Staying Motivated

There have been times when it’s been difficult for me to stay motivated. My conversations with other musicians lead me to believe that I’m not the only one who has struggled with this. One thing that I have found, is that if I simply sit down behind the drum set and start my practice routine I’m happy. My hands will feel good after a nice warm-up and then I’ll start to work on some new things. The motivation may come during this part of the practice session — or not. Either way, I’m practicing and that’s a good thing. Not every practice session is inspired. However, most sessions are really enjoyable and end up bearing new fruit. Time to eat!
