How Dany's musical background helped him get started on drum kit.
What motivated him to learn independence and rudiments.
How being a musician wasn't an option as far as Dany's parents were concerned, which was OK!
Dany's experience learning from other drummers, including Claus Hessler, Jim Chapin and Sanford Moeller.
How to use social media to share your drumming and motivate yourself.
How and why Dany started teaching others.
How Dany began writing songs for his band.
The importance of your drumming serving the music, rather than yourself.
The power of recording yourself and listening or watching it back, to improve your playing.
