About the course

Learning how to play a new instrument can be really daunting, but I’m here to make it easier. In this video, I will be teaching you the fundamentals of percussion: rock stars and jazz artists you should know, what sticks to use and how to use them, simple sticking patterns to work on coordination and skill, and the foundational vocabulary you need to know as a drummer. No matter how old you are, there is always time to start a new instrument; it’s never too late!
