Chill-Out and Warm-Up

If you're like me, you've probably found that the analytical brain can be swarmed by over-thinking at times.

When I was younger I was under the impression that it was just about hitting the drums as hard as I could. All the drummers I knew were 5 years older than me and 2X my mass size.

Today, I can still play aggressively, but there's something more important and steady that has to be there as a foundation for the over-thinker and over-player.

Stewart Copeland has a simple, great way of explaining it to this drummer... Hear him out.
