Support this show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddy I think we all deal with the feeling when it comes to drums that we have to be great at everything or else we simply aren't great.

Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddy   This was a TOUGH episode for us to do for many reasons. 1, we don't want it to become negative where we spend an hour bitching and moaning about people that we feel steal ideas, or dodge the hard work of creating their own ideas. 2, there isn't a SINGLE THING that Eddy or I have ever created on our own without outside in...
