WHO IS A SPIRIT DRUMMER
A spirit drummer is a drummer orchestrated by the spirit, not his brains, not his skills, not his flexibility, not his strokes, not his strengths but his spirit. Spirit is breath. He is not seen but felt, He flows through every human like oxygen flows through a human but the spirit is controlled by the owner(the drummer). Either you use him well or discard him or let him just flow through you without making any impact. He also referred to as the heart. So a spirit drummer is a drummer that allows his spirit or his heart control the movement of his hands, his legs, and the movement of his thoughts.

WAYS OF BECOMING A SPIRIT DRUMMER
There are 6 ways of becoming a spirit drummer. I call them 'Rules'. These rules will make you take a huge step of becoming a spirit as they have helped me.
1. More of heart drumming and less head drumming:
Heart drumming is not less intelligent drumming. It is not less flexible, energetic, and skillful drumming. But it is being the carrier and the controller of the spirit of the song. Every song has a spirit. Every song has a wave. Every song has a feeling. You can't use hip hop wave in a classical song or classical feeling. Detect the feeling and the spirit and using your heart and control the wave.

2: Instincts do the bulk of the Work: Instinctive is a spirit drumming. It is being orchestrated by the spirit. It is knowing what to do at the right time. In a twinkle of an eye. It is making split second decisions when playing the drum. Instincts has a 95 percent accurate level. Let me ask a question. Do you wonder why drummers sometimes play what not in the music staff in a split second and still come back, especially when the song is on a very high wave. A Spirit Drummer controls his instincts even when it happens in a split second. Instincts are started by the spirit but is controlled by the spirit drummer.
Alright guys I would have to pause here. In my next part I will complete the six and answer the rest of the questions. Remember drums are played with the heart (spirit) not with the head..............
