HEY MAN! Ep.7: Beginner's Mind in Beantown
Boston, Flams Revisited, and The Beginner's Mindset
In this episode, we're hanging out together in a scenic location near Boston. We circle the block on the 'Three Position Theory/Thesis' for perfecting flams, emphasizing hand position over effort for cleaner flams. Then, we will explore dynamic contrast as I show you these cool, convenient rubber drumstick tips for on-the-go practice.
Last, we'll dig into a 'beginner’s mind' for continuous learning. I'll cover how it can infuse your practice time AND you gigs with a fresh sense of wonder and novelty. We will also look at how it can help you become a better listener to the music that you're playing and help you capture some of the details you may miss if your brain is checked out.
