In this lesson, Mark Guiliana will teach you a quick concept that one of his favorite drummers, and former teacher, Dan Weiss taught him almost 20 years ago. This exercise focuses on sending each of your hands on a separate path around the drum kit and circling back to the snare drum. Everything you’ll be playing is single strokes!
These concepts will allow you to discover new orchestration paths around the kit yourself, and ultimately expanding your freedom and ability to come up with new drum parts.
