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
Character and Quality with Jeff Hankin of Carolina Drumworks
A few things I learned in this episode:
1. Building drums can provide a special understanding of the relationship of sound to the individual artists and their audiences.
2. What we are looking for in a sound or a drum isn’t really what the drum is or was in that recording or what you even heard live.
3. Much like learning to be a parent of a child, you have to learn to let go of expectation and be open to the character and quality of the drum presented to you.
We go deep into some of the technical aspects of drum building and sonic details of making music. Jeff kindly brought some of his handiwork to the studio. All I can say is that if you are interested in independent, individually crafted drums you need to check them out.
I invite you to leave a 5 star review and comment or drop me a line and let me know what you think.
