❗ If you have good eyes, you'll notice I had to re-record the ending audio and overlay it. It IS me playing, but courtesy of thin studio walls = bad audio, I don't own any of those fancy mics, and I'm working on a shoestring budget here, please forgive me trying to save money!
More info about the final take. Warning it's a bit of an essay: docs.google.com/document/d/1q... Hopefully my final performance mistakes can be forgiven.

BEHIND THE SCENES
I’ve always been an obsessive learner. I enjoy the process of deconstructing a skill and figuring out what would be the best way to learn that particular skill very quickly. On this channel I document those challenges.
You can see my final drum performance towards the end of this video, but my favorite part of the whole challenge were actually the days I was practicing the drums. Don’t get me wrong, hitting my intended goal on Day 30 felt exhilarating, but I also believe that there’s an inherent thrill and value in taking the time to pursue a hobby, and working towards incremental improvements on a daily basis.
I hope this video sparks two thoughts:
1) Becoming good at a new skill isn’t as hard as most people think. When was the last time you spent a focused full hour per day (or even just 30 minutes) practicing something for 30 days? I believe most people would be surprised at what they accomplish.
2) We live in a world full of specialists and immediate gratification - if a task is not visibly applicable to one’s job or is tied to a direct monetary value, we often don’t pursue it. However, I'd like to make a case for the the love for learning and the pursuit of improvement itself. I hope this video inspires at least one person to take on their own learning challenge.
What have you always wanted to learn? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment sections below!
