Person, like a very specific example that's like something small. I'm at the gym and someone recks their weights improperly. It tries me fucking bananas. Drives me crazy.

“I'm like, everything's kind of cool. I think I don't even really need to go today. Those are the times when you stumble into some massive paradigm shift. And it literally is a paradigm shift. You see the world in a completely different way. And a lot of the times when that happens, it's funny. I'll just be... Talking out loud, like thinking but verbalizing it, and you sort of get on a path and then you're like, boom, and something happens. And you're just like, holy shit, where did that come from It's almost like an out of body experience. So a lot of it is trying to get outside of yourself, which is extremely difficult. And thinking about, well, is this aspect of my personality? Is this learned from my parents or someone else? Or is this part of me? And a lot of things that I didn't know I was even doing.”

“What's the same thing with drumming? I'm like, hey, look, if you're serious about this, we got to do this once a week because it's like going to the gym. You don't go two days a week for four hours. Right. You go once a week or every day. You go every day for an hour or something. As you have consistency, that's crucial. And you're able to make progress because it's a recurring dialogue you're having with someone. So I went once a week for years. And when things got particularly messy, I would sometimes go twice a week. And there were times when she really saved my life. Dealing with PTSD, or you literally feel like you're going to die And now I go once a month. And sort of check in. And what's funny, we were talking about this last night The times when”

“And so it started off with the relationship stuff, and then it obviously shoots off in all these other different directions. And even just having someone to go in and dump on and just like brain vomit, who's only there to help you out, help you sort things out, the world would be a completely different place if everyone had that, had a safe out. Yeah, to just unload.”

“She's 80. And it's like all these life coaches running around who are like 25. It's like, the fuck do you know? You don't know anything. So having a therapist who where I can bring up anything and she's like, yep. Been there. Right, right. That's huge. Yeah.”

“That's a blind spot to me, and I don't know what I'm doing. I need to figure this out. That was the specific reason why I started going. And I found my therapist through a really close friend of mine who is a therapist, and we obviously can't work together because she's a close friend of mine. So she was like, you should see this person. She's incredible. And working with a therapist, having a good relationship with someone where you can really trust them and you care about each other and it clicks. That is unbelievably important. There are so many bad drum teachers out there and there are so many bad therapists out there and it can be extremely damaging to someone. So having a good therapist who you get along with and connect with and who's very competent, that's why I picked someone who was, I mean, we hit it off and it was obvious.”

“It's funny. I think to be good at anything, you need to have a touch of OCD Absolutely, you have to be detail oriented.

And like, you know, checking my studio door four times, make sure it's locked. I can't think of anything weirdly. Specific like that at the moment.”

“That's one of my favorite things to do with Burr is we sit down and talk about comedy and drumming and the massive amounts of overlap between the two. When we first started working together, he had basically a John Bonham Led Zeppelin, almost like a replica kit. It's like a huge Bonham fan. And everyone who plays drums is like a John Bonham fan. He's incredible. And he's a very specific sound. So he got this early 70s, Green Sparkle Ludwig kit. Giant 26 inch bass drum, like it's a whole thing, it's a very specific thing And we're working together, and we're talking about identity and what he wants to say and who he wants to be and getting his posture together And I was like, dude, you wouldn't walk out on stage and start yelling like Sam Kennison.”

“Exactly. And that's the problem, but that's part of the instrument. What I was going to say earlier when we were talking about the being able to To do many different, wear many different hats, do many different things, be deliberate about what you're doing. When I was talking to a friend about this, and he was like, Yeah, if your identity is largely based on what you do for a living, whatever it is, what if you wake up one day and you don't want to do that thing? And then you're like, who am I And that's a”

“What is that? How it's like basically like throat control, like how you produce air pressure. And that takes a while. You start learning clarinetters, you're squawking all over the place and develop that control. And you can't just sit down and just make a sound. There's a certain amount of gestation with it.”

“Or my hip is just over my back because they're doing everything inefficiently or incorrectly. And then also they get stuck as far as the vocabulary goes because they can't express themselves properly because they're in their own way. So, a lot of it is inherently part of the instrument. Itself. And I always use violin as an example. Like, you have to sit there for six months just getting your intonation happening or saxophone, you have to get your ambouchure together.”

“So, like, you think of these dudes around, you know, late 1800s, 1900s Taking disparate concert percussion instruments, like a bass drum by itself and a snare drum. And then we had to make a pedal to use the bass drum. And the hi hats were originally called low boys because they were on the floor and you only played them with your foot. So it's evolved in this really bizarre strange way. So it's physically strange. But also the bar is incredibly low in terms of entry. So it's very easy to play drums in the beginning. You sit down and go, And they're like, oh, I can play drums. I can do this. I can play along to ACDC and Michael Jackson. And this is great. And so no one thinks about how anything functions because they can already do it. And then they go on tour, and then 10 years later, they're like, Oh, my arms are destroyed.”

“Yeah Well, that's what I was saying earlier, it's inherently an issue of the drum set as an instrument in that the way the drum set was formed initially around the turn of the century was called a trap kit because it was short for contraption.”

“I think probably I'm very as long as someone is putting the work in, I'm very patient with people because seeing the light flash in their eyes when something clicks is one of the greatest feelings imaginable. And also, probably for him, I think being patient with himself, like taking the time to really hone in on certain things and not having to rush through things and just being like, I'm going to put the work in and I'm going to take the time so all this stuff happens the way it should happen. And you have to be patient with that or else it's never going to manifest itself.”

There's something to be said for that. Because it's still like a holy special thing. And that's something that I struggle with with art.

“Well, the industry has changed so much in the past ten or fifteen years just the way it's structured as a business model alone makes you question things. Like is this even a working model anymore? That changes on a daily basis. So just thinking about things monetarily, sometimes even makes sense. Like for me, like Am I going to go out on tour and be away from home and make X amount of money when I can just stay home and sleep in my own bed and make X amount of money teaching? That kind of a thing. And then it's like, well, do I want to teach you? Do I want to play music? And then it's like the grass is always greener. So that stuff's constantly swirling around in my head.”
