Put In Boundaries To Your Drumming Life For A Healthier Balance
Friday, January 2nd, 2026
Practice in areas you feel most comfortable (such as with particular friends). Keep it clear, simple and polite – no need for lengthy explanations or over-the-top apologies, it’s ok to say no sometimes to students and gigs.
If you are unsure, buy yourself some time to consider your options with ‘let me get back to you’
Remind yourself that saying no allows you to support yourself and focus on the projects that really matter
Try to sit with any anxiety that saying no may provoke, it’s uncomfortable but it will pass and get easier with practice
If you are unsure where to put in boundaries, seek outside guidance from My Drum Lessons.
