ā If you have good eyes, you'll notice I had to re-record the ending audio and overlay it. It IS me playing, but courtesy of thin studio walls = bad audio, I don't own any of those fancy mics, and I'm working on a shoestring budget here, please forgive me trying to save money!
More info about the final take. Warning it's a bit of an essay: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q... Hopefully my final performance mistakes can be forgiven.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Iāve always been an obsessive learner. I enjoy the process of deconstructing a skill and figuring out what would be the best way to learn that particular skill very quickly. On this channel I document those challenges.
You can see my final drum performance towards the end of this video, but my favorite part of the whole challenge were actually the days I was practicing the drums. Donāt get me wrong, hitting my intended goal on Day 30 felt exhilarating, but I also believe that thereās an inherent thrill and value in taking the time to pursue a hobby, and working towards incremental improvements on a daily basis.
I hope this video sparks two thoughts:
1) Becoming good at a new skill isnāt as hard as most people think. When was the last time you spent a focused full hour per day (or even just 30 minutes) practicing something for 30 days? I believe most people would be surprised at what they accomplish.
2) We live in a world full of specialists and immediate gratification - if a task is not visibly applicable to oneās job or is tied to a direct monetary value, we often donāt pursue it. However, I'd like to make a case for the the love for learning and the pursuit of improvement itself. I hope this video inspires at least one person to take on their own learning challenge.
What have you always wanted to learn? Iād love to hear your thoughts in the comment sections below!

I went back and forth on this, and it was noted in the description box, but I probably shouldāve clarified through a comment earlier. More info about the circumstances of the final take is in the description box. TLDR it had to be re-recorded and the songās backtrack is present in the final clip.
On another note - to the fellow new drummers - donāt be discouraged if you donāt see results quickly. I sure hope youāre not discouraged by my accelerated progression. This was by far one of my best challenges, and I think I came in with some necessary subskills already. The world of drumming is amazing and the people in the community are awesome. From my personal experience, theyāre quick to help you from day 1. I do no not make a single cent from this video, and Iāve chosen to leave it up. For what itās worth, I hope all can forgive any of my performance mistakes, and appreciate the effort I put into this month. Hopefully this video ignites a spark in old drummers, and new drummers alike. Keep rockingš„š
