my mom took up drumming at the age of 55 (about 10 years ago) and has now progressed to playing with a huge professional jazz band! she had no musical experience. I'm sending this to her. THANK YOU TIM

[@siamgangte2826]

WOW DUDE! Very Impressive👍 Could you share some clips of their performance? Thanks

[@johnnyxmusic]

Awesome! ❤❤❤

[@denniszenanywhere]

Any tips from her on how to stay energized or fit for drumming? I watch drummers and I feel like it requires lots of energy and I tend to have low energy for drum playing.

[@dallaradrums]

@@denniszenanywherethe secret is to practice for efficient technique. It doesn’t require that much energy if you’re doing it effortlessly.

[@Hebsparks]

That’s such a fantastic and wholesome thing to read !!! How blessed/lucky/take your pick you are to have such an inspirational mom!!

[@nick_czarny]

Whoever gave you the idea to release this on KZbin is a bloody genius. I had no idea this series existed and after watching this I'm an instant fan. Thank you sir 🙏🏼

[@nicholaskirk1356]

That's because it's not a regular series 🙂. Search Tim Ferriss Experiment for another user's playlist that contains 14 videos - Emilio Lanza to be precise.

[@MikedUp-Podcast]

As a drummer who started playing when I was about 10 years old (37 now)...your development in a short time period and willingness to learn and put in the work was incredible. Seeing you and Foreigner having a blast together on stage was AWESOME! Cheers brother. Great message!

[@leopabe]

Playing Guitar Hero with Stewart Copeland is a peak moment in life!

[@JabYoFace]

Man I couldn’t imagine the anxiety you must’ve felt but can see how that motivated you to do something you thought impossible. Good on ya, Tim.

[@gaspardbos]

I've been playing guitar in bands for 23 years, have sat behind a drum kit for fun every now and then, but have never learned as much as Tim just showed. Respect. I will take this as an example.

[@fearlessandfar]

Been waiting years for this 🤘🏻

[@PetterLausund]

10 years!

[@360.Tapestry]

"play the song, don't play the drums" is legitimately the best advice you could give a noobie.... don't get overwhelmed by all the countless branches there are to music. just learn the necessary parts for that particular piece and then build from there with other songs

[@AceRazor]

Utterly amazing. I've been a drummer for about 20+ years, and it was fantastic seeing you go through this experience. Great job spreading positive mental attitude and showing that truly all things are possible.

[@316Drums]

Wow, that was amazing! I've been playing drums at my church for over 20 years in front of up to 500 people at a time and still get nervous (I don't want to make any mistakes)! You've inspired me to continue working on my ability to relax and have fun with it. Great job!

[@madhatter2744]

YES YES YES!!! Thank you so much Tim! Hope we can get access to the extended version of these eps as well!!!

[@andrewmagic1111]

This is incredible. The other week I was wondering about this TV show and where it'd gone; couldn't find it on the web! Here it comes! Thank you Tim!

[@leoehgartner]

Amazing Tim!!! You have done three important things up to the detail from your teachers tips and advice. You have played those solid grooves (specially those floor toms, Chris F.), you managed and conquered stage's fear (facing public performance Adam T. ) and also going through mistakes but kept playing (even if you and the band noticed but you were absolutely focused, Steward C.) all those three are the most valuable skills to do, apart of course of spending hours learning, practicing and crafting drumming. No many people who learn drums for years can do all those three together and in one week! A Huge well done! From another drummer

[@lesliecancel7852]

This was so fun and I love the level of support Tim got from the band. Good job!

[@jacquesdutoitpvt]

Well done Tim - you can be super proud. That took balls of steel a lot of commitment not to chicken out at the last minute. Solid performance! Looking forward to the next episodes 🎉

[@FilGelabert]

Dude I loved this! Wish Tim did more stuff like this, it's so refreshing seeing him go through pressure. Super fun watch Timbo

[@cynthia_g_]

I can't process how great this was. Going from Zero to Rock Show in 5 days? That's mental... and you crushed it! Truly inspirational.

[@tommys4904]

Thank you for uploading this Tim! I could not help but smile along with you during the final performance, and it was great to see how welcoming and accommodating the band were after they piled on the pressure when you first met!

[@garrettclagett4743]

Great job Tim! I have been playing drums for 28 years and I still get nerves before performing. Thanks for sharing the scariest part of the journey: your first show.

[@droneswasabi]

Amaaaazing vid!...Stewart Copeland is the uncle you've always dreamed of having Vibes ON!!!

[@GhostFacedrummer]

This was great Tim! I’ve been drumming for over 10 years and posted my journey online🤘

[@HoustonObserver]

Cool experiment. I'm sure this will inspire a lot of future drummers. As a fellow drummer, I advise you to take your time, FEEL the groove, and wear ear protection.

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

Man I wish I had taken that ear protection advice to heart when I was younger. I am lucky to have the hearing I have.

[@janeenmontgomery6289]

Tim, you are fearless! Absolutely love this. Talk about putting your ego on the line.

[@beatsfromthecore5990]

Brovo Tim!!! Fantastic job!!! I own a Drum School in a small town in northern California called Beats From The Core, downtown Redding California. No other instruments just Drums. We signed up half the town for drum lessons, and we have people of all ages playing shows jammin gigs and playing with friends. It’s quite a sight to see. Drumming sure does bring people together. Glad you’re part of it.

[@JCImageInc.]

Killer show bro-cephus, very inspirational! Right off the bat, you go right to Stewart, thought that was funny. Good job dude, thank you for uploading your series here, you are the man!!

[@KafkasKumpel]

I wonder... how many subs do you have on this newsletter by now? I remember you promoting it since a decade? Just courisous

[@TheYonathanAynom]

I'm a huge fan. I've bought a lot of stuff including this series when it first came out. BUT, I think I remember hearing you say that you played drum in college in one of your podcast episodes.

[@DavidHelfrich-oi5ik]

Great Episode! Looking forward to watching more!

[@andrewfranklin9034]

Thank you for making these free! Now the follow up drumming episode…..SLAYER🔥🤘🏼🔥

[@Fisherdrumming]

Tim, as a pro drummer / educator I applaud you! This was no small feat! I hope you’ve encouraged many people to learn the drums and try something that gets them out of their comfort zone! I need to see the rest of the footage like you said. 👊🏼👏🏼

[@lauriemrogers]

That was a lot of fun to watch! Your smile was electric. Thank you for all that you do and share, encouraging us to be better, kinder humans and demonstrating that dreams are possible with work and great mentors. I bought a steel drum and have no musical talent whatsoever! Now, I believe I can do it. Thank you Tim.

[@SudipBishwakarma]

Definitely a nerve-racking feeling Tim, but the way you pushed yourself to achieve your goal no matter what, and limited your scope to weed out the fills to focus on your strength is admirable. Thanks for inspiring us!

[@wendybethlivingblueprint]

So amazing! The walls in your brain that you continually plow through to overcome, learn, and reach your potential is inspiring! Thank you!

[@graymccarthy685]

As a drummer, I loved this - he did it with a smile ! Learning to read score music was a blind initial turn, play with your ear and your heart.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, I’m a drummer & even though I understand what everything represents when I look at sheet music (for drums), I can’t read music & it would take me well over a week of constant practice to be able to read along while I’m drumming & likely many months before I could be comfortable letting it guide me through a song. It’s definitely not the route I would take if I had to teach someone to play drums in a week.

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

I read sheet music on other instruments but I just see very little reason to on drums. I've been playing for 25 years and it's honestly never come up for me personally

[@7000EastAve]

Thank you for posting these and sharing them with all of us!

[@linaD08]

Amazing!!! Teary eyed watching your accomplished face at the end of the song. When I first saw Karen Carpenter playing the drums I instantly knew I needed to play them too. Since I was only 16 and ready for college my mom said that I would need to pick a sensible profession… so I became an accountant…. Never ever learned to play the drums… and as a senior now who knows if I ever will…. Thank you Tim for letting me live vicariously through you.

[@Narsufin]

Stewart Copeland and Foreigner. Legends. Really enjoyed this.

[@carolspencer6915]

Hi Tim Thankyou for sharing your drumming experience and more. Reminder of a wee terrifying venture I partook in last summer, with a bunch of fantastic high school football playing girls. Was an amazing experience and adrenalin filled rush pre and post event. Here's to more of the same and different in 2024. Truly grateful for your wisdom here, over passing few years. 😀 💜

[@jonathanharned1706]

Drummer of maybe 17 years here- it's so interesting to see how your mind approaches with such intentionality the things that I don't ever consider anymore and really gives a lot of credit to the nuance of drumming and how truly complex it can be. You did fantastic and this was really great to watch!

[@tiscerano]

Bless you for releasing this Tim!!! There are so many pieces of gold in these episodes. I hope you receive triple the value you've brought to the world!

[@Pickupjazz]

Tim’s got rhythm! Tips for anyone learning a musical instrument: 1) reading music is not necessary, in fact learning by ear is faster and ultimately result in you being more musical. 2) most of us don’t have time to practice so intensely. Check out the book atomic habits and apply the 1% rule to you music practice. 3) thinking about rhythm is counterproductive - try dancing and feeling it, then what you play is an extension of your internal pulse. @tim, if you ever want to learn guitar we’ve got you. 🤘

[@mister.wizard]

Tim, you are so freak-in lucky!!!! Stewart Copeland whose drumming I adore and admire so much (had a big grin on my face whenever he was in this video with you). Foreigner, a band that was one of my favorites growing up. I took up drums a few years ago (School of Rock baby) in my late 60's never played a musical instrument in my life (drums always a dream). Now just recently started a band just for fun to learn songs and hopefully not be embarrassed and play at a local venue, learn some more songs and do it again. But you got to do it for a week on the biggest scale ever (I'm so jealous!). I am sure it will be one of the best experiences you will have had. I am glad the KZbin algorithm lead me to your video. I am a fan and look forward to seeing what else you get to do that is on my bucket list!

[@learnitfromwilliam]

Tim, that was BADASS! I'm your age and always loved the drums starting as a little kid. Till this day, I still loves drums but never learned. Great video for inspiration. Thks for sharing.

[@freezerburn6454]

YES!!! I've been wanting to watch them for such a long time!!!

[@RippleRhythm1]

This is exactly what I needed to see today! A month ago, after 20 years of teaching freestyle hand drumming, I started a live drum jazz funk dance party band a month ago. We debut in a month at one of the coolest music venues in Toronto, and you insights are gonna help me optimize my time and energy! It's the perfect balance of useable information and delightful entertainment. Thanks Tim! and please continue drumming!

[@humminahummina]

Drum jazz funk dance party band?!? Name please!!!!!

[@RippleRhythm1]

@@humminahummina Thanks for asking! Will Drum For Dancers (WD4D Collective), our first show is Feb. 7th at Drom in Toronto, Canada. It'll be filmed so there'll be clips!

[@SineEyed]

@@RippleRhythm1 that sounds awesome--I can't help but feel excited for you! If you're at all inclined to consider the words of random nobodies on the internet, then consider this: I can imagine the myriad million things which might cause stress or anxiety as you get ready for and perform your first show with the new band. You gotta shrug all that off. Whatever role you play in the logistics of making that gig happen, fulfill your obligations as best you can, and don't even bother yourself to think about all the rest of the stuff which isn't your responsibility. Let it all go so that you can be in the moment and actually enjoy yourself. I've never been to a live drum jazz funk dance party band performance before, but I think it's a safe bet to say it's a fun time--for the audience, but probably even more so for the performers. Making music with others can be an absolutely magical experience. No single word could hope to describe the way it feels; "magic" might be a good start though. And given the Dr Funkenstein hodgepodge of genres you've patched together and brought to life, I think another safe bet would be to say that _fun_ is an essential component of the music. I'm not wrong on that, right? With all that said (and with your forgiveness of my digression) we come to the one point I'd most like you to consider--the most important thing for you to do at your upcoming show, is _have fun._ No matter what happens, have fun. If something goes wrong - and we're talking about a live gig here, so, some sudden technical issue popping up should probably _expected_ to happen - whatever it is, don't sweat it. If someone forgets their part, or flubs their fill, forget aboubt it. Or better yet, have fun with it--improvise around it, incorporate it into the show. If the audience even notices what happened, seeing that it didn't even break the band's stride will only leave them more impressed. Having fun = #1 ✌😋

[@RippleRhythm1]

@@SineEyed THANK YOU for your wonderful wise words of encouragement! I'm already 100% on board with everything you said. I started too controlling wanting the structure to be too rigid, too safe, but I realized I have to trust the musicians, the audience and the moment to have so much material to play off of, my only job is to be present and ENJOY it. My role as the "frontman", aside from sculpting the improv, is to engage playfully with the audience, block party style, call and response, sing a longs, dance offs, etc. and make the concert a real act of co-creation and community. We've got a videographer coming to shoot the concert, so I'll be sure to leave a link here once it's up and you can how it all shook out! Thanks again! All the beats!

[@SineEyed]

@@RippleRhythm1 awesome--sounds to me like you got this... _in the pocket_ one might even say lol 😜 I'd love to check out the video once it's available, absolutely. So please do drop a link when you can. Be sure to tag me so that I get a notification. And knock 'em dead at the show!.. 🤘😎

[@colossalsteve]

I’m so excited for this! I loved making music as a teenager, I love how Tim deconstructs things. So excited to see both together!

[@Just_Samson]

Mad props to Tim and super stoked seeing ZPZ behind this. So great

[@ClayEdwards]

Thanks so much for putting this on KZbin! I’d purchased this series years ago via iTunes and can’t access them anymore. Please upload the others as well.

[@glovskc]

OMG, that was amazing Tim! Loved when the lead singer stood on your drums and you didn't even flinch. Bravo!

[@jasonbollman]

So glad you are sharing with us Tim! Love these shows can wait to watch them all over again! Such an inspiration!

[@greenambles]

My Uncle Phil gave me his drum kit when I ten years old. It changed my life. I’ve since played in many bands and taught many people how to also play. As someone that’s followed you since you brought out the four hour work week this was especially resonant (pun intended!) and enjoyable. It shows not only what can be achieved with dedication, a clear progress structure and good tuition but also confirms the necessity of the 10,000 hours rule! Looking forward to the rest in the series! 🤘🏼👍🏼✊🏼

[@skotski]

Tim, I was skeptical that this would be a worthwhile experiment, but I love it. Not just interesting, but so well executed.

[@drummergetsthegig]

I remember when this episode first dropped. You couldn't ask for a better mentor than Stewart Copeland. And getting to double drum live with Foreigner is not a bad first gig!

[@bravostrong_]

I was excited to see this on 5 bullet Friday !! Is Tim Ferris a Polymath??? I wanted to add; I never knew I could find friends out in the internet until I started listening to your podcast, you have been a companion on many long road trips, house cleaning days, and long walks. Thank You Tim, all the best to you and yours Regards from Texas, BRAVO

[@MagnumDB]

You did an incredible job, explaining the initial confusion and doubt, and then growing confidence… And then the fear and confidence starting to crumble for that first gig. I am a drummer and went through all of the exact same emotions. When I had my first live gig at school, everything I had learned started to become a mishmash once I was about to go on stage. Like everything I learned had been picked up into a tornado and was spinning around me; I could see some of the things I needed to do, but they were still whipping around me. And during the actual performance, it took me a second to settle into just the basic rhythm, but my mind couldn’t help looking ahead to the little bit of flare, and fill that I would have to do in between, and it was almost like bracing for a car crash as the moment came to perform the fill. As loose as I was getting performing the basic rhythm, I would definitely tense and clench up. And while my mind could start to go in a little bit of an auto pilot mode for the basic rhythm, everything came into the front of my mind when it was time for the fill, which is almost like data overload, and I would stumble a bit on that fill. But I would return to the regular rhythm and start to feel better again, although I was quite conscious and embarrassed about how I stumbled on the fill which made me more nervous for when I would have to do it again in the song. I would mess up again, but not as much. And it just took more time playing this song alone for it to all become second nature. And it took performing live more often to get less nervous about playing that song in front of people These days, it all really does feel like second nature. In a way it feels like my mind can sit back and enjoy having my body be its own personal drummer. That’s how much it feels like second nature. Like my mind is so relaxed, so “not thinking about it“, it feels so much like my body is doing it automatically that it does feel like I’m just sitting back and enjoying what my arms and feet are doing. And realizing you can get into auto pilot mode, that easy, certainly adds confidence, and dare I say, even a sense of boredness to wear your mind actually gets hungry too do new things, all of a sudden the mind doesn’t want to be on auto pilot all the time, it wants to be challenged. And so I start learning more difficult things to do. More complex rhythms, or something like a blast beat which is just very physically demanding. I’m definitely at a point where a lot of things are on auto pilot, but there is still a level of drumming which is probably always going to be a challenge for me, but my mind enjoys the challenge.

[@miltonfreeway1529]

A great video. I’m a surgical trainee having a tough time on my current rotation, and this has just been the perfect pep talk

[@Meanstoend]

Stewart has one of best drum kits out there, that Tama kits is incredible, and here he has pinstripes with gaffers tape on them, gotta love him.

[@ericstarr7694]

Just amazing Tim, very inspirational. Love the fact that your willing to take the risk with a potential high degree of fail rate. Cant wait for the next episode!

[@ashish3354]

insanely insightful about the process of learning new things. some notes which i found most striking (parts in braces are my comments) - relax, get outside of your body (esp the head) - "if you're trying to learn something very very quickly in a compressed time frame you're going to experience extreme frustration, at predictable points, sometimes freaking out" (the key is to cope with it, not let it throw you off) - "learn the song, not the drums" (do the Thing, not learn all about it and then do it. "learning drums" is intractable. figure out the 20%)

[@helgijonsson3537]

Stewart Copeland is such a delight. He just has so much joy for everything he's doing, what a champ.

[@drewschenck3559]

"And I was able to get not completely laughed off stage" LOL - Dude you were pretty dam good. I am so glad you are dropping these shows on KZbin - I have never seen them. That was great :)

[@kellybrickley313]

What a crazy feeling of joyful amazement watching your emotions, struggles, and victory. The positive encouragement from the mentors. What can you do in a week? wow. Looking forward to more. Congrats on your launch!!!

Tim, that was incredibly inspiring. Seeing that joy on your face when you were playing and getting into the song reminded me why I started playing almost thirty years ago. I never played with a famous rock band, but seeing this video reminded me that is not the point at all. I hope you really enjoyed yourself and that you keep playing. Thanks again and all the best on the rest of your experiments.

[@henrynordman]

I don't really now why but this one really put a big smile on my face. Maybe some kind of nostalgia about young Tim Ferriss (and me being even younger follower of his).

Drums are the most fun instrument I’ve ever learned…and I play a good many. Easy to learn the basics, but takes time to get a good groove and learn the nuances and what fits. Very entertaining to see you step up to the challenge.

[@spatialtests]

So cool to see this show up on my feed. Great job in only five days. Hope you decide to stick with it as it's a lifelong passion. Been playing off and on for a couple decades now. Awesome that you got to spend time with Stewart. He's a teachers teacher. The RockBand bit had me cracking up and he was right that the singer and guitarist was gonna mess with ya!

[@reese1ja]

Thanks @tim - I haven't seen your show prior, but this was really entertaining and pretty informative on how to learn better. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@TheArtofRetouching]

This is what I loved about Tim 18 years ago. I need more of this.

[@gaborszalok]

I started to learn drumming at the age of 36 some weeks ago. And after 3 weeks made my first drum cover. So I can confirm that it depends on motivation. Maybe that's what adults lack of, time and motivation. But motivation is more important. Everybody knows that feeling when you have the time, but no motivation. Like I was in the last 2-3 weeks. But we have to gain some motivation from friends, ourself or videos like this. This gave me some extra boost.

[@Paythepipertoplay]

I learned drums on one of Copelands Tama kits. So lucky to have that opportunity. Hes a legend. Well done Tim

Amazing.. I really applaud your willingness to go way outside your comfort zone as well as your ability to overcome the fear and get a great result. Subscribed!

[@dtegg91]

I've been playing the drums for 23 years as of this week. I've wondered what it would be like to have to learn all over again as it took me so long to get to the level I'm at. As Tim learned with Stewart, learning by playing with other people was always the quickest and best way for me to get better. Just like playing in a basketball game is going to teach you more than just shooting on your own. In that sense, I really don't think knowing how to read music is necessary, though it can be very useful. "Playing the song, not the drums" is truly good advice.

[@kushking420]

So awesome to have Stewart Copeland to help out

Epic. Congrats Tim! ...Stewart is genius / hilarious ... I'm a big fan of The Police, perhaps the most genius band ever... and he's such a cool funny guy. Foreigner is great, also super funny. Amazing video and experiment, I'm in my midlife crisis and I want to learn an instrument for the fun and also neuroplasticity / longevity.

I habe been following for a couple of years now, but I have never seen this show. Thanks for putting it up

At last! Could'nt get the series in the UK so this is going to be a real treat! Nice one Tim!

I love how Stewart gave him some gloves to play with.

This was so much fun to watch. Props to Foreigner for being game, too!
