So, I’ve always wanted to play an instrument. I tried the guitar around culinary school and the beginning of my career as a chef. It wasn’t the right time for me and it wasn’t the right instrument. But that was 15 years ago. For a while now I’ve been thinking that the drums are the right answer for me. But, I don’t want to be the guy who gets them, takes a few lessons and doesn’t practice. So, I’ve waited a long time to make sure that I’m ready to commit. I started three weeks ago and and practicing a few times a week and getting better… and having fun. One of the ways that I’m doing that is by keeping a super basic practice chart/calendar. It give me positive momentum. I’ve talked about using this sort of thing for working out in the past. But it works really well for anything that you want to be consistent about. Check out the pic. Doesn’t have to be fancy.
