Building A Musical Vocabulary
This course includes concepts you can use to get the most out of what you can currently say on the drums. I am uploading the finished lessons so some of you can get a head start on this course. This is the course I created for Drumeo, but it is longer and more in depth than what I was able to record for them. The lessons include; 20 Must Know Rhythms, One Beat Modifiers, Displacement, Motion, Expanding and Collapsing Rhythms and Rudiments, Odd Groupings, and Playing Over The Bar Line. All of these concepts will work nicely with the other courses here.
