This is the full Groove Technique and Musical Drumming method in its original format, and at a fraction of the price.

If you would like to have the whole method in PDF book-form on your tablet or laptop, you've come to the right place.

You won’t have the video explanations, but for serious students of the instrument, or for ‘old school’ learners, the written page is available here in the original book version, Groove Technique and Musical Drumming. Everything that you get online you'll find here, and in a somewhat different order. The pdf is set up to have facing pages with text explanations and the related notation. It is easy to get around using integrated links to the table of contents.

I will teach you how to look at the drums from two different perspectives: technique and groove. In part 1, "Technique", I begin with the physicality of drumming; the rudiments, phrases and motions we use to create our language of rhythm, working from beginner to advanced. In part 2, "Groove", you get into playing beats, different styles of music, interpretation and musicality. As you progress though both these parts simultaneously, you'll begin applying one to the other.

Groove, Technique and Musical Drumming is not one of those books with page after page of rudiments, or 1001 rock beats. The method instead works to give you the skeleton keys for unlocking and releasing the drummer within you.

I believe you will develop both an extensive drumming vocabulary and a true feel for music on the drum set, resulting in a satisfying means of personal expression on your chosen instrument.
