4 drum camps in 5 weeks and now it’s time for a little “me time” on the kit. Jamming without a plan other than to enjoy drumming. We all need some time each day where this instrument isn’t a reminder of what we can’t do, but instead a reminder that ANYTHING is possible if you tackle it slowly with patience for yourself and the process. @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummersofig #drumsolo #drumfills #drumme

If you struggle to improvise or be creative on the drum kit try this out. Start simple, make sure to always get back to your bookmark, and slowly over time, improvising won’t be so challenging. Also, please let me know in the comments if this is too “concepty” for Instagram. (yes I know that’s not a word, lol). 🍵🙏🍵 @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummersofig #drumsolo #drummerlife | Mike Johnston

Changing where you crash after a drum fill (exit strategy) is one of the easiest ways to level up your fills. I hope this short lesson pushes you to jump on the kit and explore how you get out of the drum fills you already know :) 🍵🙏🍵 @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummersofig #drumfill | Mike Johnston

PLEASE, do not be fooled. When you watch a one min. drum lesson like this on your phone it’s easy to assume you should be able to jump on the kit and just do it. The truth is, a minute long video usually encompasses years, if not decades, of work. Be patient with yourself and chip away at whatever it is that you’re working on ONE NOTE AT A TIME! You got this 🍵🙏🙏🍵 @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummerso
