What Is The Deal With Endorsements?
Drumeo Gab Podcast
We all want them....right? But what do endorsements do for you? What happens next after you get one and post online about it? Have you ever noticed that some artists tend to switch companies often? What does it all mean? This is my opinion on endorsements after five years of observing. Todd Sucherman also makes some great points to consider too.

Donald “DJ” Johnson is the drummer for Khruangbin, an instrumental trio hailing from Houston, Texas. The irony of today’s episode is due to the fact that Khruangbin does not record their records to a click track. They approach their recordings in a very “old school” kind of way. The band has recorded each of their records at Mark’s family farm in Burton, Texas, which is a rural area between Houston and Austin.
The need for a band to have impeccable timing to record music without a click is paramount, otherwise, the editing would be far more nightmarish. To gain a strong internal pulse that is in time is a skill that every musician needs to continually work on. With that being said, today’s episode focuses on practical exercises to strengthen your timing through metronome practicing methods.
You Will Hear About….
- A brief history lesson on the metronome.
- A gap click exercise.
- Rob “Beatdown” Brown shares a lesson on displacing the metronome.
- An active listening exercise featuring a Khruangbin tune.
- What is a hemiola?
- How I learned to love the metronome.
Why Should You Listen?
We all need to submit ourselves to the metronome at some point. For timekeeping is arguably the most important skill set to develop as a drummer. This episode provides at least two very effective exercises to sharpen these skills.
