Lessons from Drummer Magazine

I’m very happy to be writing a monthly column for Drummer magazine.The idea is to start right from the beginning and take you through a step-by-step course on kit playing, reading, rudiments and stickings.

each original article will be available here about a month behind the magazine. Space is obviously limited in any magazine, so here are the media files together with additional exercises and patterns for you to download and work on. Enjoy!

Below you will find links to each page of lessons, there are 20 lessons on each page, the latest lesson will be posted here every month!
