Episode 21 - SeanIsaac Tng (Ready2Drum, Jai Waetford)

The Deconstructed Drummer Podcast

Welcome to Episode 21! This is a conversation with SeanIsaac Tng. Sean is a young Sydney based drummer who I first encountered at a drum shed in the hills district of Sydney a few years ago. He would have been 16 or 17 at that time I’m pretty sure, and already was playing stuff that I couldn’t even comprehend. So he’d been on my radar since then, and late last year let me know that he was starting an online drumming company called “Ready2drum”, and asked if I’d be interested in being involved as a part of the tutors network. Starting any online business is an ambitious move, and to put something together that is well designed, well thought out and looks professional is huge. Especially to do so when there’s huge players in the online scene like Mike Johnston and Drumeo, so I was really interested in having a chat with Sean about this. I didn’t want this to be a “product pitch” or anything like that, as not only do I think that would seem out of place on the podcast, but I’m also not really interested in something that feels forced like that. I wanted this to be a conversation where you got some background on Sean, and then discuss the reality of putting together an online business, what he thought was missing from existing platforms, and the trials and tribulations that come with that. Add to that the fact that Sean is only 22 years old. Yep... I was really impressed with how much thought and insight he’s got at such a young age, and really enjoyed getting to sit down with him. We talk about church drumming, how that translates to “regular” gigging, the logistics and challenges of launching an online drumming site, parental expectations, perfectionism, presenting your first drum clinics and a whole lot of other stuff. So here it is. Please enjoy my conversation with SeanIsaac Tng.
