I’ve been a professional drummer for most of my adult life. Early in my career I decided that it was very important to me not to regret anything later in life. I never wanted to look back and say, “I wish I had done that instead, or I wish I’d tried that.”

Avoiding regrets completely simply isn’t possible. We don’t have a crystal ball, so no matter what choices you make in your drumming career, there’s no way of knowing for sure what the outcome will be until later. I would however, like to share with you some of the mistakes I made in my career as a drummer, along with conveying a few of the things I think I did right and the results of those decisions. Hopefully this will result in greater success in your own drumming career.
