Basic Rock Drumming, Chad’s Way

Take what you have learned to the next level with RHCP drummer, Chad Smith. Chad’s course is unique in that it is basic rock beats, similar to the course, “Learn Your Beginning Rock Beats and Fills,” but Chad has you doing them in a much more advanced way. You will use the “Outside Release®” which is a prerequisite to this course. The outside release motion is one of the secrets to being a great drummer, as it allows you to not only play a beat, but make it feel good. A good feel is one of the most difficult concepts to teach.
