Start drumming now

This drumming course will help you get started playing the drums or sharpen your skills if you are already drumming.

Starting with how to hold your sticks, to the different feet techniques ending with understanding subdivisions and time signatures, all accompanied with useful practical exercises.

The 12 prerecorded lessons are divided into three sections.
A theory section for understanding the inner workings of music.
A technique section for getting the most out of you and the drum set without hurting yourself.
And a practice section to train the drumming muscles.

By visually explaining how to move, it will take a minimum of effort to either play your first drum beat or improve your drumming to perfection. I have developed a unique system en explanation that is easy to follow and understand, so you can concentrate fully on your playing ability. By dividing each lesson into 3 parts, it will be short and to the point so you will not be overwhelmed by all the information.

Next to the video, you will get a downloadable pdf with all the information and lesson materials you need to keep (forever).
