Mike G's Beginner Drum Course: Part 2

Mike G's Beginner Drum Course: Part 2

Part 2 of The Beginner Drum Course is a continuation of the skills and methods learned in Part 1. We will expand our rhythmic capabilities by exploring sixteenth notes and applying them to grooves, drum-fills and rudimental practice. These tools will help you to access a whole new world of possibilities on the instrument and inspire you to reach new heights never before imagined in your playing.

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 one private drum lessons, you get twenty-two 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.

My passion for teaching is evident in my students experiences. Check out what my students are saying about Part 2 of the Beginner Drum Course:

This drum course is excellent with comprehensive curriculum for drumming fundamentals. You immediately gain confidence during lesson one. Mike effortlessly breaks it down, explains it, demonstrates it, and teaches it with clarity. He keeps you at the perfect pace to grasp the techniques and continue advancing with skill. I highly recommend this course for any age student boy or girl.

Great Curriculum Probably the best Introduction to drumming! This course has a very logical structure and is cleverly designed so that pseudo beginners like me or even complete beginners can profit and learn a lot from these lectures. Every lesson is build on the previous one or extends the previous to a further aspect of drumming. Almost every lesson has pdf file and some have audio clips with the material made even more accessible and to practice separately. Already in lesson 10 there are some improvisations possible with the fills and the variations and i enjoyed this very much. Lesson 13 gives an insight how to transfer the techniques and rudiments around the tom-toms. This freedom to play around almost enlightened me and motivated to practice even more. I do not want to rush through the lessons, so that i have enough pleasure still waiting for me... thank you very much, Mike - this is a great course!!! Almost through and i need to add, that this is the best course i have got from udemy - i am enthusiastic about this great course!!
