Yo! If you're tired of not knowing what to practice on the drums and wasting time in the practice room, this is for you! Today I want to share a drum lesson and practice room concept that will help you improve at playing drums, even if you don't have a teacher. If I had to put a label on it, I'd say this is more of an intermediate drum lesson, but beginner drummers are welcome to learn from this, too! These drumming concepts in the practice room will help accelerate your progress without wasting time wondering what you should practice or practicing drums inefficiently. This drumming system helped me get better faster, and I'm excited to share it with my fellow drummers.

I look forward to providing more free drum lessons and drumming concepts to help you become a better drummer in less time!
For my drummer friends looking to improve your hand speed and investigate some aspects of hand technique... this is for you! Whether you're a beginner or intermediate drummer or maybe you've been playing for a long time, I hope this podcast gives you some things to think about when going down the rabbit hole of hand speed and drumming technique.
I also give some thoughts on finger vs wrist technique and general hand technique for drums.
Last week I went on vacation to Mexico with my beautiful wife, and while I was there, all I brought were sticks and a drum pad. I took advantage of the time away from a drum set to focus on my hands. I rediscovered, in my opinion, the fastest way to develop your single stroke roll.
