Our first episode dealt with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/larnell-lewis-interview-drumeo-gab-podcast-200\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Larnell ranking some facets of drumming<\/a> in order of their importance and I think we all learned a lot from that one. Today though, we are dealing with something very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens when life gets in the way of your drumming? It happens to all of us. Even the pros. Larnell has had his fair share of interruptions and having to deal with balancing his professional career and the rest of his life. He shares some invaluable wisdom that struck a chord with me &#8211; not just when I interviewed him, but also today as I write this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those drummers out there who feel guilty for not feeling like they are spending enough time behind the kit, this one&#8217;s for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In this episode:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will hear about&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reaching your greatness and the balancing act that comes along with that<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of your brand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How interruptions in life happen and how we can keep the flame lit for our passion of drumming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some final thoughts regarding today\u2019s episode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why you should listen:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When I connect with listeners they often say that they feel like they don\u2019t play enough drums or that they feel as though that they should be better than they are. It seems to me that their lifestyle has other plans in store for them. Family, work, events, other interests, emergencies, health, stress, and so forth. This episode will help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I share a lot of my own personal thoughts too because like most of you, I am not a pro drummer. I love the drums but I honestly never felt like they were going to be my all. I just never could justify that. But there is always a big ol\u2019 gushy spot in my heart for them and that will never die. I think y\u2019all might connect with what I had to say as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow Larnell:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/larnelllewismusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LarnellLewisMusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/larnelllewismusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow Drumeo Gab:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drumeogab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/drumeogabpodcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UClVNG62FcO82sRtmAzmoNXA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you feel guilty for not playing drums enough?
