Unleash the Drummer You're Meant to Be!
Say goodbye to self-doubt and procrastination—take action now with FitDrummers
"Ready to change the habits that are holding you back?"
Drumming (and especially touring) can take a massive toll on our bodies and minds, leaving us with aches and pains that never seem to go away. But without changing the habits that keep us stuck—like procrastination, poor health routines, or ignoring pain—we’ll never truly improve or feel our best.
I’m here to help you make that change. I’ve seen firsthand how shifting your fitness and wellness habits can transform a musician’s career, giving you the energy, confidence, and pain-free performance you’ve been craving.
While most drum programs focus on rudiments, techniques, fills, and grooves, this program focuses on you—the drummer. Your habits. Your health. Your mindset. What you do as a drummer is athletic, and it requires strength, mobility, and resilience. Together, we’ll break through resistance, change the behaviors that have been holding you back, and help you thrive both behind the kit and in life.
You have the power to achieve your dreams within you. We help you tap into that power.
Set yourself up for success. Eliminate those aches and pains. Start with our free Do Anywhere Warm Ups Video Series:
"Step Into Your Full Potential Behind the Kit"
Injuries, fatigue, and self-doubt can feel like insurmountable obstacles, keeping you from reaching your peak as a drummer. Whether it’s lingering pain, burnout from the road, or inner resistance holding you back, these challenges don’t have to define your career.
I’m Rich Knox, your guide at FitDrummers. As the drummer for Danko Jones and a touring musician for over 20 years, I’ve experienced the physical and mental toll drumming can take. I’ve played club shows, festivals, and arenas night after night, and I know the struggles you face because I’ve been there too.
What made the difference? A holistic approach to drumming, built on physical fitness, smart nutrition, and mental wellbeing. With multiple certifications in fitness and nutrition, I’ve made it my mission to help drummers like you overcome their barriers and thrive—not just as musicians but as artists living their best lives.
Your potential is waiting. Together, we’ll conquer the challenges holding you back so you can play stronger, feel better, and create the music you’re meant to make.
Let’s make you better at touring so you can make better art.
"You’re More Than ‘Just a Drummer’"
Drumming is more than a passion—it’s part of who you are. But when fatigue, injury, burnout, or lack of motivation creep in, they can threaten to derail your progress and take the joy out of playing. These challenges don’t define you, but overcoming them will unlock the drummer—and person—you’re meant to become.
At FitDrummers, we don’t just treat symptoms as they arise. Instead, we help you build a strong, unshakable foundation. Through accountability and expert guidance, we’ll address the physical and mental roadblocks that stand in your way—whether it’s nagging injuries, low energy, or the weight of self-doubt.
This isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about a personalized, fulfilling approach tailored to your life, your goals, and your unique needs as both a person and a drummer. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to help you thrive in every aspect of your life and career.
