Stephane Chamberland is an accomplished drummer and educator (who has co-authored several incredible books with Dom Famularo). We had no choice but to get him into the Drumeo studio for a full lesson about working with note groupings and subdivisions, tips for stick control and ghost notes, building cool fills with rolls, and much more (including some ideas that might fuel your guilty pleasure fills). You don’t want to miss this one!
