MY STUNNING DRUM KIT

Image
A close friend of mine who also happens to be a drummer like myself came over to my place and asked if he could lend my drum pad for a week. I told him i didn't have one for now and showed him what i use to get my groove going as a drummer. This is my home made drum kit. All i did was look around me, use what i could find and make a drum kit for myself. Note; This is just temporary until i get myself a drum pad. LOL.

Networking like I listed above gets you the "word of mouth"(people connecting you and your brand with other people. People saying good stuff about you and how amazing you are on the drum kit etc) and when used by the right people (influencers) can get you the gigs you want. Also, thanks to "social media" you are also able to put yourself out there, build a tribe and get a lot of gigs dep
