Style Development - Private Zoom Lessons

Develop a deeper understanding of style through focused work on sticking, phrasing, orchestration, and genre fluency.

These sessions are designed to help you move beyond imitation and develop a musical identity that is genuinely your own — one built on how you naturally approach the instrument, shape phrases, and interact with other musicians.

What To Expect

• Review of your current playing and an honest assessment of where you stand stylistically.
• Sticking work tailored to your physical tendencies — developing a sound and approach that is natural to you, not borrowed from someone else.
• Phrase development that moves you past four- and eight-bar predictability and toward musical sentences that have shape, direction, and intention.
• Orchestration work that expands how you use the full drum set — developing it as a voice in the music, not just a rhythmic foundation.
• Stylistic fluency across Rock, Funk, Jazz, Fusion, and World music — developing real command of each genre, not surface-level imitation.
• A practice plan after each session to keep your development on track.
  

Who This Is For

• Intermediate to advanced drummers whose playing feels competent but generic.
• Self-taught drummers looking for more structure and a clearer direction.
• Musicians who have reached a ceiling with their style and are ready to break through it.
• Serious players who want to sound like themselves — not like everyone else.
