THE COURSE

'The Course' is our golden child! A step-by-step guide to playing the drums. Finally a comprehensive drumming course which takes the guessing out of what/how to learn and guides students step-by-step through the most effective way of learning the drums. Based on 50 years of drum teaching experience spanning two generations. This course takes you from absolute beginner to an advanced shredder with thousands of exercises strategically implemented to get you where you want to be as a player. 

The Course consists of 85 + Chapters of material. Each chapter hosts a fundamental topic with a 5-15 minute lesson on the topic followed by 10-20 Beat Exercises which are all recorded at 2 tempos with an accompanying PDF Worksheet download.

Keep in mind this is a consistently growing and evolving course, this is just iteration one! New Chapters are added weekly. I have taught this exact course to all of my previous / current students at DK Drums Academy and in most cases it takes years for students to get through iteration one! The Course Introduces songs as we learn the fundamentals featured in each track.

"Learning though DK Drums Academy has brought my playing to a new level. It has helped me develop critical skills for both my work as a drummer, as well as a full-time educator, where his program is my main teaching resource."

Daniel Gay - Full Time Drum Educator/ Drummer (Ghost Seeker)

"I learnt 85% of what I know now as a drumming from DK Drums Academy.  I'm only 4 years into my drumming journey and I'm not sure where'd I'd be without playing the drums. They changed my life."

 
Sarah Cretu - Drummer (Analogue Hope)
 

"After spending a few years under DK's guidance I'm now running my own drum teaching business, sponsored by the biggest drum brands in the world including DW Drums, Pro-Mark and Evans and I'm playing for prominent Hip Hop artist Mitchos Da Menace."
