Author: Bart Vanderzee January 2, 2024 Duration: 1:14:53
Henrique has had a prolific drumming career as a performer, Berklee professor, author, studio musician, clinician, and business owner. In this episode, he teaches us a clear path to create a successful and fulfilling career as working drummers through multiple different outlets. We cover topics such as do you need to read to be a pro drummer? What happens if you don't want to be a teacher? How important is social media to your career? - and much more. Henrique really drives home the importance of working harder than every other drummer because competition is higher than ever, but it is very possible to make a great living as a drummer. The information that Henrique presents here can really help aspiring drummers make smart decisions in their careers and skip making mistakes that cost them time and money. He is a great drummer and a very good guy who is a teacher at heart! Henrique runs The Drum Set Coach Academy where he coaches drummers how to lay out a clear path to success and keep them accountable and focused along the way.
