This video piece is an excerpt from my upcoming video on drumming, which I plan to release in the fall of 2011. Also mentioned is my book "Rudimental Technique & Analysis http://www.jeremylarochelle.com/book.
This sampling demonstrates some core elements that today’s top professionals require of their musicians, and as you will see being a good player is just a small piece of the pie. Many of today’s top bandleaders, producers and musicians have hundreds of choices in players for their projects. With so many great musicians to choose from they often thin out the herd by seeking out players that treat their music like the profession it is. Being on time, taking criticism well and dressing the part are all business decisions that can change playing music from a hobby into a full blown profession.
