Chad will teach you the way that Murray Spivack, who was one of the greatest teachers of all time, taught him. Chad reflects on his experience studying with him and discusses Murray’s philosophy about economy of motion, the importance of relaxation and his unique approach to the rudiments. You also learn how to read drum charts in a step-by-step course for reading rock, jazz and big band charts. Whether you’re in the studio, in rehearsal, or on stage, no matter what style of music you’re playing, the ability to read a drum chart is invaluable.
