Every drummer is unique, just as every tree is different from one another, but our ability to succeed relies on each of us having a solid foundation. This is the one thing all successful drummers have in common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, that doesn\u2019t mean every successful drummer starts with a solid foundation. I\u2019ve known countless drummers who spent years trying to find a shortcut to success by skipping foundational concepts along the way. This invariably causes them to reach a ceiling with their drumming. Just as a tree can\u2019t continue to grow if it has weak roots, they can\u2019t progress to the next level until they take the time to improve their foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, it\u2019s never too late to establish a solid foundation &#8211; that\u2019s why my Successful Drumming\u2122 training pack was designed for drummers of all skill levels. We can only continue to grow and improve based on how well we understand, appreciate, and apply foundational ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the visual representation of The Drumming Tree\u2122 below, certain concepts are laid out in the roots and trunk of the tree. Keep in mind this diagram is part of an analogy, so the labels on the tree aren\u2019t an exact road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t necessarily master these concepts on the first pass. That isn\u2019t how this works, just as a tree doesn\u2019t fully develop its roots and trunk before sprouting a single leaf. Instead, the goal is to establish a solid foundation that you can continue to build upon over time. In fact, as you move on to more challenging lessons, your foundation will naturally strengthen as a result of applying the concepts! That\u2019s why each section includes specific goals in the form of a progress report, so you know when your foundation is strong enough to move on. That\u2019s really what this is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much information and advice available to drummers today, it\u2019s difficult to know what\u2019s important, what to do next, and when you\u2019re ready to move on. With Successful Drumming\u2122 you\u2019ll know exactly where to get started, when you\u2019re ready to move on, and what to do next in order to achieve your unique drumming goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful Drumming\u2122 wasn\u2019t created to be an all-in-one program that includes everything there is to know about drumming. Instead, it was created to give you a solid foundation and a clear sense of direction moving forward. Once you\u2019ve completed the lessons in this training pack, you\u2019ll have the knowledge, confidence, and musical abilities to achieve absolutely anything on the drums. This is your road map to drumming success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/drumming-tree.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1077\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/drumming-tree.jpg 640w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/drumming-tree.jpg 246w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe class=\"email-form-include-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/weeklyemail\" frameborder=\"none\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to play anything on the drums by starting with the basics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4015],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-1074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beginner-lessons","tag-jared-falk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1074"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47441,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074\/revisions\/47441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
