5.2.3.1 - d-Wizz' Online Academy of Membranophonic Instruction

WELCOME!
It is truly my pleasure to share my love of all things membranophonic (and a few idiophonics as well :-)) online. In this special section of my website, I have tried to explain the basic techniques needed to play the drums.

You will find a few drum patterns in full music score form, which form the foundation of most of my playing. You can also listen to a MIDI file of each pattern as you follow the score on screen. Later, I intend to add more complex grooves and fills here, with possible LIVE drum audio examples, so make sure you check this page regularly!

OK, let's get started then!

Lesson 1: Basics of Music Theory
Lesson 2: Parts of the Drum Kit
Lesson 3: Basic Techniques of Drumming
Lesson 4: Basic Drum Kit Technique
Lesson 5: Reading Drum Score
Lesson 6: Eighth-note Grooves
Lesson 7: Sixteenth-note Grooves
Lesson 8: Mixing It Up COMING SOON!
Lesson 9: Tricks and Tips COMING SOON!
