Brutally Honest Advice For Broke Musicians

_______________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________

For the last 14 years, I've been learning all there is to know about what it takes to make it as a pro musician, from playing tiny shows for two people with no pay to landing the gig of a lifetime, drumming at sold out shows of 20,000 people with my metal band I Prevail. Now, I'm sharing what I learned with you. This is brutally honest advice you NEED to hear if you want to go pro as a musician.

This channel is so underrated. I have no idea how you haven’t won Drumeo’s YouTube drummer of the year award…

[Quasar]

one of my favorite things is when someone actually gives advice without a care for what others think. Its not something that can satisfy everyone, but only for people who can get past being offended and actually listen. Thanks gabe ❤❤

[ShiprockedDave]

Great show in Atlanta the other night. I was bummed that meet and greet got cancelled but the show was absolutely awesome. All 4 bands crushed it. Loved your drumming as always.

[calebflood]

We are so blessed to have you mate your advice is super helpful to the drumming community

[henkemusic]

this is one of the best videos I've ever seen about musician career. You're amazing gabe, definitely you are one of my biggest inspirations for music.

99% of the time it's a skill issue, folks.

Excellent video with great value.

I decided to go full time in drumming after seeing your first video on going pro a year or so back.

Currently teaching, gigging and recording as a session player excatly how you started after quitting your dayjob.

Working on future money is the toughest part for me.

This video hit close to home, full of great advice.

Thank you Gabe!

The biggest problem for me right now is that I can't even afford a drum kit .its too expensive for me to purchase that I can't even afford a cheap or a second hand kit. I have been learning drums for three years now with just a practice pad a pair of sticks and some pillow's.every single thing that I have learnt about drumming is by watching YouTube videos.

Watery eyes here at the job's break room; realizing about not being the only one trying to simply get out. Thanks again lil brother. 🤘🏻🥁🤘🏻

[Mattseak]

Wow! I've seen quite a few "How to make living playing music" type of videos, but this one here is the most helpful and realistic I've ever seen! Great job dude!

Gabe, I'm so glad and thankful for your youtube channel and your great advice. You really gave a lot of us the hope to achieve the dream of becoming a pro drummer. Thanks for this great channel, you're an absolute role model

I'm appreciative of this video more than I can put in to words. This will be a video that I'll watch over and over to learn from.

I will NEVER skip a Drum Beats Online video 😈😈😈 (Btw amazing show the other night in Alpharetta! Great time.)

[thijmen-]

honestly what a speach, I am playing bass for about 6 months rn and I am having a lot of fun. Making a living of playing my favourite instrument is like a feverdream to me so I never expected anything special but the way you inspire me is so cool. Great video <3

[SlipperySap]

You make the best drumming videos ever. Keep it up! ❤
