It's been nearly two months since my first Instagram exchange with Eric Moore.
As I say in the lesson, I'd been curious about one aspect of his speed, and messaged him to see if he could offer any thoughts.
What I don't say in the lesson is that I sat on the lesson for nearly two months.
Which is also the reason for the "cutaway" to "future Nate" in the lesson.
Let's set the stage:It was the beginning of August. I'd just released my "Drumeo Challenge" video, and eaten a healthy dose of humble pie on the internet, as people took me to task for my hands.
At just that moment, Eric released the YouTube video that I feature toward the end of the lesson.
No coincidence that I filmed the "What to do when you hate your playing" episode that month.
So, Nate has a Low Moment, sees an Eric video, has to reflect on how to rebuild his confidence? Big deal, right? Haven't we seen that video?
Well, exactly.
Which is why, almost two months later, out of the country on the trip for which I pre-recorded the lesson, I realized I couldn't release it as it was.
I wasn't sure I'd ever release it.
Until I got home, and re-read it one more time."OH" - I realized.
"This just needs a transcription."
So that's what I've added. A little more skin in the game. A little more effort to make it "drum-valuable".
With the transcription, I was ready to let it see the light of day.
Presenting the lesson. Hope you like it.
See you next week, with another,
