Supernatural Ability

-

Talking of the supernatural, I do not know if other instrumentalist has this unique ability or maybe it’s just the drummers alone. The ability to point out other drummers without having any knowledge of who they are. This is something I find myself (and I know other drummers do too) doing most times. It just happens. I can’t explain it.

A drummer could be in the church or a show and looking around he sees a guy sited somewhere minding his business, and instantly this supernatural ability kicks in and he knows for sure that the guy sited over there is a drummer.

I don’t know how we do it but 80% of the time we are always right.

Is it the looks? The charisma? Or just instinct?

I do not know for sure. But. I think there is one hack you can use to access this ability whether you are a drummer or not.

If you see a guy who is more invested in the drummer playing than the praise and worship going on. He is a drummer. I can bet my sticks. That guy is a drummer. Lol.

I do not know of any other supernatural abilities that drummers possesses but you if do, please feel free to spill, I want to know too.

 

PS: The pastor laid emphasis on the word “Supernatural” today in church and as a good listener I have decided to use the word too. Lol.



#Peace

Today I am going to share with you my top 10 crazy drum stick ideas. And as we all know drum sticks are sticks specially made for drumming and without it there is no beat, no sound, no music, nothing. We are literally screwed without the drum sticks. So today I thought about tweaking the purpose of the drum stick a little bit and giving it a new one. Something simple, creative, related and non-related to the drums. This ideas might be good or bad but Hey! Who cares? This is just me trying to bring out the potentials hidden inside the drum stick. Lol. So here are my top 10 bad ass drum stick ideas. 1) A drum stick wall hanger: What if I needed a wall hanger in my room? All I need do is gather all the drum sticks I can find, nail them together forming a rectangular shape or any shape I want and nail them to the wall.   Damn!!!! This is a bad ass idea. Lol 2) A drum stick screw: Just like the screw driver I should be able to use a specially made drum st...

HOW DO YOU GET THE GIGS

I have read a lot of articles on getting Gigs and how "networking" should be the number one medium at which you get yourself the Gigs you want. Meeting new people, working with the big guys in the music industry, doing free stuff to get the attention and trust of this guys, playing free gigs and trying as much as possible to create different connections are some of the networking moves needed to get the Gigs. And as you all know there are two ways to market a product : (1) word of mouth (2) social media/online marketing. Same applies here in getting a Gig as a drummer. 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...

I HEARD THE DRUMS TALK

Today was a good day for me and I feel so good and proud about myself and I guess you all don't wanna know why but I'm still gonna say it.    * I practised for hours today (doesn't happen often)    * I learned new rudiments, rolls, fills, and dynamics and also applied them on the drum kit in a day (yeah I'm a genius)    * I got a call back from the last Gig I had (one of the biggest Gig ever)    * I'm gonna be on tour with one of the biggest artiste in Nigeria (I dreamed about it Lol, still waiting for it to become a reality. #Positive)    *And I finally showed gratitude to the universe for making me a drummer. But None of my band mates was there to give me an high-five and tell me how good I am and also lie to my face on how I am the greatest drummer on earth but instead I sat there closed my eyes and I began to imagine things. And as you all know imagination is envisioning things that do not exist. So let's just imagine you ...
