About
DRUM ROLL… Welcome to the “Learn Rhythm” online course! The aim of this three-part course is for you to learn the 16 basic rhythmic building blocks in just THREE WEEKS. As the name suggests, these are the building blocks of all existing rhythms. You can clap them, play them on different surfaces, such as drums, tables or cushions, or play them with other instruments such as guitar or piano. If you already play an instrument, you will have already used some of these basic building blocks unconsciously. Here in this course, however, you will learn them from scratch. In the first part of the online course, you will get to know the basic building blocks and internalize them with simple clapping exercises. In the attached PDF book you will find the notation for each exercise as well as a detailed and clear explanation of how to do the exercises so that you can take part in the course even if you are a complete beginner. And of course you will find all the exercises as a video. In the second part you will learn to play the basics with drumsticks on a surface. You can use a practice pad, a drum or simply a solid surface such as a table or a cushion/pillow. You can also just use your hands and use a chair as a Cajon replacement, for example. In the third part I will show you further exercises for advanced players as well as other methods of how you can use the 16 basics. And finally, in the BONUS chapter there are exercises specifically for the drums! With all these EXERCISES you will develop a strong rhythmic foundation. Because no matter whether you already play an instrument, are interested in playing the drums or simply want to learn more: when the world gets out of rhythm, it's good to strengthen your own sense of rhythm. So: give it a try, sign up for the course, I look forward to seeing you!
