Dealing With Uncertainty

In this weeks episode, we talk about dealing with uncertainty. Being working drummers, we all encounter uncertainty all too often. From not knowing when the next gig will come in, not knowing what to practice, what bit of gear to buy and everything in between. It makes a tough business feel even tougher. We're all in it together though and if you have a that uneasy feeling of uncertainty, get in touch are share your stories with us on our instagram - @countusinpodcast - we'd love to chat about them! Matt: @matt_lacey_drummerJamie: @jamiejoinermusicHarry: @harryplaysdrumsSupport the showBuy Me A Coffee Link: buymeacoffee.com/countusinpodcast
