Business & Drumming

I thought I only had to worry about playing the drums?

Sorry to burst your bubble but you thought wrong. Business is a part of life and a part of drumming as well. It's great to hone your craft by working on slick grooves and unique fills and musical phrasing but unless you're also spending time learning about business, you're going to struggle a bit more. Check out some of the information, articles and licks to valuable resources we're offering. Come back often as we continue to update this page.

Promoting myself        

There's an old saying that goes, "Out of sight, out of mind". It means that if people can't see you, they usually don't think of you. Did you ever wonder why some drummers work more than others? It isn't always because they're the better players. Sometimes you'll see just average drummers playing a heck of a lot! It's probably because they understand marketing. It's about getting out there and getting seen. Know how to promote yourself by using tried and tested marketing techniques.

How to Get Gigs

Some of the most successful muscians are the most business savvy.
