Welcome to 'An Introduction to Drumming LEVEL 2'!
Although this is the second installment in the series ‘An Introduction to Drumming’, it also functions as a stand-alone course. This is the most complete and in-depth course you will find on learning to play drums at a beginner level.
The lectures provide step-by-step instructions and there are practical play-along example videos for every exercise.
What you'll get in this course:
· 11 Hours of video lessons, covering everything a beginner drummer needs to know
· A 100+ page companion book (in PDF format) to aid your practicing
· Downloadable music backing tracks for you to play along with
· Content that's equivalent to what a student would learn in the second year of private lessons.
After this course, you will be able to:
· Read and write drum notation
· Confidently play drum grooves and fills at a variety of tempos
· Play songs along with backing music
· Count rhythms correctly and practice effectively
· Enter and pass a Rockschool/Rock & Pop Grade 1 exam
