Click each of the play-buttons above to hear what some of our students are saying about the Rock Drumming System!

• Have you ever heard one of your favorite drummers play a unique beat or fill and wonder what they did, or how they were able to be so creative on the drums?
• Are you sick and tired of buying the same old drum books and videos only to find that they aren't "complete", and don't seem to be teaching the beats you want to learn? 
• Do you wish you could learn at your own pace and pick the exact drum parts that you want to learn and master? Wouldn't it be nice if you could have an entire library of beats and fills to choose from, so you could pick a favorite and learn EXACTLY how to play it?
  
• When you think of how you will be playing the drums a few months or years from now - what do you imagine? Will you be playing the same repetitive beats, or will you do something to be sure you never become a boring drummer?

• Hand Technique – You will learn exactly how to hold the drumsticks for maximum speed, power, and control. This is essential information for drummers of all skill levels, and this training pack covers it in a step-by-step lesson. You'll get great close-ups and explanations of every single important detail, so you can be 100% confident in your stick technique!
• Beginner Drum Beats & Fills – The beginner DVD & workbook pack covers over 115 patterns that you can immediately use in your everyday drumming. They are all designed to slowly build in complexity, so you never have to learn something that is far more complicated that a previous exercise. We'll show you exactly how to get started, and then where to go from there. This simple and "progressive" teaching style makes learning the drums fun and easy!
• Speed & Endurance – Do you want to learn to play with more speed? More importantly, do you want to have the endurance to maintain that speed while remaining loose and relaxed? This training pack will show you the exact techniques and exercises you need to get real results!
• Drum Rudiments – The Rock Drumming System covers the essential drum rudiments, so you can begin implementing them within your drumming right away. These patterns are the building blocks to virtually everything you can possibly play on the drums. Master them, and you will see a dramatic improvement in your overall creativity and control!
• Practice Routines – With so much great information all packed into one home-study course, the lessons can become a little overwhelming. Therefore, we've included detailed information on what to practice in order to consistently improve your everyday drumming. No more guessing what you should be practicing next. You'll know exactly what you need to do in order to improve!
• Drum Tuning & Setup – Playing the drums is far more enjoyable when you are playing great sounding drums. Therefore, we've included an entire section on drum tuning and setup. We'll show you how to tune each type of drum individually, and then give you tips on how to setup your drums. No two drummers are the same, so these tips will help you discover the adjustments that work best for your specific situation (yes, we even cover the much debated topic of hi-hat positioning)!
• Bass Drum Technique – Developing proper bass drum technique is essential for drummers of all skill levels. This training system includes multiple lessons on bass drum technique, bass drum speed, limb independence, single pedal beats/fills/patterns, double bass drumming, and much more. Everything is covered in extreme detail to ensure you can achieve maximum potential!
• Intermediate Drum Beats & Fills – When you are ready to move on to more challenge drum patterns, the Intermediate DVD & workbook provides a range of new material. You'll learn over 300 ready-to-use patterns that progress in difficulty. Everything you learned in the beginner section will be taken to a whole new level. Mastering all the material in this section is sure to make you an in-demand drummer!
• Drum Soloing & Improvisation – Playing creative drum solos can be one of the most rewarding experiences on the drum set. So, the Rock Drumming System includes multiple lessons to help you develop your ability to play unique and creative drum solos. You'll learn dozens of pre-built soloing patterns that you can start with, and then we provide you with some excellent tips to help you come up with some unique patterns of your own (that's where the real fun is)!
• Advanced Drum Beats & Fills – Want to truly challenge your drumming abilities? The advanced DVD & workbook pack includes over 180 patterns that are sure to challenge even the most skilled drummers. You'll learn complicated beats, fills, and solo-building patterns that will dramatically boost your independence and interdependence. Fortunately, these patterns continue to follow our unique "progressive" training system to ensure a smooth learning experience!
• Playing Odd-Time Signatures – Many of today's progressive rock bands make use of odd-time signatures. Therefore, this drum lessons pack includes multiple lessons covering this topic. You'll learn how these are different from standard time-signatures, and you'll have the opportunity to learn dozens of relevant beats and fills!
• Drum Play-Alongs – Are you looking forward to the day that you will be playing the drums along with a real band? Well, this home study course includes 10 complete play-along songs (for ALL SKILL LEVELS). You'll have the opportunity to watch a professional studio drummer demonstrate each one on DVD, and then you can take them to your drum set. The play-along audio CD has all 10 songs with the drum-tracks removed. You can choose to follow along with the original drum parts (as detailed in the included workbook), or come up with beats and fills of your own!

"The highlight of my experience, was being able to immediately use the beats I learned on the video in my everyday drumming..."

I love the multi angles used. And the 2 different Tempos. They make it so easy to learn the patterns. My chops have really improved since I have been using the system.

I learned that some of the simple patterns really sound great. As a "busy" drummer who likes to play as many notes as possible - hearing a simpler pattern, and how effective it is, rocks!

It has opened up my drumming. I now play patterns without thinking, some of which I struggled to get with for many years. It is the absolute best, and quickest way, to get better.

"I learned more by watching the beginner dvd than in 4 lessons from my old teacher...and the dvd was a fraction of the cost of lessons!"

I liked the way he speaks clearly and concisely and gets straight to the point. I also like the way he says "This is the way I do this...but you do what's comfortable". I really like this because it give you some freedom to develop your own style, but at the same time understanding why he suggested a particular way. Basically I just like his down to earth attitude, not like my old drum teacher. I learned more by watching the beginner dvd than in 4 lessons from my old teacher...and the dvd was a fraction of the cost of lessons!

I was really impressed with the multi angle video. It really broke down all the beats and allowed my to really understand what was going on. That's exactly why I got the Rock Drumming System and it was awesome as expected. I think my favorite part was learning complicated tom fills. Not only is the multi angle video great but the notes were on the screen, which allowed me just to have a tv screen in front of the drums so I could just play along.

I've improved out of sight! I've noticed I play in a more relaxed manner and have way more energy. Seeing how Jared so effortlessly plays faster tempos made me really take notice. I've definitely noticed my rolls are much faster. I was very narrow minded when I took up drumming, just wanting to play fast punk beats! However, after seeing all the awesome beats Jared has put on the dvds has got me out of that tunnel vision to explore new territory, which is really exciting when you nail a new groove.

"I've progressed a lot with my single and double stroke rolls within just a week of using it...."

So far I've only begun the first book (beginner book), but I can see improvement in my drumming already. I love the multiple angles that the DVD shows, and the presentation and materials makes it easy to learn. I'm excited to progress to the next book, but I still need a bit more practice with the first one!

Being able to watch the video (with the multiple angles) has helped me tremendously with my rolls. I've progressed a lot with my single and double stroke rolls within just a week of using it.

I'm able to incorporate the drumming basics I've learned so that I practice with purpose and can actually notice my progress.

"Using the Rock Drumming System has not only made me a better drummer, but now the whole band sounds tighter too!"

The program has a very personal approach that makes it very easy to follow along with. Jared takes you through the motions one step at a time, with simple, clear, concise instruction. You can't go wrong with this System!

Using the Rock Drumming System makes you aware of techniques that even an advanced drummer can benefit from. By breaking things down, seemingly complicated pattern become easy all of a sudden!

Since I started using the Rock Drumming System, I have noticed my meter is more solid, and my overall playing has improved immensely! Not only have I noticed the difference, but everyone else has noticed too! Using the Rock Drumming System has not only made me a better drummer, but now the whole band sounds tighter too! I can now play the song, instead of concentrating on playing the drums! Everything just falls into place after using the Rock Drumming System!

- Chris Brown St. Louis

"Anyone serious about drumming needs this course... it covers it all!"

This is one of the most comprehensive teaching systems i have ever come across. I can't recommend it enough. Anyone serious about drumming needs this course... it covers it all! Way to go Jared!

I found myself being able to read sheet music better... something i was never really comfortable doing and actually shied away from.

I am smoother and more comfortable in my abilities. I have a much better foundation now than i had before.

- Mike Cayen Canmore, AB

"only completed the beginner section but have noticed a dramatic difference in my jamming..."

Clear and precise instruction. I like the way it is presented both slow and fast. The beats and all the variations. It has also given me a formal way to practice and set goals for myself.

I have only completed the beginner section but have noticed a dramatic difference in my jamming to my favorite songs. I can also sit down and practice much better than before.

- Sam J. M Fountain Hills, AZ

"I think the DVD's are excellent. I also feel that the learning pace is perfect..."

I think the DVD's are excellent. I also feel that the learning pace is perfect... at least for me.

The printed material was right on. Also, the camera angles are perfect. Sometimes you hear something and you think it is played one way, then you see it and you think, man was I off.

- Chuck Mancini Horsham, PA

"...the playalong DVD/CD can really help solidify your timing and band presence."

Having the lessons on DVD makes it easy to view the lessons while sitting at the drum set using a portable DVD player. I've yet to completely get through it all, but the playalong DVD/CD can really help solidify your timing and band presence. I'm learning to handle new and more difficult grooves. I've also noticed an increase in my rudimental speed.

- Peter Panzini Lancaster, PA

"He tells you what to do, he demonstrates the task in slow and fast tempos and then he lets you do it."

Jared is a great teacher - He has something for each style (listening, seeing, and doing) of learning - He tells you what to do, he demonstrates the task in slow and fast tempos and then he lets you do it.

I believe it is a complete system and that I have more confidence when I practice. I notice a tendency to want to get something right - mastery.

- Myke Rost Altadena, CA

"I'm also more aware of what other drummers are doing - its like I've learned a new language and I can understand what is being said."

The video is especially easy to understand; the multiple camera angles make it simple to see what is being taught; Jared's style is very easygoing; he covers everything I need to know; he gives some great tips.

The speed at which I increased my skills surprised me. I especially liked that I learned that any simple beat can be turned into a complex triple or 8th note rhythm or you can even try a back beat if you're feeling adventurous.

The breadth and depth of my talent has undoubtedly increased. I'm also more aware of what other drummers are doing - its like I've learned a new language and I can understand what is being said.

- Terry Hall Lakewood, NJ

"I immediately was able to play something with confidence..."

Very easy to follow for a beginner. Like the way the material is presented in a logical fashion and order. Also helpful to have the written notes to follow as well as instruction on the dvd.

I immediately was able to play something with confidence. I could repeat the rhythm as demonstrated to me on the dvd. Gave me a sense of accomplishment and I felt good about the progress I made with the program. definitely worth the money.

I can do a very good roll now. I hold the sticks with confidence. Using the proper techniques makes a real difference in my performance. My wife even complimented me on my improvement after working with the dvds for one day.

- Paul Argereow North Yarmouth, Maine

"...i would have to say these were the best instructional dvds i've seen."

The simplicity of your instructions and demonstrations - i would have to say these were the best instructional dvds i've seen.

My technique has improved heaps, i practice with a metronome every night, i'm getting quicker, smoother, practice every day and recently i've attained a job as a drum teacher.
