- HI friends! This video is much deeper than what the title suggests. I used this title to get peoples attention. (Well anyway....i think we musicians kind of talk like this anyway haha. )
The real things we are talking about here are issues every one of us face. Things that REAL life as an artist brings us. Why no one talks about this is a mystery. But I am tired of an online scene that brushes over essential things like this that absolutely need to be talked about. We all need encouragement. We all need good people on our side and we all need friends in the music scene. I hope I can cover some of those things for you my dear friends here on the channel! All the best!

First, I’ve got all the equipment I would ever need. I’ve got all the time in the world to practice when I want. I’ve got all the Drum books, Modern Drummer Magazines and all the best Instructional videos. But, all those things are completely worthless if your dealing with Anxiety and Depression like I do. Anxiety and depression as of recently has been making it very difficult if not impossible to practice and stay motivated. Some times I can’t even look at my drums cause it just makes me sad. I just can’t seem to find the courage to start playing my drums again. And I know this is what I’m suppose to do. I was born a drummer. I’m about to turn 47. All I’ve Ever known is music and the drums. I just finished watching your video and you’ve shared something I’ve been desperately been needing to hear for a long time. So thank you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, that if you’re going through any type of pain, use that pain. Use that pain and put it into the drums. Thanks Phil for your words of encouragement and hope. God bless you. 🙏👍🥁
Thank you for writing Cesar! It means a lot to me that you wrote and shared this situation. Trust me....YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I have seen this happen to cats all over the world. So if you can slowly get back in it....with the right reasons in your mind. Enjoying each simple moment, taking your time and developing that love again....You will be fine. All will be fine as long as you can play! Just try a little each day. Your passion can be reborn and maybe just maybe ...it will help you re invent your self. Many hugs bratha! Peace!
@@philmaturanodrums My Tai' Chi Gung teacher often says, "start now, go slow". For me just watching a great drummer play music inspires me 100%, live concerts are great to catch that spark of creativity that even a great CD or DVD can't do!
Same i always compare myself and analyze others and just see how i suck
This is a one of the best videos I’ve seen on this platform. I need you as my mentor
Thanks bro! You are always welcome on the site and i would to have you with us! www.philmaturano.com
This is a
great conversation Phil, your humble truth resonates... you see... keep it up!
Right on bratha! ;-)
This is very very inspirational!
Thank you Curtis! We all been through it hehe
Great video...and great person too 🖤
Grazie belloooooo :-)
How did I miss this. I just sent this to many great young college drum grads. Expressing the Commitment to Risk your life’s outcome is TRUTH. When I was in high school & I said I wanted to play drums, everyone thought it was cool. When I was in college and friends bragged to me about their new high paying jobs and why was I still living with my parents. When I left college, many friends asked why wasn’t I married and didn’t have a “real” job. I kept playing. When I became an adult, I briefly questioned my decision to continue playing drums but I was (& still am) hungry to learn and play more. When I started making financial strides, many of those “friends” who initially questioned my decision to play drums were now divorced and in therapy . I eventually married someone who loved music. Our children play drums. My life is simple, play drums everyday, learn or improve something each day & Look for gems of truth like your video. Un Abrazo Brother. Al 🤘🏽😎
I dig Al! We all been through that! You are a drum warrior! You made it through!
@@philmaturanodrums , I’m watching your video with Roy McCurdy now. 🥁🔥🔥🔥
That's sounds like a dream life for me
Deep. I shared it with my drum students. 👍
Awesome Raphael!! :-)
Arturo Sandoval says a lot of the same things-commitment is everything.
Hi Jok! Yes I think most experienced players would encourage one in these ways. Logical :-) Thx for writing
Please tell us more about the spiritual journey!
Hi Dave! I have a video about that on the channel
Embrace simplicity. Be kind to your drumming self. Be humble. That piece of music is in your care for just a moment, then it's gone. Don't beat on it, do not try to bend it to your will by imposing yourself on it. Let it come to you. Your muse will love that.
Hey Phil, at the end I only counted 8 reasons why I suck. Is there a ninth? By the way, I love your content. Magnificent!
Thank you bro! Much appreciated!
This has come to me at the most perfect time
Hi friend! We all need encouragement once in a while. Thanks for writing in :-)
@@philmaturanodrumsLol! You are an incredible player man. I am so inspired by listening to what you do I’m going to subscribe to lessons through your website. I need mentorship
@@philmaturanodrums Man you are a great player. I am so inspired by your approach.
@@ikofire1 Awes9me brooo! I am happy you enjoyed this. Many greetings!
@@ikofire1 Hi Tony! I wrote to you! Drop me a an email :-)
My Tai' Chi Gung teacher once related that his Master Bo Yang told him, "Rasaji watch what the world does & do the opposite." Many times we have to do the opposite of what most of our contemporaries are doing in life & in drumming. It's OK to be different & follow your own path!
Yeah bratha John! It's almost a prerequisite these days right? Live to play! Greetings from South America!
@@philmaturanodrums Yes I agree Phil, you have to cut ties with negative people, let go of the past both positive & negative, and find that quiet place where you can find yourself & see what you can do, to become the person you were meant to be. Drummer for life!
Okay so about 10 minutes in you said that we shouldn’t do it for money. But what I want is to just make a living off of drumming. Music is the only thing I like. I hate school, I hate 9-5’s, and I hate other people. I just want to be able to make enough to live off of this.
Hello Thomas! Please feel free to contract me on Whatsapp. We can talk about it there. Believe it or not...I was like you in my younger days. Maybe
I can be of some use for you because of all i have been through. Many greetings!
P
@@philmaturanodrums I have never used WhatsApp before. Do I need some sort of contact information? an email address?
@@squamousthomas3267 a phone number. Do you have facebook?
@@philmaturanodrums I don’t have Facebook. I do have Instagram though.
@@squamousthomas3267 Search for me on IG
Now I know why I suck!😂
Hahahahahahaha Yeaahhh right!! LOL You crack me up!
#1 reason I suck at drums: I'm not a drummer :)
get on the kit my friend! Lets go!
@@philmaturanodrums Too busy with guitars and keyboards. And my voice, which is something you have to be born with. Come on by. I'd love to hear your comments. I'm a lame drummer, but I can do ghost notes :)
@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive hahaha right on :-)
@@philmaturanodrums Seriously, mate. Stop by my channel. Subscribe, or at least comment. I'm not a bad man, I'm just drawn that way. Help me get my thing going. Perhaps I can help you, as well. :)
