A Drummer's Guide To...

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject ********************** Join me as I geek out about routines and how it's made me the person that I am today for all the good and all the bad!   I also share how I'm trying to maximise my routines as in these crazy times to give me focus, purpose and hopefully keep me sane (although you wouldn't think it looking at me! Ha!)   PS If you wanna read a great book on routines, check out John Lamerton's Routine Machine: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Routine-Machine-successful-guarantee-themselves/dp/191060027X

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject **********************   Join me in this episode as I talk about one of my favourite books - Malcolm Gladwell's, Outliers, which talks about the 10,000 hours to master a skill.   I share with you the moment I was nearing this milestone but was nowhere near a master of the drums. Then, how I changed my trajectory to make sure that the next 10000 hours counted to my successful career.

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject ********************** Well, I bet you thought I'd never be talking about Cardi B's WAP, but here we are! It made me really think about my attitudes and reactions to certain things, how they've changed, why they've changed and why I'm so happy that's the case! I've officially gone from feeling very angry and upset, to taking lots of positive action, and it feels GREAT! Would recommend :-)

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject ********************** Join me this week as I talked about the Curse of perfection, and how it breeds overwhelm, anxiety, and complete inactivity! So useless! I share with you exactly how I stop myself from being perfect, and as you can see I'm doing a great job! :-D Don't be perfect, it means you can't grow any more, and growth is so much more important and INTERESTING! Hope this helps you take that next step from going from a scared perfectionist, to brave action taker! Sending you lots of love x

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject ********************** In this episode, I wanted to address the idea of having a choice on what you can focus on in this life and how to get through tough times especially in relation to the current global pandemic. I share how I literally employed the process of wearing blinkers when it matters (to me), affording me the energy and motivation to do the things that truly matter to me - like being here for you. Sending you lots of love Em x

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject **********************   Join me as I geek out about marginal gains, a concept about taking the parts of you as a musician, or even as a person that you'd like to improve, breaking them down into tiny pieces and then just focusing on getting 1% better at each.   In theory, upon putting all those 1% better parts back together you will become an absolute monster! This is something I've been learning about on my daily walks from a book called Routine Machine by John Lamerton I love it! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Routine-Machine-successful-guarantee-themselves/dp/191060027X

Subscribe so you don't miss out on a subject ********************** Join me in this week's episode as I talk about what to do for the next six months upon the news that we are not going to be moving much further forward especially in the live music sector where most of us were earning our living up until March 2020.   I share what I'm doing to keep as sane, inspired and as hopeful as possible in this unprecedented time. I share what my focuses are, and I hope I can give you some ideas, and motivation to get through the next period we're about to endure.   Just remember, we're creatives, we will pivot and adapt, and at the very least, I'm here with you, and always reach out if you're struggling. You're not alone xxx

This is what I do to learn any music for any job, and have done for over 10 years! Let's share this so we can all be the best version of ourselves, especially when it comes to music, songs and creativity! ••••••••••••••••• Subscribe to this podcast to not miss an episode :-)

It feels like there might be a small light at the end of this pandemic tunnel, but there is also a lot of anxiety for many musicians, so here is my 2 cents on the subject and what I'm concentrating on to work through it :-)  Love to you ••••••••••••••••• Subscribe to this podcast to not miss an episode :-) 

It's not sexy, it's not that clever, it's very simple, but it can be hard... this is the thing, if done with consistency will get you productive beyond belief, and have people asking 'how in the world do you do so much?!' - something that I'm constantly asked!

Watch my free workshop to find out the first steps to take, how to get clients, and what you should be charging: https://www.RemoteRecordingBusiness.com/workshop ************************************ This is how I built my remote recording profile at EmilyDrums.com from scratch... I went from having no clients to now having over a thousand on my books, and it all started with my first portfolio track! All it involved was me, my DAW and my recording setup! So whether you're a drummer, bassist, guitarist or vocalist, and you're working with Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton, or even GarageBand, this is for you!

Want to start offering remote recording services? Watch my free workshop to find out the first steps to take, how to get clients, and what you should be charging: https://www.RemoteRecordingBusiness.com/workshop ************************* In this epsiode, I'll be going over what you absolutely need to get started recording for musicians and artists remotely! Now, this isn't just for drummers, so don't switch off if you're wanting to record guitar, keys, marimba, or anything else! I opened the online doors to EmilyDrums.com in 2016, and when I started out, I barely had any knowledge of how a studio even worked, let alone how to run a business with clients! But now, I've got a diary full of wonderful clients who keep coming back to get me to record on their songs. So let me share with you my bare essentials you'll need to start recording remotely. An interface This is where you'll be plugging your microphones into, to record into your DAW. The number of inputs will depend on your instrument, for instance, bassists really only need 1 direct input for their jack lead, whereas, for us drummers, we'll need more. I'd say start out with an interface with 8 inputs, aka 8 mics, that can be expanded later down the line via ADAT. This will keep the price down initially, with room to expand as you do. Also, make sure you can connect to your interface via the fastest port on your computer or laptop, so mine is a thunderbolt interface, but your quickest port might be USB-C, you lucky person you! Mics The mics you buy and how many once again will depend on your instrument. If you're a guitarist, like bass, you could just use a direct in, and amp simulators, but if you want to go old school, then a mic on your amp is fine. Us drummer, as with most things, it's a little more involved and expensive! So do as I did when I started, and buy a ‘drum mic pack' which will give you a great starting point and somewhere to build from. A typical mic pack will have mics for the kick, snare, 2 or 3 toms, and a couple of overheads. This is PERFECT to start with, just starting is the key. Gear It's not about having the best gear in the world, it's about making your gear sound as great as you can, and that can come from tuning, dampening, but most importantly, how you play your instrument. Practice not just getting a great sound in the room, but under mics too, as this is often very different to what you expect. Curiosity and experimentation The most underrated and lesser talked about thing that you absolutely need to start remote recording with people is a curiosity, and hunger for exploration. There is no ‘right' way to mic any instrument… there are some best practices which a quick Google search will throw up, but ‘right' and ‘good' is completely subjective. This is an art form, and we're all going for our own sounds… if you're after a dingy, low-fi sound, the make it the most killer version of that you can! If you want it to be super hi-fi, which as an aside, will probably cost you a bunch of money, then go for it! If you want to create something people have never heard before, then explore that… I think that's the key, explore, explore, explore, and make your sound… emphasis on your! As amazing as you possibly can. I hope you enjoy setting up your remote recording setup, and if you'd like to find out more about the business side of remote recording, then hit the link below for my free workshop, so I can share with you how to get clients, what you should be charging, and the one thing that you must do to not fall at the first hurdle.
