This week I want to talk about improvement.   As you know, I think about this stuff a lot. The things we do daily to help take us to the next level.   Whether it’s prioritising our health by staying active, so we get all those amazing benefits I’ve mentioned in previous newsletters. Dopamine, endorphins, serotonin. A sharper brain, a

  Let me guess. It could’ve been better?   Last week wasn’t your greatest. It started strong, with the best intentions and all, but by mid-week it had fallen by the wayside.   Work. Kids. Partner. Life. All the things…   It all gets in the way of practice, reading, exercise, and general wellbeing. Right? It’s tough.   I get

I know it sounds harsh. But I believe it through and through. You really are only as good as your doubles.   Be honest. Do yours fall apart the second you speed up? Does your weak hand drag? Do they turn to mush the moment you start moving them round the kit?   You’re not alone. Most drummers built their

I hope all is well at your end, and you are chipping away at the things you value most in life – on and off the kit. This is more important than ever!   It’s a journey, right!   I’m writing this because, as it stands, I see a LOT of panic out there. Panic that is definitely getting in

It’s a fresh week, so I wanted to hit you with something to have a good think about right at the start of it… Back in 2007, Jojo Mayer dropped his killer DVD Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer, and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a true Hudson Music classic. Three hours long, double

  I wanted to share a simple concept with you. Something that can really help open up your playing, as it did for me.   So I’ve been doing these daily live streams on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram while having my midday coffee.   They’ve been great. It gives me the chance to answer questions in real time, sitting on

Hey! So… I put up a post the other day that got a bit of attention – Comments, DMs, all of it. And I wasn’t surprised.   I’ll start here – ‘Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water’.   Then I’ll follow that up with this… Your phone, and the apps, are NOT the problem. And here’s the

  Hey!   I must say, I am pretty dam excited to finally share this with you.   I’ve just opened the pre-sale for my new program –   The Key To Personal Mastery.   Honestly, I believe this is the most important teaching material I’ve created so far.   The vision for this program has been there from the

  I used to be quite heavy set…   I was lean as a teenager, but at around 20-22yrs old, as a young parent, I let go…   Then, one day, I had enough. I realised my son (then 2yrs old), was always going to see me as Superman, so why not actually live up to that? I realised that

  It’s 5:10am, and my mind is firing on all cylinders. Maybe it’s the coffee, maybe it’s the quiet, maybe it’s just that early-morning clarity that hits before the world wakes up.   But this is what I’ve been mulling over…   Everybody needs a personal philosophy to live by. A set of standards you can always go back to
