Don’t judge a book by its cover. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been told, “oh I didn’t know you we’re into that,” when teaching friends saw one of my open mic videos on YouTube, or tech friends heard that I’ve been teaching for 25-years. It’s really got to be a lot harder on amazing talented drummers who don’t seem to fit a particular stereotype… (Tom Pearce, from the Oak Hill Drifters!). So, whatever you do, enjoy and openly share your passion ‘cause it turns out we come in all different shapes and sizes and it’s the passion inside that matters most. Happy Friday and enjoy the beginning of your Memorial Day weekend.
