All,
I've got something that's been bugging me for a bit now. I left my last band recently (amicably), as they wanted to head towards a music style that just wasn't in my interest, but since then, I've just had no interest in getting back behind the kit. I've been playing off and on for about 25, maybe 30 years by now and have always enjoyed being a groovemaster, but lately I just don't have the drive, it seems.
Have any of you been through this and is there any hope? I've sat behind my kit several times and tried to practice (usually I play along to selected tracks from my library that I've put together into my jam playlist) mostly to keep in shape, but there's just no fun or enjoyment anymore. Should I consider finding a good teacher to help me with my style and form, kind of like what Neil Peart did; or maybe I just need to find and join another band that puts the fun back in it?
Any advice is much appreciated!
