For the last 14 years, I've been learning all there is to know about what it takes to make it as a pro musician, from playing tiny shows for two people with no pay to landing the gig of a lifetime, drumming at sold out shows of 20,000 people with my metal band I Prevail. Now, I'm sharing what I learned with you. This is brutally honest advice you NEED to hear if you want to go pro as a musician.

This video should be renamed "Brutally Honest Advice for broke Musicians in America that have an environment where they can work without limitations and a solid enough network of musicians with whom they can form tribute or cover bands with" but I know it wouldn't be as catchy and I also know that making money through KZbin is a big part of your game. You need the clicks, I get that. Just try not to feed on the desperate. This is not "easy I promise you". This varies insanely on where you live, who you know, what's your skill level and what kind of house do you have. Normal people live on 10k a year already and have bills to pay and mouths to feed monthly non stop. It's not like they can just quit and take a leap of faith. 3 students per week is as unrealistic for most people as gigging 3 times a month. You're not guaranteed those opportunities if you just put more time and effort into drumming. Also where I'm from, you can't make a normal living on 10k and there's no way you make 10k on that alone. Keep in mind that you're reality as true as it is to you it's just a drop in an ocean filled with a lot of other people's cultural, educational and economical status around the world.

Great video. I'm 55. My gigging days are over now. It was fun (and sometimes a grind). The number one lesson I learned over the years is: *the value of practice* . It's what separates a decent band from a great band. For individual practice, it's not enough to just 'learn the song'. That's step one. You have to play every part over-and-over-and-over - to the point where you can play it in your sleep....perfectly. For band practice, you have to log the hours in going over your set *together* . That's where the cohesion is going to happen. That's what makes an audience feel that they are experiencing something special. In my last band, we were relentless when it came to practice. It was common for us to see other local bands coming out to watch our band. The difference between their shows and ours: *preparation* . I love this video because you're being brutally honest about the fact that you will have to *work* with intention - and that it won't be easy ....but worth it. Slow-and-steady wins the race. Great job.

I have to deeply thank you Dave for being the one who finally make a video about how complicated Is this topic, most musicians who have the blessing of making a decent living (not even a millionare living) out of only music don't take the time of sharing their journey in a methodical way, most of the time Is just a story about holding in line and having a lucky strike, and your video shows that Is a journey that needs time and hardwork to grow and strengthen your mindset, the mindset that will help you solve the complicated but common problems of a person that Is willing to achive a dream. And by now, your personal testimony might not strengthen peoples mindset, but strengthen their hope. Great video.

For sure. I'm sure I'll get comfortable to share that info soon, but I want to make sure that it's communicated in a way that's inspiring to people rather than "flexing". It was uncomfortable enough sharing the income from 4 years ago that I did towards the end of this video! Here's what I'll say. If you have a passion for music more than anything else (bonus points if you hate your current job) then it's worth it. When I was making 17k a year from drumming, I was so happy. I was happy because I could survive (barely) from doing what I loved. But just like anything, you have to learn to grow it so it can be more sustainable. I believe that's possible for a lot of people. Yes it's a risk. Yes it takes a lot of time, effort, and sacrifice. But anything worth pursuing has those elements!

These are incredibly useful insights. This video has more valuable info than the college education I received (at a music-specific school no less.) Wish this vid was around 8 years ago lol Thanks!

it's the same as in every profession: create a portfolio, convince people that you are good at something and grab every opportunity, update your portfolio, repeat the steps, enhance your network, etc.

I never thought of reaching out to a lot of people at the same time but when i now think about it, it does make sense. I'll try it and if it works i'll tell you about it

Watching this video bums me out so much because I’m one of the musicians who gave into the notion that musicians don’t make enough money. I wanted to go to music school but gave it up and went to regular college. I still played gigs and that was fun, but eventually realized that I wouldn’t be able to progress into certain gigs because I didn’t read music. I also was plagued by imposter syndrome because I wanted to take on students but was afraid to because I didn’t have a music degree. The lesson is trust your gut and be willing to do what it takes to reach those goals.

I'd love to hear your take on drum techs. How is it having your own tech? Making a living from music without being the musician on stage kinda thing. Love all the great advice though Gabe!

I wished I had seen this video 20 years ago, so I wouldn't give up on my band, 20 years later, I am stuck in dead end job and only gig once every 3 months. Such a shame

Wow. Powerful video. And so well said. When you put it like that, it sounds so simple. Not easy just simple. Life has a way of making a lot of noise so you can’t see the clarity of what it is you actually need to do. That’s my issue anyway. I’m a very skilled and experienced drummer. But I find myself jaded by the lack of quality musicians to play with. Making videos is all well and good, but I need something to chew on to keep the fire alive. And for me that’s playing live. But without quality musicians to play with that doesn’t happen often enough. Any way thank you for your wonderful insight and congratulations on a well earned career.
