All Drum students will learn to perform various compositions and drumming styles using "music minus drums" audio CD's. As part of their drumset studies they are recorded in a studio session laying down drum tracks along with the "music minus drums" CD. The studio performance is then mixed down and mastered to CD to document their musical progress. Also each private studio lesson is recorded live onto CD for the student to keep and have for their home practice and review. In-home instruction is also available for private students.

The students will develop musicality and learn fundamental playing techniques as well as rhythmic memory. On the 8th and final workshop the group will record a studio CD of the WORLD DRUM FUSIONrhythmic compositions that they have created and learned over the previous 7 workshops. There will be 8 weekly workshops, 2-hours each.
Besides the students having alot of fun with the group, a deep musical appreciation of World Drumming will be gained as well as a new found knowledge of different drumming styles and their origins. They will develop the skills of being in a band and achieving an artistic goal working together as a group to record a studio performance CD at the end of the workshop series. Each student will receive a produced CD to keep with their picture on it with credits and info documenting the groups achievement. Study materials and hand percussion instruments will be supplied. Students are welcome to bring their own instruments as well. Workshops are limited to a max. of 8 students for intense group study dynamics and one-on-one interaction.
