One of the most important elements in playing commercial music is the ability to play with FEELING.
A feeling is personal and is the musician's own interpretation of the song. As musicians know, it is true emotion that makes great music.
After playing the drums for over 20 years, I've noticed that a lot of inexperienced drummers have the tendency to over play, which includes an excessive amount of drum fills and extremely loud playing. This is a common mistake because by over playing you can throw off the rest of the band, hence taking away from the song.
The most important thing that I practice, and teach all of my students is that you must learn to play for the song.
As an experienced drummer and instructor I can help guide you by giving you the tools you need to learn how to express your playing personally, and learn to play with true FEELING.
