Lionel was one of my favourite all-time teachers, not just drum teachers. He is an amazing communicator and genuinely always cared about my progression as a drummer. I highly recommend any drummer to get lessons from Lionel if you can.
The single paradiddle is my favorite drum rudiment to play around the kit. You can play it at all different tempos and note values, which makes it applicable in ANY musical setting.
The biggest thing to remember when learning how to tune your drums is that tuning is a personal preference. There is no right or wrong, just different. For example, I tuned my snare drum a little bit looser then Dave tunes his. Nothing wrong with that, just different.
In this video lesson, me and Dave talked about the different hand to feet combinations that you can instantly apply to your everyday drumming.
In this live drum lesson, me and Dave talked about how to develop your single stroke roll speed around the kit. We gave seven exercises that you can take to your kit immediately to help build speed.
In the Live Drum Lessons section on FreeDrumLessons.com there is a sign up form if you’d like to be notified of when the live drum lessons will be taking place. Alternatively, you can follow me on Facebook or Twitter and get up-to-the-minute updates.
