The Beat, The Body & The Brain II - Companion Lessons

Work through The Beat, The Body, & The Brain II directly with the author — at the level your playing actually needs.

These sessions are designed to help you move beyond counting your way through odd meters and develop the kind of deep physical familiarity that lets you play musically in 5, 6, and 7 — not just navigate them.

What To Expect

• An honest assessment of where you are in the material and what's getting in the way.
• Focused work on specific rhythms and exercises from the book that need clarification or deeper development.
• 4-way coordination challenges broken down physically — so your body understands what your brain already knows.
• Guidance on translating written exercises into musical application on your drum set.
• A practice plan after each session so you leave knowing exactly what to work on next.

Who This Is For

• Drummers working through the book who have hit a concept that isn't clicking yet.
• Players who want to establish the right foundation from the start, before habits form.
• Intermediate drummers ready to open up their rhythmic vocabulary beyond common time.
• Anyone who wants to work through the material with the person who wrote it.
