242 – What should you be working on?

As drummers we have infinite amounts of choices when it comes to what we have to work on: Practicing, networking, writing, getting gigs, starting a band, touring, technique, hands, feet, etc. The list is endless. Depending on where you are in your career, what your goals are and how much time you have can determine what is the best use of your time and effort. This session will give you some insight into what I’ve done over the years to not only regain my focus but also give me the greatest return on my investment of time and energy.

I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments below.
