2025 Recap

It’s time again for a recap! We’re closing another year full of positive notes, and I’m beyond grateful for your support and appreciation of my content.

The blog reached one million total visits—a major milestone for a small and niche platform. This year’s stats exceeded those of the previous year, with over 216,000 views and more than 59,000 visitors, driven largely by organic traffic from around the world (special thanks to readers from the USA, UK, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Australia, and Brazil). Despite the rise of AI, the blog continues to grow. Some traffic even comes from chatbots like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot, which is evidence of the relevance of the blog’s resources.

The social media pages have also seen remarkable growth. Notably, the Instagram page reached over 10,000 followers, with engagement increasing significantly. At the same time, I’ve been actively removing bots that negatively affect the website’s visibility. A similar issue occurs on Instagram, where fake activity on certain posts impacts engagement, and I’m currently investigating it.

We’ve extended our affiliation with the renowned European music store Thomann for another year. In the next posts, I’ll discuss all the benefits of this partnership. The blog’s mission remains the same: to provide authentic music education. Starting next month, posts will be accessible exclusively to subscribers, who will benefit from early access to all new articles and educational resources—subscribing is completely free!

Here’s a selection of the best articles of the year, featuring a series of drum sheet music, transcriptions, and exercises to inspire and elevate your drumming. Wishing you a wonderful New Year filled with love and music!
