What most drummers get wrong when it comes to developing real freedom and facility around the kit is this.
They spend almost all of their practice time in what I call the comfort zone.
Same ideas.
Same patterns.
Same movements.
Over and over again, expecting something to change.
What was Einstein’s famous quote?
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Well… most drummers are insane.
Let’s be honest. When has comfort ever led to real progress?
As Ryan Holiday puts it, The Obstacle Is The Way.
And he’s right.
This has always been my philosophy on the kit. If you want true, substantial progress, you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
That means deliberately spending time in areas that feel awkward, challenging, and unfamiliar for both your body and your mind.
When you do that consistently, hard things start to feel normal. A new baseline is set. Your facility opens up.
That’s exactly what I teach inside The Key To Chops Mastery.
I don’t teach empty licks. I teach concepts. Concepts that don’t just help you grow, but force you to grow if you do the work.
And that’s the best part. If you put the reps in, the results are basically guaranteed. Trust me.
