About Ben
I am all about feel. As drummers It is our job to provide that great grooving foundation for the band, in whatever context we find ourselves in, I am here to work with you and your goals through that lense. We will pick short, mid and long term musical goals that match your interests and design a game plan for you to reach them. This goes for absolute beginners to more advanced students.
I love drums and music because there is always more to learn and experience. Personal expression is the name of the game here and every student is different. I am excited to help you obtain the skills and perspective needed to further your musical journey :)

About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
For beginners, we will identify two albums that you are interested in and pick out a list of musical eliments that inspire you, these can include the groove, songwriting or even the chops! We will then use this as a lense in which to study basic drum Skills such as Technique, Coordination and a sense of timing and groove.
For Intermeditate Students we will continue to work on these basics, however we will be shifting the focus more towards feel and less from basics. Assignments will include recording yourself playing along to songs and disscussing how to create musical parts. We will begin analysing an array of drummers and how their choices effect the music and what you can take away from them. Technical studies will begin to become more focused towards the musical assighnments that you pick. If something sounds bad we'll figure it out!
For advanced students, this process will continue but I want to get into the emotional reasons why you are playing what you are playing. We will discuss the effects that different material has on the listener and how to use this knowlege to your advantage in various situations. What makes a listener want to dance? What makes them Excited? Sad? Etc. We need to start to think about why we are doing what we are doing rather than just going through the motions. We will also talk about networking and gaining proffessional experience and how to provide what is required in many musical situations. Assighments will be similar to the intermediate level but we will be going into more depth behind your musical choices, and the influences that should be inspiring them.
