Born and raised in New Orleans, he is a dedicated drummer, performer, and educator who is especially connected to the city, its culture, and its collaborative spirit. In the early ‘90s, Moore helped found the New Orleans-based essential funk band Galactic, which continues to amass a worldwide audience via recording and touring globally. Moore launched his solo career in 1998 and has nine records under his own name, with the most recent being "With You In Mind: The Songs of Allen Toussaint." Throughout his 25-year career, Moore has played and/or recorded with a diverse group of artists, including Maceo Parker, Joss Stone, Irma Thomas, Leo Nocentelli and George Porter (of the Meters), Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), Corrosion of Conformity, Donald Harrison Jr., Nicholas Payton, Trombone Shorty, Skerik, Charlie Hunter, Robert Walter, Will Bernard, Ivan Neville, Anders Osborne, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

He has released two books and three video projects. His book "Groove Alchemy" was picked by Modern Drummer as one of the top 25 instructional drum books of all time. To continue his passion for teaching and become more closely connected with his students, he recently launched his own online drum academy, StantonMooreDrumAcademy.com. On a personal note, my son, Skyler, was able to study drumset with Stanton while he was artist-in-residence at Louisiana State University. I encourage you to check out Stanton's music and schedule at stantonmoore.com.Thank you for listening!

We also do a deep dive into our different headspaces in various drumming contexts, including 1-1 lessons, drum camps, and live shows. We talk about the importance of structure and order in drum camps, allowing the camp to unfold naturally and creating an environment where campers can become their best version. We discuss the challenges of reading the room and balancing different personalities in a camp setting. The conversation then shifts to the headspace for shows, the difference between playing in front of other drummers, and the unique challenges of teaching in a one-to-one lesson. TakeawaysPractice is essential for drummers to improve their skills and overcome challenges.The Practice Project is a new initiative for patrons to hold each other accountable and make progress in their drumming.The headspace of a practicing drummer can be influenced by distractions and the need to prioritize different aspects of drumming.One-to-one drum lessons require teachers to balance honesty and encouragement while providing solutions to students' challenges.Teaching multiple students can be challenging, but experience and preparation can help teachers provide effective instruction.Drum camps offer a unique teaching experience that requires instructors to create a positive and engaging environment for a group of drummers. Creating structure and order in drum camps can provide a sense of stability and allow for flexibility when needed.Allowing the camp to unfold naturally and embracing the unknown can lead to a more authentic and meaningful experience for campers.Reading the room and adapting to different personalities is crucial in creating a positive and supportive environment in drum camps.The headspace for shows is often more relaxed and confident compared to the headspace for one-to-one lessons or camps.Understanding and navigating drummers' different goals and aspirations in a camp setting can be challenging but rewarding.Chapters00:00 Introduction and the Importance of Practice03:30 The Practice Project for Patrons10:25 The Head Space of a Practicing Drummer16:56 The Head Space of a One-to-One Drum Lesson26:06 The Head Space of Teaching Multiple Students31:56 The Head Space of a Drum Camp35:23 Headspace for Drum Camps36:12 Allowing the Camp to Unfold37:14 Creating the Best Version of Themselves37:37 Structure and Order39:15 Reading the Room40:20 Balancing Different Personalities41:00 Transitioning from Camps to Shows42:23 Headspace for Shows43:20 Playing in Front of Other Drummers45:14 Different Headspace for Shows, Lessons, and Camps46:08 Dealing with Potential Issues in Shows48:00 Navigating Different Drummer Goals in Camps49:48 Seriousness in Advanced Drummers51:03 Headspace for YouTube Videos52:16 Appreciation for Listener Support53:01 Closing RemarksSupport the show
