This weeks guest is Greg Hersey…a percussionist and educational artist based out of Jackonville, Florida. He is currently the Director of Instrumental Music at Episcopal School of Jacksonville. I first found him on Instagram when he started tagging Big Fat Snare Drum. His creativity has seemingly grown exponentially and it’s super inspiring and his use of multi-percussion is insane. Before you listen to the episode, I encourage you to check out some of Greg’s videos to understand the context of both my questions and his approach to music as a whole. But anyways…enough of my yacking…please enjoy the top 5 records that helped shape greg Hersey into the drummer he is today. Cheers!

Greg Hersey's Top 5 Influential Records 

“It’s endless of how many different opportunities we can provide and create for ourselves.” Greg Hersey is the Director of Instrumental Music at Episcopal School of Jacksonville and received his masters degree at University North Florida. He is a very well studied musician and has a passion for education as he is currently in his fourth year as band director. He uses Instagram to showcase his talents and creativity with many of his videos reaching well into five-figure for the number of views. In particular, his trap set videos indicate his high level of musical knowledge and creative rhythmic applications. I wanted Greg on the show because he works in the school system and with all of the changes that teachers face, I thought it would be very interesting to hear his perspective on how he and his colleagues have adapted to this new way of doing things. We also get an in-depth look as to how his love for drumming took shape and a few people in his life that pushed him to become who he is today.   You Will Hear About….  What it is like teaching in the school system today. His first real drum lesson with Benjamin Wiseman and the impact that had. Greg’s observations on support from home regarding music. Intrinsic values vs extrinsic values. Charlotte Mavery and the positive influence she had on Greg.    Why Should You Listen? It is really interesting to hear about how within the education system things have changed and what faculty have to do now in order to satisfy the current situation we are in. Also, for people who may feel like they have a deep connection with something, it is great to hear a success story that involves a career path that is not always associated with the word “stable”. Greg managed to find a career that he strongly connects with and he finds a lot of pleasure in what he does professionally day to day.

Greg Hersey - Adapting To Change

Welcome back to this weeks’ episode of the Drummers I Like podcast. Today we had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg Hersey. Greg is an educator, touring drummer and the founder of the #Completethebeat Instagram series. Greg is endorsed by Cympads, DrumTacs, DrumDial, Kickport, RimRiser, and OneBeat Better.In this Episode 	Discover the path that leads Greg to become an educator behind the drums. 	The role models and mentors that Greg learned from and how he takes their positive reinforcement and teaches his students to be confident behind the kit. 	The tightknit community of drummers that sparked the idea of “Complete the Beat.” as an education tool and way to connect others in this age of technology.About GregGreg Hersey is a Florida native that comes from a family of drummers. At a young age, Greg grew up around the kit. One of the biggest influences at the beginning for Greg was his dad Scott. Once the seed had been planted Greg found his niche through some old school drummers such as Steve Gadd, Vic Firth, and young Tony Royster Jr. With such a wide variety of musical styles, these DVD's pushed Greg to widen his depth of knowledge and playing style further.Greg started to get paid gigs while still in high school. These gigs were mostly local shows where Greg and his band mates played cover songs at bars and smaller venues. The aspect of being a paid musician at a young age gave Greg the drive to continue pursuing music. After high school, Greg auditioned at a handful of universities to study music further and eventually graduated from the University of North Florida.“I know this is a good idea because nobody else is doing it!”Not all great ideas are obvious, but all obvious ideas are great, and the idea of sharing a groove with others via Instagram in which individuals can learn from and add to the beat themselves is an excellent idea. Greg thought this concept through for quite some time before posting his videos. The primary focus of the videos was to break the stigma that to be a good drummer meant you had to shed regularly.Being an inspiration to others, sharing your passion with the world, having compassion and humility will take you farther than you could ever have imagined. Competition is always around trying to bring you down but holding true to yourself being positive, genuine human lands the gig every time. Hear it first hand from Greg the most down to earth, easy going drummers around in this week's episode.If you enjoyed this episode or have missed out on previous episodes subscribe to the podcast to receive inside info and weekly drumming updates.Thanks for joining us this week!Drum resource of the week: The TonalEnergyGreg’s recommended book is: Tommy Igoe’s: Groove Essentials 1.0Subscribe to the Newsletter for early access to content, contests, and offers!Drummers I Like LinkswebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterClick here to get a free subscription to Audible with our exclusive Drummers I Like Link
