THE COURSE
'The Course' is our golden child! A step-by-step guide to playing the drums. Finally a comprehensive drumming course which takes the guessing out of what/how to learn and guides students step-by-step through the most effective way of learning the drums. Based on 50 years of drum teaching experience spanning two generations. This course takes you from absolute beginner to an advanced shredder with thousands of exercises strategically implemented to get you where you want to be as a player.
The Course consists of 85 + Chapters of material. Each chapter hosts a fundamental topic with a 5-15 minute lesson on the topic followed by 10-20 Beat Exercises which are all recorded at 2 tempos with an accompanying PDF Worksheet download.
Keep in mind this is a consistently growing and evolving course, this is just iteration one! New Chapters are added weekly. I have taught this exact course to all of my previous / current students at DK Drums Academy and in most cases it takes years for students to get through iteration one!
