You should fail more often.
I know. I know.
Bold statement to start off the article.
But check this out…
Failing FAST and failing FORWARD is what makes you grow.
You see, if you fail it means that you tried to do something that you weren't ready for quite yet.
It means that you took a chance to be better than you were prior to trying and you made an effort improve yourself and your abilities.
Yes, failure can definitely be a rough experience.
But at the end of the day failure is the avenue that all of us go through to get better.
If you don't fail at things on a regular basis - you're not doing anything outside of your comfort zone.
And when you don't do things outside of your comfort zone, you don't grow and you don't get better.
So challenge yourself in your rudimental drumming this week.
Push yourself a little bit further than what you're comfortable with and be willing to fail.
Because when the next day rolls around you'll have another shot to try it again and you'll be much more likely to succeed. And if you want to challenge yourself, you should check out the first issue of Chop Out Challenge - a new monthly challenge that focuses on improving one aspect of your playing each month.
In this issue you'll learn three exercises and one lick that will help you improve the speed and agility of your rudimental drumming.
