Episode 8 - Jay Postones (Tesseract)

This episode was a real one.Massive thanks to Jay for taking the time to sit down and go deep on everything from practice philosophy and plateaus, to gear, technique, and building a life around drumming. There’s a lot of value in here—whether you’re feeling stuck, refining your setup, or just trying to stay consistent with a busy schedule.What stood out most to me is the reminder that progress doesn’t come from doing everything… it comes from doing the right things consistently. Even 15–20 minutes, done with intent, adds up.If you’re a drummer trying to level up, there are some serious takeaways in this one.Drop a comment with your biggest takeaway, and if you got value from this, make sure to like and subscribe—it helps a lot more than you think.Connect and learn with Jay:Website: https://jaypostones.comYoutube: ‪@JayTesseracT‬ Instagram: Jay Postones (@jaytesseract)If you enjoyed this episode:👍 Like the video💬 Comment your thoughts🔔 Subscribe for more drummer-focused conversationsStay consistent.
