drumming secrets

For my students at the Rotterdam Conservatorium it often comes out that personal coaching becomes needed at the last 2 years of their education! Which is understandable because the first 2 years drumming students tend to be more focussed on their technical abbilities and musical skills, rather then worrying about their professional career after school! However, it has become more logical to use the last 2 years of their study to get their attention on the obvious question: "How are you planning to make a living in music?"

The students I have online have a total different reason to look for a drumming coach; often they have a regular job as managers, taxi drivers or entrepeneurs and practise drums as a second life fullfilment. However, behind the drumkit they have the same drive to achieve a higher level, as they probably have in their daily profession! It's fantastic to see them improve while I am coaching them online, worldwide during my "One 2 One" sessions.
