So lately I have been going to jazz jams in the city I live in. It's hosted by the local jazz-college and most of the people there study jazz or have studied jazz.
Just watching all those young cats play incredible things was a real humbling experience for me and it inspired me to practice more and also gave me many good ideas. I also jammed on 3 songs last time, and I was really nervous but I made it through. Though I'm not a jazz drummer per se, it was also was a very good experience for me. Just going up from the crowd to play songs I've never or rarely heard, with people I've never played with before.
So if any of you are in a drumming rut, you should head out to some local jams and watch even play. It helped for me.
Anyone else had similar experiences?
