Grooves

Building Your Grooves - Beginner Yes, fills and chops are cool and flashy but if you can't groove then all the chops in the world wont matter. This course is for the true beginner. It will walk you through the core fundamentals of the most common drum set grooves, and it will prepare you for what's to come in the intermediate course. 6 Lessons 40 Mins

Building Your Grooves - Intermediate This course picks up where the beginner course left off. In this course we will be learning new grooves of course, but the main focus here is feel, texture and touch. This course is all about creating a greater sense of depth in every groove you learn from this point on. 6 Lessons 35 Mins

Building Your Grooves - Advanced This course is slightly different than the beginner and intermediate courses. Yes you will be learning new grooves in this course but that's not really what it's about. This course is about treating each groove as an "environment" and exploring it to it's fullest. 6 Lessons 45 Mins

Linear Grooves 2 - Halftime Feel No doubt about it, these grooves are saucy! In this course we will jump into a half time feel by placing the backbeat on three. This allows for us to play more complex Linear Grooves while still maintaining a relaxed feel. A bit of a warning though, these grooves are pretty darn advanced so don't beat yourself up if these ones take a little bit longer to learn than you're used to :) 6 Lessons 35 Mins
