Today's excellent question comes from Austin. He asks: "How often do you work on rudiments and for how long? Also, what's your typical practice routine? I feel like I haven't been improving as much as I should be and I know it's because I don't have a disciplined practice routine. I usually end up just jamming to music, practicing the church songs for that week, or playing grooves to a click. What would you recommend for a solid routine that will help me take my drumming to the next level?"Check out the answer and more at DanielHadaway.com/145

Is going to open jam sessions at small clubs and bars a good way ro network/meet other musicians? Or should we focus on getting better in the studio? Today's excellent question comes from Nicholas: "My biggest question is about playing out in open jam situations or at smaller bars/clubs. Is this a good way to get your foot in the door and meet people in the industry or is it more important to work with backing/click tracks and be more studio focused? I've had opportunities to meet and play with professional musicians in both types of settings and I understand that it's important to be able to do both, but my question is more from a networking perspective. Is doing one more important than the other?"Get the whole story and tons of free drumming content at DanielHadaway.com/141
