In playing a hybrid Drum Set there are three main challenges: 1) Getting used to the specific response and rebound of electronic pads. 2) Effortlessly moving back and forth between acoustic and electronic drums. 3) Playing rhythms that involve both acoustic and electronic sounds simultaneously. The exercises we are going to work on are devised exactly to address these situations, and help us become comfortable no matter what the setup.

Today entry level gear is so affordable that there is no reason why we shouldn’t set up our own personal studio in the space where we practice. Let's discover how to start building it.

Some of the biggest challenges we have to overcome in order to play drums with great technique are those related to orchestrating ideas around the Drum Set. This program uses the 9 stroke roll to explore progressive studies which will turn us into agile drummers who aren’t affected by different rebounds and positions.

The chain of sound influences the quality of the final result according to two principles: 1) It’s the weakest link that most affects the overall quality. 2) The first links have much greater weight. Let's discover how to record beautiful sounding drum tracks using this concept.

In this lesson we are going to discover and practice the powerful principles that, while working on a 9 stroke roll, will take our drum technique to a whole new level.
