Do you ever find yourself at a loss for what to practice?

This eBook offers over 400 pages of drum lessons all clearly explained and notated. You'll never be at a loss for things to practice again!

The material herein covers some of the questions I am most often asked about drumming. Through my teaching journeys, I also started to recognize what some of my students needed to work on in order to be prepared for what they would encounter in real world working situations.

I’ve spent countless hours writing and refining these lessons in hopes of clearly communicating the drumming information you are seeking.

 

Here's What You'll Discover Inside This 400+ Page eBook:

  • A Lifetime of Practice Material: With over 400 pages of clearly explained and notated lessons, you will never be at a loss for what to work on. This is your library of inspiration.

  • The Answers You've Been Looking For: Unlock my personal approach to the drumming concepts I get asked about most, from New Orleans second-line rhythms to advanced rudimental applications.

  • Real-World Musical Applications: Learn the vocabulary and grooves that prepare you for what you'll actually encounter in working musical situations, whether it's jazz, funk, or rock.

  • The Skeleton Key to Creativity: I'll show you how to take fundamental concepts and expand them into endless variations, giving you the tools to develop your own unique voice on the instrument.

  • Ultimate Portability: As an instant-download PDF, you can take your entire practice curriculum with you anywhere on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
