A Message To The Old School Pros

Jared Falk  /  UPDATED Aug 19, 2022

The age of the internet has brought forth numerous ways for drummers to learn, network, and make a name for themselves around the world without leaving the comfort of their practice space. No matter how exciting this is, it is frowned upon by many old-school pros because it is not how they learned to drum or became professional musicians.

In this Podcast, Jared and Reuben will discuss some of the issues they have with this way of thinking and how detrimental it can be.

Episode Highlights:

  • Drumeo’s community manager Reuben replaces Dave for this episode!
  • Jared and Reuben discuss how the music business has evolved.
  • Hear tips on how you can start making a name for yourself.
