Felix, Stuttgart
The camera settings allow for a clear view of what's being played, especially with the additional angles for the bass drum, which is a great feature.
The real-time notation marking that moves along as you play is also incredibly helpful for keeping track of the rhythm.
Ultimately, reaching that moment of success is what makes it exciting and keeps you motivated to continue!
Markus, Garmisch
David's video course is perfect for beginners, even for those with absolutely no prior experience in drumming. 🥁
Each lesson is well-structured and builds up logically over time.
Every exercise is performed at three different speeds, allowing students to play along according to their personal learning progress.
