From client Daniel Glass: Lots of people are of the opinion that drummers must be crazy to carry all that gear. How many of us have been approached by some jerk at the end of a gig, when we’re breaking down or loading out, who smugly says “Boy, I bet you wish you’d picked up the flute, huh?”
Most of us suffer these kind of comments for our entire playing career. But what people don’t understand is this: When you are as passionate about your craft as drummers are, the decision to play is not based in logic. The “rules” that apply in the regular world simply do not apply in ours. The strength to defy the “practical” approach is what ultimately allows us to succeed in living inspired and fulfilling lives! While many who forego their dreams in the name of “security” are filled with regret at the end of the day.
