Personally Im of the opinion Daz’s back went into spasm when he found out PF’s diesel heaters were about to hit the marketplace.

drumeo(google it)......very good for anybody who wants to learn the basics(plus great for guys like me too as we all never stop learning!)..hope that helps...

[dazmond]

the real beauty of playing drums is playing with other musicians.....but for starters she ll need to learn the basic drum rudiments(flams and paradiddles)and counting(basic rock beat,shuffle groove,triplets,single and double stroke rolls,etc)id recommend a few drum lessons off a local drum teacher then practice,practice,practice and drumming along with headphones on to her favourite music....she ll love it......

good luck!

Thanks for that👍, I'll have a look. I do intend to get her some physical lessons for sure. I have played guitar for almost 30 years and use high quality backing tracks- unfortunately I know nothing about drums!!😄

Daz, i trained for years with heavy weights and often ended up with a bad back and other joints.  My back isn't perfect but so much better than it was, i still train but not as heavy (more reps) and do more stretching than ive ever done along with more exercises to strengthen my mid section and lower back.
Unfortunately as we get older we cant do what we used to (i'm 53 now). I would say rest up until your back is feeling better and then stretch more as mentioned. Your work is more important than throwing a few weights around....
Good luck fella

cheers steve......yes its a fine line between getting enough volume/intensity/weight into my workouts without doing myself in...yes its bad that i couldnt work this week but ive also let the lads down for the gig we should of done last night as we all were looking forward to it.we ve been playing great the last 2 gigs...really got our mojo back!

its been a week since i last went to the gym but im hoping to get there this monday evening for stretching and cardio work only.....

[dazmond]

worked 10am-330pm.....fine....no lumbar support.....back slightly achy this afternoon but nothing too bad...no painkillers either!

no weight training again this week though.....just stretching and foam rolling..👍.....might do a bit of cardio later on in the week on the bike...

i feel like my back has healed now...im totally fine..eating a steady 150-200g of protein a day has helped i reckon...im tempted to go back to the gym for a bit of light weight training but im going to give myself a full 2 weeks off until next monday before easing myself back into my training....

Good to hear Daz, but don’t be silly, the protein wouldn’t have made any difference what so ever, the body heals weather you eat 40 chickens a day not mate 👍🏼

of course it makes a difference....your body heals quicker with a higher protein diet...esp a big guy like me.......protein helps your muscles repair the damage

Yeah for hypotrophy and of course general maintenance of the body and muscles,

but what I’m saying is, whether you’d eaten more than the average daily amount of protein or not, you still would healed up the same 👍🏼

You get enough protein in your diet as it is for healing...I can’t imagine you’d be lacking it!

Complete nonsense to a point protein does so much,do you think serious people that lift weights rely on protein alone lol.

I used to surf kayak ‘till my back went again.
Had a Mega Reflex full carbon.

It's wicked surf kayaking, I have a carbon Mega Megatron for surfing as they sit on the waves rather than in the water and a NDK explorer sea kayak 17 and a half feet long for exploring the coastline which I wouldn't part with until I'm too old to heist it up on the roof of the van
