I wish I had taken that ear protection advice to heart when I was younger. I am lucky to have the hearing I have.

10 years!

What if it was Foreigner's drummer? Like in the video. I've never heard Journey's version of Hot Blooded, bet it sucks. Did ya even watch the video? And of course for you, "as a drummer", this would be easy, I'm sure. I, as a musician for 30+ years, would also have very little trouble. Tim, who has absolutely Zero musical history, did a Damn good job keeping up, which you would know if you watched the video. I doubt you or many other "drummers" would have done any better within your very first week of learning.

Drum jazz funk dance party band?!? Name please!!!!!

@@humminahummina Thanks for asking! Will Drum For Dancers (WD4D Collective), our first show is Feb. 7th at Drom in Toronto, Canada. It'll be filmed so there'll be clips!

@@RippleRhythm1 that sounds awesome--I can't help but feel excited for you! If you're at all inclined to consider the words of random nobodies on the internet, then consider this: I can imagine the myriad million things which might cause stress or anxiety as you get ready for and perform your first show with the new band. You gotta shrug all that off. Whatever role you play in the logistics of making that gig happen, fulfill your obligations as best you can, and don't even bother yourself to think about all the rest of the stuff which isn't your responsibility. Let it all go so that you can be in the moment and actually enjoy yourself. I've never been to a live drum jazz funk dance party band performance before, but I think it's a safe bet to say it's a fun time--for the audience, but probably even more so for the performers. Making music with others can be an absolutely magical experience. No single word could hope to describe the way it feels; "magic" might be a good start though. And given the Dr Funkenstein hodgepodge of genres you've patched together and brought to life, I think another safe bet would be to say that _fun_ is an essential component of the music. I'm not wrong on that, right? With all that said (and with your forgiveness of my digression) we come to the one point I'd most like you to consider--the most important thing for you to do at your upcoming show, is _have fun._ No matter what happens, have fun. If something goes wrong - and we're talking about a live gig here, so, some sudden technical issue popping up should probably _expected_ to happen - whatever it is, don't sweat it. If someone forgets their part, or flubs their fill, forget aboubt it. Or better yet, have fun with it--improvise around it, incorporate it into the show. If the audience even notices what happened, seeing that it didn't even break the band's stride will only leave them more impressed. Having fun = #1 ✌😋

@@SineEyed THANK YOU for your wonderful wise words of encouragement! I'm already 100% on board with everything you said. I started too controlling wanting the structure to be too rigid, too safe, but I realized I have to trust the musicians, the audience and the moment to have so much material to play off of, my only job is to be present and ENJOY it. My role as the "frontman", aside from sculpting the improv, is to engage playfully with the audience, block party style, call and response, sing a longs, dance offs, etc. and make the concert a real act of co-creation and community. We've got a videographer coming to shoot the concert, so I'll be sure to leave a link here once it's up and you can how it all shook out! Thanks again! All the beats!

@@RippleRhythm1 awesome--sounds to me like you got this... _in the pocket_ one might even say lol 😜 I'd love to check out the video once it's available, absolutely. So please do drop a link when you can. Be sure to tag me so that I get a notification. And knock 'em dead at the show!.. 🤘😎
