Drum Solo Course

Ideas and Concepts for Creating Drum Solos

Welcome to the Drum Solo Course!

This course is a work in progress and is already loaded with great ideas to get you thinking about creative drum solo concepts. So far, there are three drum solos uploaded - and there is a five-part lesson that is more than an hour in length.

In this lesson, we tackle hand/foot combinations. These combinations build in complexity and also introduce independence concepts. We also refocus on the idea of "playing by motion" (specifically taught in the Groove/Swing course) to help focus motions and time.
