One of the rudiments which does not get as much attention as it should is the Triple Stroke Roll (this is Rudiment #5 on the Percussive Arts Society list). I wrote Magic 3s to help a student who is working on the skill. Be patient with this one and start slowly (i.e. 85bpm), then increase as you are able. Good luck!

grooveFEST Spring '24 Recap - Part I
Thank you to all who came out to support and cheer the students on at our friends and family performance yesterday here at the studio. Our studio community is strong!
The students all worked very hard to prepare and it definitely showed! Below is a photo gallery. The video content will be edited this week and that will be shared when ready.
New Tees!
Well well… new tees are on the way and we are LOVING this new logo design that you will start to see across the studio’s online channels. Drumset logo design by Sarah Tuk. Layout and production by Steadfast Screenprinting.
Order now and your shirt(s) will be ready for pick up on April 28. Initial supply limited.
Got Pro Audio? Now you do!
The studio is proud to announce an expansion of our services: commercial audio production. The workstation makeover was done in part to facilitate this. With the addition of the first of several Electro Voice RE-20s (pictured), the studio now has vocal production capabilities on par with broadcast radio and television.
If you have needs for professional voice overs, or are interested in learning podcasting or are a spoken word artist, or are interested in creating audio content for your business website or business content, contact us to talk about your project. We can produce audio content with male or female voice talent in English and in Spanish.
Our production portfolio is available upon request.
First Take Challenge: Alex Z. "Easy Money" (Billy Joel)
Working drummers often have to learn songs quickly, and then perform them well for an audience. This is a skill set that we work on here at grooveKSQ. Watch the video to see this concept in action!
