Just Some of What You'll Learn:

  • The 5 Pillars of Drumming will become the system you can always rely on when you want to understand what to work on with your drumming. We'll teach you the system and you'll be able to use it for the rest of your life!
  • Play-Alongs are included in every module of the course so you can learn by playing with real professional musicians.
  • How to develop your inner time sense so that you can play steady, metronomic time—all the time.
  • What are the drum rudiments and how can they help you with your hand technique?  You’ll get an overview of the rudiments and a PDF all 40 of them.
  • All the details of how to play the bass drum pedal efficiently, effectively and with balance, grace and power.
  • What is a rim shot? What is the side stick sound? And how do you get these two sounds out of your snare drum?
  • You know that “weird” way that jazz drummers hold the stick in their left hand? I’m going to show you how to do that. In case you didn’t know, It’s called “Traditional Grip.”
  • You’ll get a musical exam that will tell you if you have the maturity and discipline to play a beat over and over again without changing or adding anything superfluous.
  • Every tiny detail of your hand technique; from the physical movements to the positioning of your arms, hands, wrists and fingers will be explained and demonstrated.
  • Every single exercise I play for you will have accompanying rhythmic notation on screen and an opaque red bar will move through that notation as I play–so you’ll see how what I’m playing lines up with the notation.
  • What are the first 8 rudiments you should learn? And what are the Drum Rudiments, anyway? How do they help you? 
  • You’ll go in-depth with independence, so you will have freedom to play what you wish with your left hand and bass drum foot while maintaining a steady/unvarying cymbal rhythm.
  • Lots of practical and great-sounding drum fills you should know in order to add spice to what you’re playing in exactly the right places.
  • How to control the relative volume of the different parts of the drum set that you are playing simultaneously and how those volumes affect your ability to emotionally move an audience with the beats that you play.
  • How to read drum music: from the very beginning. Even if you’ve never read a note of music in your life.
  • How to gain the ability and fluidity to place your crash cymbal hits wherever you want to within your grooves.
  • The rhythmic scale: an exercise that will have you shifting back and forth between all the rhythmic metrics in music—an essential skill for the drummer whose job is to be the rhythmatist!
  • How to work with and play along with a metronome.
  • The hi-hat and all of the different sounds you can get from it–and how to control those sounds and incorporate them into the beats you play.
  • What is open-handed playing and why do great drummers like Simon Philips and Billy Cobham play that way?
  • How to use your left foot—by closing the hi hats—as an additional unique voice on the drum set.

What Students are Saying...

Simply the Best

I found Mark about a year ago when I started my drumming endeavor earnestly. I have used several different online programs and individual teacher instruction and Mark is simply the best. Mark is very well educated and it comes through in his approach to teaching. His online lessons reflect that same articulate guidance and I highly recommend Mark to all beginner (and even intermediate) drummers.

--Fred Hemmer

This Has Been One of my Best Creative Learning Experiences.

Mark brings an understanding to his lessons that will help drummers achieve a style and skill set that will elevate them to their full potential. His patience and understanding of every genre make his lessons fun and low stress, and easy to understand. This has been one of my best creative learning experiences. I highly recommend it to all drummers.

--Jamie Schmitz

I'm Thoroughly Impressed...

I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of knowledge I've gained over this past month...however, it never felt overwhelming. The knowledge I've gained has literally opened my ears to a new dimension of music appreciation.

--Chad D.

If You Are Thinking of Learning to Play the Drums, This is the Place to Start 

I had been reluctant to join because of my age (61) but Mark assured me it would be fine. He has the energy and enthusiasm all great teachers have and he taught a lot of material in a short period of time.

-- Paul Norton 

Your Video Demonstrations Are Easy to Follow

I had zero drumming knowledge or experience before your course. I'm slowly working through Module 3; your video explanations and demonstrations with the written sheet music are very clear and easy to follow. With your course, my drumming knowledge is on a steep climb.

--Rochelle Yee

Only Good Things From BANG

Trying something new at a not-so-young age can be intimidating, especially if you have NO SKILLS whatsoever. The beginner course was a great way to convince me to practice and keep moving forward. Only good things from BANG. 

--Karen Reiter

The Beginner's Course Was Amazing 

And I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn to play the drums. I cannot recommend it enough.

--Alana Barnes

Mark, You're The Best!

You're a fantastic teacher. I can't wait until I move beyond the beginner level so that I can take advantage of everything you bring to the table. I'll work hard to get there in the meantime.

--John Doan
