Studio Drummer – The Morphing Continues!

*YET WORK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY KEEPS MORPHING AND INTEGRATING INTO DIFFERENT AREAS AND DIFFERENT STYLES.*

 

For example we’ve seen a fundamental change in the industry with the advent of the internet.  The digital download issue has drastically affected all the variants work in the music industry.  It’s killed some areas and yet opened up new avenues in others. 

 

Also the explosion of the home computer based studio more than any other single technological advance is responsible for the obliteration of an entire strata of traditional recording studios.  These days nothing but the large and extravagant recording studios survive in a general sense.  So what has that done?

 

*IT HAS MORPHED THE WORK AND PUSHED IT INTO DIFFERENT VICINITIES.*

 

The need and demand is still there for studio drumming or studio performances from all players in general.  This happening just changed the location and the method of where the work is and how the playing takes place.

 

With something as primal as music I believe that:

 

*THE ART FORM AND THE INDUSTRY WILL ALWAYS REINVENT ITSELF.*

 

Your job is to find your market, your unique angle and re-invention!

It’s a given that it will constantly morph so don’t be a follower.  Be a leader and a trendsetter!  Utilize existing technology to create work for yourself and even better think ahead!  Be willing to work for free when it comes to gaining valuable experience in regards to studio playing!

Experience is not only the best teacher regarding studio playing.  It is a prerequisite for getting hired to do sessions.  So you have to garner studio experience.  The best way to do this is to offer your services for free at the beginning.

 

*HOW CAN YOU CREATE NEW AVENUES FOR YOUR ABILITIES?*

 

 

I encourage you as you read on to explore your own avenues.  Simultaneously, think creatively as you read this book about how you can apply these skills and methods.
