Drum Set Fundamentals
I'm excited to announce a new collaboration with the Institute for Creative Music, a web-based course to learn how to play the drum set!
Everyone is a rhythmic person--from the steady beat of your heart to the impact of your feet while you walk. Join me for an interactive course that can get you drumming in a weekend, no matter your age or experience. This course is great for first-time musicians and musicians looking to gain a foundation on another instrument (while having fun!) No music reading, just learning by listening, watching, and most of all--joining in and making music.
In this course you'll learn:
- How to coordinate your hands and feet while walking and patting to develop large-muscle awareness away from the drum set
- Posture, drum setup, and grip
- How to use your feet at the drum set
- Drum beats and fills in duple and triple meter
- How to play drum beats and fills in phrases that relate to songs you know (not just counting)
This course material is taken from Chris's years of experience teaching beginners--he actually uses this tested method with his students!
