Send me the book and we will do it!\u201d. Upon receiving it, I began reading and put together my own EPM (Effective Practicing for Musicians) system using the book and its sets of questions to determine where I wanted my drumming to go and what needed to be addressed. Since then, I have never been so happy and determined in my drumming life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book calibrates you and fills you up with momentum to tackle the lessons, whether online or in person, with more focus and purpose. Whenever I look for lessons on Drumeo, I now know exactly what I am looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I consider this book an essential resource for drummers who are committed to becoming the musician they wish to be. <a href=\"https:\/\/bennygrebshop.bigcartel.com\/product\/effective-practicing-for-musicians-book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>You can get it right here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In this episode:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will hear about&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why we must separate playing from practicing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benny\u2019s ratio between time spent practicing versus playing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How we should treat ourselves during practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A story from the book outlining how small changes applied consistently over time can create an enormous impact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Whale Method<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Feel Good Factor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What you should practice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why should you listen?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to become better at your instrument?
