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

  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

  Yes, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve written. Not because I’ve had nothing to say, but because I wanted to adjust the way I say it.   Shorter. Sharper. Something I can send weekly, without the noise. I never want to be married to the way I do things, so I needed some time to figure out

As you know, I am a relatively productive person. Mostly. Here’s some food for thought… Imagine if you took all your wasted doom-scroll time and consciously applied it to something seriously productive in your life. Just imagine. As it stands, in 2025, your attention is by far the most valuable asset you have. And guess what? You’re just giving it all away.

Well, I’m back in full swing now, and it feels great. Although initially a little rough, the jet lag has ultimately favoured me. I’ve been going down at about 8pm and up at 3am, which means I’m back in the studio by 3:30am, knocking a couple of hours out before the day starts. Thats a win!   The setup I’ve
