The Time Has Come:

After 50 years of drumming – I feel it’s time to give back.

I am currently filming 3-5 minute short instructional videos that will contain everything from building your rudimental chops to laying down a solid grove. The program will start from the beginning, teaching the importance of your set up and feeling comfortable behind the kit to being able to solo with confidence.

I’ll share the many secrets, tips and tricks I’ve learned throughout my five decades of percussion so that you may enjoy playing drums as much as I do. Remember, music must be fun and make people forget their troubles – if only for awhile. As a drummer, YOU make the beat that moves their feet!

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, there’s something here for everyone.

Here's a quickie on consistency. Focus on a consistent sound and intensity. Watch and enjoy.

Podcast Quickie. Ghost notes and what they can add to your drumming. This is a quick sample of what they are and how to use them.

Just messing around on a Saturday. Laid down this cool upright bass line, threw in a few chords and just had to play drums to it. Hey, I thought, why not roll cameras. So I did and here's what happened.

What's a groove? When the drummer is locked in and is not over playing. In this episode I'll demonstrate a simple groove. Thanks David for the question.

The Vic Firth HingeStix® force drummers to hold their drumsticks correctly. Adjustable plastic swivel pads position the thumb, index finger and middle finger for the perfect fulcrum. The exact balance point is achieved every time the player picks up these sticks. Additionally, the player will develop proper finger technique and learn to feel the natural rebound of the drumstick. This all results in a smooth and relaxed approach to playing with no fear of hand fatigue. Holding the sticks incorrectly is impossible with the unique design of the HingeStix® Practice Drumsticks!

HingeStix® are offered in two of the world’s most popular models: American Custom® SD1 and American Classic® 5A. For each model, two plastic swivel pads unscrew and can be adjusted to a secondary hole location. This allows the player to choose the balance point that best suits the size of their hand.

This is my first podcast. I'm not trying to win any awards, I just want to share some things with you. I was asked to do a show on soloing so here it is. Hopefully it will give you some direction and ideas for your next drum solo.
