The Drummer Mindset Podcast
This is a weekly podcast for drummers looking for new ideas on how they can maintain persistence to succeed in their musical goals. My guests and I tell stories and discuss ideas on ways to get through technical, physical and mental barriers.
I spent the last 10 years as a psychiatric provider and enjoy having deep conversations with people to help them find their motivation to get them where they want to be. I returned to drumming in 2022 with a commitment to listen, practice, and learn. Now I am continuing those conversations with other musicians about craft and life that help us stay on our game on The Drummer Mindset Podcast. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Follow me on Instagram and YouTube for BTS.
The Drummer Mindset Podcast
Time Spent with Alan Hall
So excited to share this episode with a teacher of mine, Alan Hall. He's been teaching in nearly all settings from middle school jazz camps to Berklee School of Music for over 40 years. You can take lessons with him now online. Book at his website at jazzdrumming.com. He's toured and recorded all over the world with various artists and attended school with other monsters you'll hear about in this episode.
If you're in the Asheville area make sure to catch him regularly at Little Jumbo with Jay Sander and Zack Page or his ensemble, The Asheville Jazz Collective.
You can also check out the Spotify playlist of artists mentioned during our conversation. Some he mentions, some I mention. They vary from artists that mark the time to personal influences and heroes.
