That&#8217;s longer than some YouTube drummers have been alive!<\/p>\n<p>While his first video went up in 2006, it wasn&#8217;t until 2013 that Jared created an educational video series called &#8220;Successful Drumming&#8221;. It included a bunch of play-alongs, and one was called &#8220;Challenge Accepted&#8221;, recorded in 2012. It was meant to challenge Jared&#8217;s skills, and he spent a long time making sure he could play it well (since he had an expensive hourly studio rental and film crew that was draining his wallet every take).<\/p>\n<p>9 years later, Jared wanted to look back at that play-along video and share some context around his playing at the time &#8211; and then recreate it in the current Drumeo studio.<\/p>\n<p>In almost a decade of progress, he&#8217;s learned to make more musically disciplined choices. Back in 2012, he felt like he had something to prove. But Jared has since realized that it isn&#8217;t about flashy fills and being technical. It&#8217;s about playing the drums so they match the music.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the two videos do you like better? Has Jared improved?<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"email-form-include-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/weeklyemail\" frameborder=\"none\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jared Falk has been posting drum videos for 17 years.
