4-way Coordination using Stick Control
Do you feel like you want to improve your drumming to take your band and your music to the next level?
Drummers now days are called upon to be highly musically interactive with the other musicians in modern jazz ensembles. Tony Williams was (and still is) one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time and he is one of the very few who shaped the way the drums are played today.
In this course I will share with you some of the 4-way co-ordination ideas Tony Williams and so many great drummers who followed have practiced and developed to create the music we have grown to love.
I believe upon completing this course you will
* have more control with your drum playing
* have the skills to be more musically interactive
* be a better drummer in general.
