It took him many years of research and several years to write it as well. He wrote me late last year to ask about hosting him on the podcast to discuss his book to which I replied, \u201cAbsolutely! Send me the book and we will do it!\u201d. Upon receiving his book I began reading and put together my own EPM system using the book and its sets of questions to determine where I wanted my drumming to go and what needed to be addressed. Since then, I have never been so happy and determined in my drumming life.&amp;nbsp; The book calibrates you and fills you up with momentum to tackle the lessons, whether online or in person, with more focus and purpose. Whenever I look for lessons on Drumeo Edge, I now know exactly what I am looking for. I consider this book an essential resource for drummers who are committed to becoming the drummer they wish to become.  You can get it right here. &amp;nbsp; You Will Hear About\u2026.  Why we must separate playing from practicing. Benny\u2019s ratio between time spent practicing versus playing. How should we treat ourselves during practice? A story from the book outlining how small changes applied consistently over time can create an enormous impact. The Whale Method. The Feel Good Factor. What should you practice?  &amp;nbsp; Why Should You Listen? Do you want to become better at your instrument? If you said yes to that question then I suppose you should listen to this. This is only the first part of three parts of the EPM series and I think this is a nice coat of primer for what\u2019s to come. A lot of the material in the book and within this podcast episode resonated with me deeply. These are things that most, if not all, of us, go through and to have some empathetic advice to steer us towards more clarity is valuable. &amp;nbsp; Music Featured In Today\u2019s Show Moving Parts - Celsius: 0:00 Greb\/Husband - Immune System: 1:33 Greb\/Husband - Icebath: 11:50 Greb\/Husband - Meditation: 32:53 Benny Greb - No. 1: 43:37 &amp;nbsp; Photo by Gerhard Kuehne &amp;nbsp; Benny\u2019s Socials Instagram Facebook YouTube Website &amp;nbsp; Follow \u2018Drumeo Gab\u2019 Instagram  Facebook  YouTube ","author_name":"Drumeo Gab Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/drumeogab.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/18308888\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/98254445"}
