Drummers on Drumming The Drum Panel: Mental Health > Paradiddles, Signature Sticks and Dream Lessons
Episode 11 of The Drum Panel
Welcome to The Drum Panel—a show where a rotating group of professional drummers engages in roundtable discussions pertaining to all things DRUM.
For today's panel, we have my co-host Eric Urrea and special guest, Britt Bowman (Demi Lovato, KiNG Mala, Meg Myers, Royal and the Serpent, Toni Cornell).
Today we discuss:
- What’s the one piece of gear you’ve held onto the longest—and why?
- Are signature drumsticks a genuine advantage or just a marketing ploy?
- If you only had one hour per week to practice, how would you maximize your progress?
- Is it more beneficial for your creativity to immerse yourself in one album for a full week or explore a new record every day?
- Why every drummer needs a creative outlet outside of their career.
- How mental health directly impacts your drumming—and what to do about it.
