Sometimes I feel like I just hit a wall in terms of improvement and skill level.. Anyone ever go thru this? It's just so discouraging because you have doubts about yourself and your ability to play drums.. sure u can get thru it with hard work but it's just so hard to find new things to learn and really keep motivated.. the dreaded comfort zone..
so what do you guys do to braek out of something like this... the drummers block so to speak
What I ended up doing is I tryed a new way of playing and started working more on my left foot to make it stronger.
I also got some videos to see what some of the main stream guys that have a very unique playing style to see if I could put some of there stuff into my music. and that can help you form new ideas and even whole new rythums that you never thought about playing.
it's also good to get a drum teacher if you can afford it and are willing to put in the time for it... a good teacher will really motivate you and give you new ideas that you probaly didnt think of before... but if you cant do that.. books and dvds and videos of other drummers are the next best thing
Think of it like running or trying to lose weight.. You may not see results in a day or two.. but if you look at the whole picture you can see yourself improving and getting better at the drums.. so whenver you practice and it sucks and you don't see yourself going anywhere, keep at it, step back and look at the whole picture.. step by step you're getting somewhere
