im a church drummer and let me tell you. You name a venue where you play every sunday (most since they first learned to walk had a pair of sticks on each hand to help with balance) to the BEST of your ability, giving it your best with enough time to spaz out and get creative? Church is the only place where a musician grows to such an extent that rival most (studied) pro drummers. I know plenty of cats that can hang with the best of them, just go to a local church on sunday and you'll understand.
its a blessing to see someone the came from the bottom and now at the top,i play but i gave up on my dream and started driving trucks and this makes me want to stop driving trucks and get back into music!thanks for the clip bro god bless
I'm 17 years old guitarist and would LOVE to play with someones live band as a living but I don't know what steps to take. Please help cause this video looks like the life I want to live
@Fenderbaby94 Im in the same position. I don't know what country you live in, but im heading off to college in October to study drums, and i'll learn all about the various steps needed to get to whatever stage i want to be at, as well as learning my trade and honing my skills. The really get behind you too, and if you're good any work they find that would you suit you, the get you involved. Look around for courses/contacts like that, but don't give up. Chase your dream!
Yo Rex. I'm a guitarist man, n I appreciate those words of encouragement. I'm new to the touring world but ima continue to let god use me n stay hungry for the dream that's now a reality
Man Thanks Rex! The vids of your musical fam are mad funny! But out of every vid I've watched so far the words of encouragement meant a lot too an up and come drummer as myself. Those words hit deep, much needed this mornin.
man i love the story... i stay having dreams that i could make it one day... im def gonna stay inspired and stay hungry, most of all ima try and be a cool dude to people because nobody likes to a bad attitude. Hey Thanks REX!
This is so cool, behind-the-scenes stuff! Loving Rex's drum kit, and the way they tossed the gospel flavor in there. I thought it was immature that the Asian man was called Bruce Lee just because he was Chinese.....otherwise I liked this.
Thanks for sharing Rex, love the story of how you got started with Mary & your telling others who think it won't happen for them to just hang on their chance is coming :)
REX..Great inspiration Bro...Keep da fire burning..Speak on it..Mad LOve.G$
