Welcome to Jason Rullo’s comprehensive beginner drum course! This course is designed for anyone who wishes to learn to play the drum set or would simply like to brush up on the basics. Starting with learning how to read basic drum notation, it will take you through the detailed steps of how to hold the drum sticks, proper body mechanics and how to approach and play the drum set. We will begin to learn the essential drum rudiments which are considered the alphabet of drumming. The rudiments are taught here with very deliberate stick motions and focused technique. I have been blessed to study with many well known drummers while studying many techniques and styles, including Afro-Cuban, Rock, Prog, Metal, Jazz, Funk and more. The techniques passed along go back to the drum legends of the early 20th century as well as modern techniques that have evolved over the years. Also demonstrated is the application of the rudiments to the drum set and turning them into grooves and fills.
These exercises are meant to be practiced slowly at first, only very gradually building speed as you can perform each thing properly. Speed comes with time so be patient. I have been playing for longer than I care to admit here, (talking decades!), so don’t think it should sound the same right away! So yes, be patient and have fun!
This course lays the foundation for a lifetime of rewarding drumming.
Who this course is for:
- anyone who wants to learn to play the drums
- aspiring drummers and anyone wanting to learn the fundamental techniques I use.
- any drummer wishing to disect and correct basic technique
