Playing louder isn't as simple as just playing harder. Try it sometime. Put on a pair of tarmac ear muffs, and try to play as hard as you can.
Today's guest teacher, my coaching partner Jacob Evans, struggled with lower back injury because he played with bad mechanics. So he developed a system to play at full volume for longer, without injury.
So - how do we do it? Jacob says by emulating the pros: drummers who've played big venues into middle age. And if you watch drummers like these, you'll start to notice a few key mechanics in common. And it's these mechanics Jacob attempts to teach me in today's lesson.
Enjoy!
