David sits down for a chat with German drummer, and good friend, Dany Meyer. Grab a drink, settle down and listen in as we learn about...
What inspired Dany to start drumming.
How he learnt as a self-taught drummer: playing with a band; and overhearing his drum kit-playing neighbour, who also introduced him to Tower of Power and funk drumming.
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.
What Dany is working on to improve his drumming today.
