I am super stoked that my long time dream is coming into reality on the 25th Feb.
There has been a project in which I decided I needed to take on a few years back. It was really hard to decide to actually do this, as this meant giving up or putting on hold a lot of extremely important parts of my life. It also meant starting again and doing it alone.
As usual, most people (Including some whose opinion mattered a lot to me) told me they were disappointed in me, or that I would better off doing other things. It bummed me out quite a bit, but I guess that is no different to when I told people I wanted to become a professional drummer (that is a story for another time).
I have realised over time, that I battle to express myself in an understandable manner, because I have a bunch of thoughts trying to be shoved through a tiny funnel and then I don't really make any sense. This just meant I needed a different way to express what I want to say. Seeming all I really want to talk about is drumming and the life around it... I felt I needed to start a Drum Vlog/Educational/Creative space for myself and my friends in music. The point of this would then be to expand that to let it become a community for others to do the same in their own way.
Hence, Drum Above Lessons
I am going to make this as simple as I can. I am releasing 5 days a week on Youtube/Facebook and IGTV (maybe).
Here is how the posts are going to go.
Monday - Drum Vlog Vlogity Vlog Vlog (first one on the 25th)
Tuesday - Trinity R&P challenge
Wednesday - Drumless tracks/Loops for Drummers
Thursday - Rockschool Challenge
Friday - Drum concepts
I will explain each day's purpose as we get closer to the time of the release for each one.
This is a warning now though, that this is not going to be the normal type of drum lesson channel (Wait, did that sound normal?? Doesn't every company out there say that??)
Scratch that! This will be the most gosh darn freaking normal drumming channel you will ever watch.
If you are keen to get ready for what is coming out on the 25th.
Check out Drum Above Lessons and give it a like or if you are on Youtube...
