Advanced Rudimental Drumming

This class will cover multiple aspects of advanced rudimental drumming. Be ready to play as this is a very hands-on course! Each class is divided into sections. Section one is our warm-up section. This warm-up section will give students the tools to move towards greater hand control at higher tempo ranges. We will be pushing the warm-ups in this section towards 200BPM. The second section will cover the particular rudimental study of the day. 
Day 1 - Accent and rebound studies
Day 2 - Paradiddles and their permutations!
Day 3 - Singles and doubles as triplets, 16ths, and beyond!
Day 4 - Syncopation accents with applied diddle strokes
Day 5 - 5 stroke rolls and their permutations!
Day 6 - Ruffs vs Drags (The biggest question facing the percussion world today)!
Day 7 - Ratamacues 
Day 8 - Putting it all together!!!

The third and final section of each class will be an open Q&A for any students with questions regarding the material covered in class (or any other musical questions that may come up in during our time together).

I teach this class more like an old-school exercise video than a standard drum lesson. We will be playing from the first minute of class through to the end of section two each week. Be ready to roll!!    

A minimum of one year of lessons/school band/etc is highly recommended for this class. Beginning students will have a hard time keeping up in this class.
