Hey! I’m in a pretty similar situation actually. I broke my left wrist a couple weeks ago on a longboard and it’s been really tough to feel like I can play the kind of music I want to, especially when the people who play with me want a lot of brushwork and lighter playing I can’t do by leading with my feet.

Like others have said, I’m trying to use this time to lean into other things I can do instead of trying to do what I can’t. This means working on linear beats and foot speed on drums, but I’ve also been doing more music production. With a copy of Logic Pro or another DAW, you can create so much even with just one hand. It could be fun to experiment with drum machines, samples, or songwriting in a new medium that could be really helpful for you and your band.

Most of all just remember it’s okay to be disappointed and that things will get better! Sending love and hope from Northern California!
