Description

Welcome to my online drum course!

Throughout these 7 Lessons I will introduce you to different topics which I think are essential to develop solid skills as a drummer.

I will start by showing you the basic 12 rudiments and how to practice them in a non-conventional way, together with your feet, so you can start exploring from the very beginning the so-called independence of the limbs.

I will also give you some exercises to train your ability of playing even and swing modes.

Every exercise will be played by me to show you how it must be done.

I will introduce the main swing pattern for hi hat and cymbal and will give you a lot of exercises to enrich your jazz vocabulary.

You will also get both the pdf transcriptions for them and the slowed down audio tracks (at different speed), so you can start practicing at very slow tempos, and then move on to faster ones once you've mastered the mechanics properly. This will allow you to build confidence and to practice in the most effective way, building a solid and precise playing.

I will be talking about latin jazz grooves as well and show you some very cool patterns that master jazz drummers from the past used to play.

I will introduce some cool hip hop grooves for you to build confidence with the even mode.

Last but not least I will give you some lists of recommended listenings for every topic I show you.


This Course is addressed to Intermediate and Advanced Drummers who want to better understand Jazz, working on some vocabulary and exploring different genres as well.


I really hope you will have fun with this course!

don't hesitate to contact me for any doubts/questions you might have, I will be happy to get back to you asap.
