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!

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.

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. 🤘

"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

Been waiting years for this 🤘🏻

10 years!

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.

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

Tim, this is just... This is just mind-blowing, what you did right here. Am going to make time to watch all the upcoming episodes man.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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 🎉

DUUuuuude!!! AMAZING!!!! Well done... Loved it and subscribed. Excited to see what else you produce, Tim. Keep it up! Own all of your books... keep up the great work and the succinct editing is appreciated as well! 🤗

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Very exciting you’re releasing these!

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

Stewart Copeland teaching you drums is such a dream ❤

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

This was so FUN and inspiring to watch! Thanks Tim! Love from Portugal

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

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!

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. 👊🏼👏🏼

Thank you Tim! I love the podcast and emails and stoked this is once again available!

Beautifully done!!! 💌Congrats Tim!!! You are amazing!👏

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

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.

Awesome concept, awesome execution. Brilliant!

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!

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.

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!

This was such a FUN video!! I love your interviews, but this was just great! I'm a beginner drummer, just learning by doing because I think its fun. You had the experience of a lifetime! What an awesome way to stretch your perceived limitations and model what it means to go for it. Bravo!👏👏👏

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!!!

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.

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.

@hoaacres7084

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

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.

This was so awesome!!! Well done man.

This is gold! Thank you so muh Tim, your content is so interesting... Makes me really think and analyze my actions.

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!

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

An absolutely brilliant performance!! Must have been such an exhilarating experience, well done Tim.👏

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!

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

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

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.

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

i watched these episodes when they were first released. they were so inspiring. definitely worth a re-watch. thanks for uploading! PS: you should do some more!

Awesome! Thanks for bringing this to all of us on YT.

Thanks a lot Tim! When I first read “4 Hour Chef” and Josh Waitzkin’s book I was trying to find all the episodes and only found a few! So glad you released all these!🙌🏾🔥🔥

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.

as a drummer... yeah, if Journey's drummer was playing behind me and I didn't have to hit every note exactly right then this would be the easiest thing in the world.

What if it was Foreigner's drummer? Like in the video. I've never heard Journey's version of Hot Blooded, bet it sucks. Did ya even watch the video? And of course for you, "as a drummer", this would be easy, I'm sure. I, as a musician for 30+ years, would also have very little trouble. Tim, who has absolutely Zero musical history, did a Damn good job keeping up, which you would know if you watched the video. I doubt you or many other "drummers" would have done any better within your very first week of learning.

So awesome to have Stewart Copeland to help out

Tim, this is insane and we love it!

Wow that was great Tim, reminding me to face my fears and step into possibilities. You're the best.

Beautiful, Tim! Well done

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. 😀 💜

That was great to see you succed at the end!! Funny, inspiring and it rocked as hell!

From a former high school drummer, excellent freakin job in such a short window, man! Also, thanks, Tim, for all you do...the first podcast I started listening to regularly, and it's still my fav. You're inspiring, and your spirit and class are entirely contagious.

What an incredible production!

This was a fantastic journey to take me along on. Thank you sir. Great video. Great message!

This is really awesome!!! You were freaking incredible!!! I am proud of you!!! You are the first of my motivational speaking heroes to apply rock music. This is really the closest that I have seen so far to what I feel compelled to do, fusing motivational speaking & heavy rock together to uplift and inspire others to fulfill their dreams too. In essence, rebuilding our world through creativity, imagination, & pure heart. 🤘

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

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

this is amazing, tons of admiration Tim

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!

This is really awesome. Good job, Tim!

Fun to have these available. Look forward to seeing any I missed!

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! 🤘🏼👍🏼✊🏼

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!

Stewart Copeland and Foreigner. Legends. Really enjoyed this.

It's amazing to finally watch this! Thank you

This was fantastic. I just started learning drums and you have motivated me even more. Thank you!

learning how to play a single song on an instrument and learning how to really play an instrument are so monumentally different. Shortcuts are rarely shortcuts and just ways to mask inadequacy.

@CaptainPicard96

@@MrVleker my point is that learning songs is not learning an instrument. its just remembering patterns. truly learning an instrument puts you in a flow state that doesn't require strict structure. I could memorize and rewrite a Shakespearean sonnet or try to paint the monalisa. but neither of these is going to teach me how to be a poet or a painter faster than starting at the fundamentals with techniques like how to hold a paintbrush. learning music song by song will only mask foundational inadequacies. you could impress a room of other novices, but the masters can hear everything you are doing wrong. (tim sounds so out of place here) you would be much better off learning the drums with one drum pad, practicing different paradiddles and understanding things like dynamics. and ever so often, try and pick up a song that utilizes the technique at your current skill level. much like how musical instruments have been taught by the masters for centuries. constantly taking shortcuts in life is going to get you no where. Tim Ferris will undoubtable die as a man who as experienced much but has mastered nothing. not to say that hes not an impressive human being. but he seems to spit in the face of those who truly take the time to learn a complex skill like music or business and breaks it down into these shortcuts that in my humble opinion, are horseshit.

I respect your willingness to go against the prevailing sentiment in the comments, but I still disagree… I think as long as you are careful about not developing bad habits (and you don’t get too overconfident just because you can play a few songs well), you can go song by song and pick up the foundations along the way. It’s a lot more fun, which keeps you motivated, and you can fill in technique gaps and improve with experience. All songs are made of the same parts, and the more you expand your repertoire and internalise them through practice the more you recognise the patterns and can start to use them in new songs, or improvisation. Either way, for most people who do not aspire to reach pro levels, it’s better to enjoy the process by getting the payoff of learning songs fast and early. No point to make students focus on drilling technical exercises if they will give up from boredom before they ever learn a single song… my two cents!

@@KevinTPLim I said you learn songs at your skill level along the way. you didn't counter any argument I made and I'm not sure I even understand the point you are attempting to make. (A cringe inducing, pretentious, and convoluted rhetoric) The "Prevailing sentiment" in the Tim Ferris comment section is obviously going to have bias. It would be incredible ignorant to consider the comment section in anyway a reliable source for whatever point you are making. I was shown this video because I am a musician myself, but as for my opinion of Tim Ferris, almost every Stan I've ever met of Tim's is moving through life like a hamster on a wheel. Looking for short cuts and switching whatever "self improvement" hack they "found" month by month, not realizing they are getting nowhere. that's why people who have actually succeeded in developing life skills that obviously take painstaking dedication think he's kind of a dipshit who's convincing himself he's "hacked" skill mastery, when in reality he's nowhere near a master of anything other than drawing a crowd of success deprived men and separating them from their money.

Wow, so much fun to watch, great to see Tim having fun, and inspiring - I'm wondering what fun new skill i should try this year.

Top work Tim. This was an awesome feat!!!

This is so great that this material is on KZread!

Wow! Great episode and amazing job 🎉

fu@#%ing awesome!! Congrats Tim, you just found another way to have great fun and take us with you!! I was feeling as tense as you during the concert part... haha

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

The beast! Thanks for sharing Tim

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.

What an amazing experiment! Love the video!

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

This was awesome!!! Getting jacked up to play a few songs at a club tomorrow night thx to Tim!

Dude Tim, this is so awesome! Cheers

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

Love this! You are such a beast!

I just started drumming classes - definitely, will watch this show

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!
