Your Mind’s Ear: Dave Elitch on Sound, Gear, and Playing Without Pain

Drummer and educator Dave Elitch (The Mars Volta, Weezer, Miley Cyrus) joins me to break down why so many drummers hit a ceiling—and how to fix it with better mechanics, smarter practice, and choices that actually translate to the kit. We dig into eliminating hidden tension, building sustainable speed and feel, practical tuning and muffling, and Dave’s new course Your Mind’s Ear on dialing in sound and gear (launching September 8, 2025). Highlights The #1 mistake: building speed on top of tension—and how to unwind it Meeting players where they are: playing “more you” without pain Social media vs. reality: flashy techniques that won’t hold up on a gig Practical tuning & muffling (heads, dampening, avoiding dead drums) Small daily habits that prevent injury and compound progress Find Dave Website/Courses: www.daveelitch.com Instagram: @daveelitch Follow Drum History Subscribe for more deep dives on drumming and music history.
