Hey, I’ve been there. If you’re having trouble figuring this all out on your own, just know that it’s not your fault. It was the same for me when I first started. I really wanted to learn to play but I had no idea how or where to get the guidance I needed.
If you’re anything like I was back then, you just want to be able to play; to walk up to a set of drums and confidently sit down and play off the top of your head–and sound great doing it!
Luckily, I found a great teacher where I lived (New York City) who really knew what to do. He taught me by focusing on 5 important foundational skills. That’s right. Just five. That’s it.
This method of teaching worked for me. As evidence of that, I was chosen by Neil Peart (Rush’s drummer) as one of the winners of Modern Drummer Magazine‘s very first drum solo contest. I had other victories too; you can search for my Wikipedia page for more if you’re interested.
But this is really about you, not me. This is about your journey to learn the drums, and my way of helping is to simplify things for you.
In fact, I believe that simplicity is the key to learning to play drums.
That’s why I’ve spent 16 years honing my teaching system and paring it down to just the key elements.
They’re called The 5 Pillars of Drumming, and I’ve used the method to successfully teach 1,000 beginners–just like you.
The 5 Pillars of Drumming® is trademarked because it’s unique and proven.
It’s made specifically for beginners and you can’t get it anywhere else.
Our teaching system is turn-key and easy to follow.
And that means you’ll have no more confusion about what to do.
Just follow our lead and you’ll become a drummer.
We take you from:
Point A = “I can’t really play the drums”
to
Point B = “I can play confidently off the top of my head”
