New Drum Tutorial Video on YouTube

Posted by admin | Posted in Drum Tutorials | Posted on 15-02-2010

A home video taken during my teaching years in London…

One of my students, Graham Land, (one of Wales’ top players), used to video his lessons every month or so, on his handcam, so he could take it home and practice his lessons at his leisure. Kinda like his homework!

This is a little piece he recorded of me playing around with a straight 4/4 beat box thingy. Very rudimentary, but I thought you might like it.

If you do, drop us a comment, either here or on the YouTube page. We’ll try and post more of these when we have time later on this year.

Just simple rudiments applied to the kit. It ain’t rocket science!

Enjoy!

Love & Respect,

Robbie. xx
