We all love Vinnie, and there are no words to describe what he has done for drumming in the last four decades. I picked one of his most recognizable licks, and we are going to use it to explore 30 different ways to study his style. The phrase is simply based on 7 notes: flam, right, left, flam, right, left, left.

One of the main elements that drummers need to consider to achieve a thorough knowledge of drum theory, is definitely the study of metric modulation. In this free booklet I'd like to share with you an in-depth analysis of all the concepts necessary to grasp how metric modulation works, and even the mathematical formula to derive the exact tempo changes involved.

There is one main aspect that separates the drum set from most other musical instruments: we play it using all four limbs simultaneously. A classic mistake many drummers make in their formative years is focusing exclusively on pure hand and foot technique, assuming that eventually all parts will work together automatically, just by playing. Unfortunately overlooking the interaction between upper and lower limbs is one of the main causes of lack of groove and bad time feel in drummers. That’s where coordination and independence studies come into play. The book is arranged in clear sections, one for each main topic. In total it's more than 130 pages and 5 hours of videos, and I'm sure in it you are going to find all you need to smooth out all your coordination problems, and easily correct even the slightest friction between the limbs. In this free excerpt I'd like to share with you 55 examples picked from the 1500+ exercises included in the method. These will help you quickly take your coordination and independence to another level, and also give you an idea of how effective this approach is.

We hear all the time how important it is to build a strong foundation, no matter what the subject is. Actually, in drumming this is literally true. We tend to forget that the feet don’t directly control the beater in the same way the hands do. They have to interact with a much more complex interface, full or leverages, springs and mechanisms: the drum pedal. Not to mention the additional layer due to the shoes we wear, which is another barrier between the foot and the drumhead. The answer to this situation is to develop control, with in-depth studies that go much further than the usual Bass Drum and Hi-Hat stuff, and are designed to develop aspects related to dynamics, stickings, accents, foot positioning and achieving a range of different sounds. That’s why I have tried to organize the materials collected over the course of many years and arrange them in a comprehensive, easy to follow and effective course. The book is arranged in clear sections, one chapter for each topic. You will be guided step by step through a powerful set of exercises, which will give you immediate results. In this free excerpt I'd like to share with you 28 examples picked from the 500+ exercises included in the method. I wanted to arrange this booklet so that it's like a mini course, that you can use to see how effective this approach is.
