The Drum Panel: Mental Health > Paradiddles, Signature Sticks and Dream Lessons

Episode 11 of The Drum Panel

Welcome to The Drum Panel—a show where a rotating group of professional drummers engages in roundtable discussions pertaining to all things DRUM.

For today's panel, we have my co-host Eric Urrea and special guest, Britt Bowman (Demi Lovato, KiNG Mala, Meg Myers, Royal and the Serpent, Toni Cornell).

Today we discuss:

• What’s the one piece of gear you’ve held onto the longest—and why?
• Are signature drumsticks a genuine advantage or just a marketing ploy?
• If you only had one hour per week to practice, how would you maximize your progress?
• Is it more beneficial for your creativity to immerse yourself in one album for a full week or explore a new record every day?
• Why every drummer needs a creative outlet outside of their career.
• How mental health directly impacts your drumming—and what to do about it.
