Welcome to my Ergonomic Drum Setup course!

In this course, I will take you through every conceivable facet of setting up your drums and explain the reasons why this aspect is so important. From your seat to the pedals to every drum and for every reason, I will show you how proper heights, angles, and spacing, can help you attain your vision, protect you from injury and help maximize every note.

While this course is perfect and vital for beginning and intermediate drummers, it is also a great way for experienced drummers to reevaluate and standardize their setup. I have come to realize that without attention to this detail, at every set up, I risk making it more difficult to play with the freedom I want. This is an essential course that, once mastered and always thought about, will help allow you to technically and musically play as you envision. It will also help achieve positive results when you get to the technique course and many other courses in the school.

Questions? Comments? You can leave both under each individual lesson and you can also post in the private Facebook group. Don't hesitate to show us your own setup! Dave and his staff are monitoring the school from both angles and you may find others members' comments helpful!
