Drummers enter the chat 🤘🏻

[Shawn Lennie]

Hi everyone!

I've been looking at the syn gates school activity since it started but only decided to join yesterday after the hype of the nft launch! A little about myself, I am from Australia and have been playing percussion/drums for 16 years (started age 9), studied all the way through to my Bachelor Degree of Music which I completed in 2015. Since then I started to have some hearing issues and stopped playing shows/performing, but dedicated my time to teaching others. Since then I have grown my own music teaching business to have nearly 30 regular students a week and wanting to eventually open up my own music school. I figured what better way to share my knowledge than with a project from my favourite band/guitarist. I have also been playing guitar for many years and teach beginner, intermediate however my main teaching skills are in drumming. I have extensive knowledge in drumming techniques, styles, skills, as well as guitar and general music theory/songwriting. Whether that is all too much info for a thread I have no idea, but the devil is the detail right? Hoping I can help as much as I can and also learn more myself from this rad place!

Thanks!

If you are looking to collab or make a band let us know
I'm sure we can put together a synner band here with drums bass guitar and even vocals. Weve had a 4some of girls write and jam together (the zv birthday video for example great work girls). Itd be fun to have more of that.

Thanks I'm working on fills right now I watched a 7 Rock Fills for Beginners video from Drumeo, trying those out and the concept in general.
I don't know what to ask right now but it's nice to know that I can

Welcome Shawn!!! So sorry about the hearing problems, but really happy you were able to reinvent yourself and still make it in the music business! Can't wait to see your content
