This short video really captures my philosophy of teaching about drum set playing. Here at grooveKSQ I don’t just train drummers and percussionists, I train musicians. There is a massive difference.
grooveFEST is Coming Soon!
grooveFEST is a unique performance event that features both students and professional musicians alike side by side. grooveFEST will take place right here at grooveKSQ on Sunday, December 1, 2019 at 6:00pm. Seating is limited to 50 guests, so please buy your tickets now. Once we are sold out, there will be no standing room tickets added.
This event will be part student recital, part concert and will provide the audience with a unique musical experience that is percussion based and unlike anything you may have seen before.

This afternoon I had one of the Charley Wilcoxon books out to work through some finger control exercises with a student. This stuff can be really fun to work through, especially if you can work them at low volumes! Control is the key as always....
Nothing fancy: a measure of single 16th notes followed by a measure of single 32nd notes. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
