It’s week 3 of “list gets the youtube video early!” Today I have not just the weekly youtube video, but also the podcast that’s coming out next Tuesday.
Want to play drums injury-free into your 70s and beyond?
I sure do.
Today’s video guest, Brandon Green, was coaching elite athletes when a high school friend’s struggle with injury inspired him to utilize his skills to help drummers. Since then, Brandon founded the Drum Mechanics YouTube and Instagram channels, where he breaks down the setup and movement of some of your favorite drummers, and gives tons of free advice to help all drummers improve our setup and movement.
I wasn’t an uninterested party. Since becoming a “tall guy” I’ve always struggled with “Ichabod Crane Posture”, and over the past couple of years I’ve been experimenting with setup mental cues, and exercises to help me move better.
Brandon weighs in on the posture conundrum from both philosophical and practical angles.
Then I ask him to help resolve something I’ve always had confusion about: rack tom angle. And the answer surprised me. (But I’m making a change.)
The bite-sized YouTube video of the week is above, and if you want to see the complete, hour-long podcast episode with Brandon Green, that’s below.
Want to study with me one-on-one, in a “virtual college semester” experience, that includes 6 months of one-on-one calls, a custom curriculum we design together, unlimited feedback on your playing, and an awesome community of other drummers all working toward their goals?
For a limited time I’m accepting applications for new coaching students. It’s not cheap, but for the right drummer we can change the trajectory of your playing.
