211: What a day at the gym taught me about drumming

Every day I try to learn something new; a better way of doings something, a new skill or something I can apply to my daily life to make me more efficient, smarter, successful and ultimately happier

For a long time I struggled with developing a good workout routine but have been on a good streak for about 2 years now of consistently going to the gym and eating well. So, how did I do it? I changed my approach and I changed my concentration when I was at the gym. This is something I never realized until I watched someone else work out and paid attention to their focus. The lesson I learned was invaluable and I’ve started applying this lesson to every area of my life, including my drumming.

Dream Cymbals: Dream Cymbals are a different kind of cymbal company because they keep it simple. Their approach is simple: Make high-quality, handcrafted cymbals and gongs and sell them for a reasonable price. PLUS, you can bring your old cymbals (even if they’re cracked) and trade them in for a new Dream Cymbal. For every inch of cymbal you bring in, you get $1 off your cymbal. Have a broken 20″ crash? Trade it in for $20 off your next Dream Cymbal. The coolest part is they recycle the old, broke cymbals and use the material to make their crotales and crop circles. Check them out at DreamCymbals.com
