What happens when life throws a curveball at a drummer pushing the limits of speed and technique? You turn trauma into transformation.
In this moving episode of The Savoir Faire Audio Experience, we sit down with Alex Cohen, a renowned drummer, educator, and author, whose technical innovations have inspired musicians around the world. But in July of 2024, Alex’s journey took a profound turn when he was diagnosed with Grade 3 Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma, a rare form of malignant brain cancer.
Rather than let the diagnosis define him, Alex turned inward—finding unexpected clarity, purpose, and healing through classical music and creative exploration. He takes us behind the scenes of his upcoming book, where he redefines drumming through emotional nuance, influenced by the likes of Chopin and Beethoven.
🧠🎶 In this episode, you’ll discover:
How a cancer diagnosis reshaped Alex’s view of rhythm, art, and life
The role of classical music in his recovery and creative rebirth
How trauma can unlock unexpected artistic doors
What it means to translate emotion into technique on the drum set
A powerful message of perseverance, vulnerability, and growth
Whether you're a musician, creator, or someone navigating personal challenges—Alex’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of art.
