In Finding the Groove, drummers will find a collection of essays and stories which offer invaluable practical advice, from understanding the role of the drummer in the band to acquiring the musical tools needed to develop good "feel." Other musicians-and music educators-will find important topics covered as well, including strategies for practicing more effectively, overcoming mental and physical obstacles to progress, and the critical importance of attitude and intention. Artists-or really anyone who hones a practice or pursues a passion-will find life stories that illuminate: essays on finding your voice and staying true to your creative vision; surrounding yourself with peers who help you grow; and an exploration of the pitfalls of self-doubt that plague so many creative people, and get in the way of achieving the fullest expression of their artistic calling.
