As musicians, and drummers in particular, we’re often conditioned to believe that the purchase of an instrument is the purchase of a sound. We’re led to a way of thinking that involves finding inspiration specifically from equipment. This isn’t inherently bad but it comes with some risks and some potentially negative side effects, not the least of which is the minimized push to experiment with what you have available to you ignorer to explore sound and potential means of affecting what you play. In this episode we’ll demonstrate an easy way to challenge some of these preconceived notions for the sake of fostering creativity and exploring our instrument.
