Mike G's Beginner Drum Course: Part 1

A logical, step-by-step approach to learning how to play the drums.

Chapter 1 of the Beginner Drum Course, will provide you with the tools necessary to successfully play the drums in no time at all. I will take you through a logical step-by-step process that focuses on understanding how rhythms are constructed and how to develop the essential coordination needed to comfortably apply that knowledge to the drum-set.

If you follow my course and complete each exercise you will be able to play basic rhythms, drum beats and drum fills that will get you through many songs. Whether your goal is to play Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Classic Rock, Country, Funk, etc…, the tools learned in this course will give you the foundation necessary to play most styles of drumming.

For the price of two private drum lessons, you get nineteen lessons that include HD quality instructional video with multiple camera angles so you can see what I'm doing with the foot pedals in addition to the hands. PDF files notating the exercises demonstrated. In addition to me demonstrating the exercises in the videos, I also include audio files of me playing through the exercises in certain lessons that I feel will make the learning experience much easier.

I have a degree in Music Performance from Towson University and have been teaching and performing for more than 15 years! Seven of those years were spent touring the world. Playing upwards of 200 shows a year.

I have taken my experiences as both a performer and educator and used it to create a curriculum that I believe is very user friendly, providing a logical step-by-step progression that is informative, engaging and most importantly, fun.
