Learning to play the drums should be fun, and there is no reason to be overwhelmed with information and rules from the very beginning when all you want to do is play . That's why I have created this course. You'll be playing the drums within minutes, and tracking your progress straight away. This is an introduction to drumming technique for complete beginners. Although the concepts involved might be sophisticated, there is no reason why they should be presented in a boring humdrum way. That's why all of the exercises in this course are to be played with backing tracks that have been especially written so you can experience how these exercises will be used in your drumming from the very beginning. Throughout this five part course you will learn the basic hand techniques that are used all the time in drumming and are universal to any style you want to play. These concepts are known and used by all professional drummers, yet they are often overlooked or misunderstood by beginners, or taught too late when bad habits are already engrained. In Part 1 of the course you will learn: How to correctly hold the drum sticks How to grip the sticks using the best balance and motion possible How to play with natural rebound strokes The three foundation rudiments: single strokes, double strokes and paradiddles; and how you can create inversions of these to make different sticking patterns How to play in time with a click track or backing track How to practice effectively and track your progress Insider methods for practicing exercises up to speed straight away Included are 13 exercise routines with 5 different backing tracks to practice along to. These tracks are divided into 7 different speeds (35 tracks in total), providing a fun, musical way to track your progress. All the while you'll be increasing your speed, control and accuracy at the drums. Once you have completed this course you will have a solid foundation to your drum technique and in a position to learn the more advanced techniques needed in later parts of the course. I've been teaching the drums for over 10 years, and taken 100's of students through their first steps in making music. This course concentrates on the issues they wanted to know, when they needed to know it, and is the result of years of demonstrating and explaining these concepts in the most easily understandable and actionable way I've found possible.

Hi, I'm Carles Planells and I welcome you to the cajon course: Learn through rhythms. In this course you will learn to play the cajon in a fun and dynamic way. The learning method is based on learning rhythms only. The reason for this is because I think it is the most practical way to learn to play percussion because you can quickly apply the knowledge and play with other musicians or on top of your favorite songs. The way to learn the rhythms will be as follows: I'll play the rhythm at a normal speed first so you can see what it sounds like. Then I will slow down a lot so that you can see well where each blow goes and try to imitate me at home. Finally, I will accelerate the speed so you can see how it sounds at the different speeds. Why learn this way? Well, because the learning system by imitation is the oldest that exists and will allow you to develop your ear. Finally, I would like to thank the Peruvian and gypsy teachers for the legacy. And tell you that I hope you enjoy and learn a lot. Courage and patience. Long live music and percussion!

This course is designed for drummers and musicians at all levels to gain greater control of their instrument and build a stronger foundation in rhythm. It covers the fundamental concept of percussion rudiments. Rudiments are at the core of being a competent drummer and percussionist. If you're not a drummer, learning rudiments can enhance your musicianship, coordination, and give you a better sense of rhythm. This course is meant to build a solid foundation of technique, an in-depth understanding of sub-divisions, and coordinated control of various sticking patterns. A firm grasp of these core concepts will open many doors to drummers of any style or context. The rudiments in this course were thoughtfully chosen as common tools for the working drummer or musician. If you're not a drummer - this course can provide a deeper understanding of rhythm and improve your coordination by learning these sticking patterns. These can be applied to any instrument by gaining the skills of limb independence, improved dexterity, and a deeper sense of rhythmic concepts. These rudiments can be applied without drumsticks or playing surface. Simply play these exercises out on your lap with a metronome or a drum-beat accompaniment. If you have questions throughout this course, do not hesitate to message me with further questions about achieving your practice and performance goals.
