“I'm a relative beginner to drums in general and stumbled across this website by chance. Very glad I did as the progression stages are broken out in very logical steps and explained clearly by Matt in the videos. I'll definitely need to keep revisiting the notation and videos, but also will be looking at other courses here too. ”

“Much deeper than just a few funk beats - breaks it down through elements like 16th notes or swing. For me it improved my ghost notes considerably”

Funk

Here we are learning to play funk on the drums. Most drummers love funk because the genre is based on groove and rhythm. 

There are several key aspects to funk drumming and in this course we will study them all.

By the end you will have a solid funk drumming vocabulary and will be able to get  up, get down and get funky.

WARNING: You will also be quite a lot cooler than you currently are. That's just a by-product of being funky!
