The
secrets to playing drums by ear even if you don't
have any prior knowledge or past training.

take your drumming to the next level if you already
play well.
Advanced players: How to instantly incorporate fancy
licks and tricks into your drum playing.
If you're truly
serious about playing drums by ear (...or drastically improving your
current skills), then I've got the answers you've been
looking for on this page.
I
warn you, however...
...Because this
isn't a site for people who think they'll just magically pick up
drum sticks and play like a pro in a few hours.
But if you have the dedication, commitment, and drive to
follow a few easy fundamental techniques and secrets, then you'll
benefit tremendously from this site. I guarantee you.
You've
probably come here because:
Yes
You want to
learn drums by ear but have no idea
where to start.
You've been
intimidated by the drums and could never
play a steady beat in the past.
You play
the drums decently but want to learn the
"real" secrets to sounding like a pro.
You
consider yourself a good drummer but
want to learn more industry tricks, fills,
and grooves.
You don't
want to pay $30 an hour for lessons and
would rather learn at your own pace.
You play
with or know a drummer who could benefit
from the step-by-step training found on this
site.
If any of these sound
like you, then I encourage you to read every single word on this
page to find out how to finally stop wishing you sounded
professional and start LIVING UP TO IT --- TODAY!
Let's get started!
There are FOUR primary ways to learn drums by
ear...
Hear
and audio explanation of this section >>>
1)
You can hire a teacher
WARNING: This
will cost you about $30 per lesson. At one lesson per week, you're
looking at $120/month or over $1400/year --- and these are modest
estimates. And this is only if you can find a good
teacher that knows exactly the style of drums you want to
learn.
Someone who can show
you the shortcuts, tricks, and secrets and not purposefully take
"their" time so that it takes you months to get to a decent level.
Nothing against
private teachers. If you can afford it and you've got a great
instructor, then you're definitely on the right track.
2)
You can figure it out on your own by "trial" and "error"
Believe it or not,
this can actually cost you more than hiring a teacher
in the long run.
Just
think about it...
Have you ever heard a
seasoned professional talk about how long it took them to get to the
level they're now at?
10... 20... 30 years?
If you've got that
kind of time, go for it! The "school-of-hard-knocks" is the route
many musicians have gone.
...Not because they
preferred this route but because a lot of the information that is
available today was not available when they first got
started.
3)
You can shed with other drummers
If you're blessed to
be around talented, professional drummers, then you'll definitely be
exposed to their techniques and tricks --- And you'll get better
naturally because of it.
Unfortunately, this is
not the case for most struggling musicians.
In fact, you may find
other musicians reluctant to share techniques and tips with you.
"I got to the top
on my own and so should others," is the mentality a lot of top
musicians share. Don't get me wrong... there's some generous
musicians out there and if you can shed with them, you'll get to the
next level at lot faster!
4)
You can use self-help material to learn at your own pace
The last (and best way
in my opinion) is to use self-help resources like the ones featured
on this page to learn at a comfortable pace.
You
not only save a ton of money, but you control how slow --- or
how fast you progress. If you want to start all over, that's your
decision. If you want to skip ahead, you have full control.
This is the approach
hundreds of thousands of musicians (if not millions) have gravitated
towards since the advent of the internet.
This is the
"information age."
Gone are the days
where you have to depend on others to show you stuff... beg fellow
drummers to show you tricks and techniques, and pay for hundreds of
dollars in lessons.
Introducing My Good Friend, Kennieth "Bam" Alexander
Kennieth
"Bam" Alexander has played for just about everyone in the industry.
He's toured with a countless number of artists in all genres and
leads workshops locally in his community.
He's been playing
drums for over 20 years... since the tender age of 2 and has
certainly been through the "school of hard knocks."
Having taught himself
from scratch (and later enrolling in a music studies program in
college), Bam knows both worlds --- how to read sheet music and most
importantly, how to play by ear.
I
was so impressed by Kennieth that I personally invited him to
be our drum instructor --- and you'll be glad I did as he shows you,
step by step, all the techniques, tricks, and secrets that took him
over 20 years to master!

"Early
Bird" Super Bonus #1
Unlimited
Online Access to our "Secrets To Their Playing"
Private Video Archives ($39 value).
In
2006, we traveled all across the west coast getting
exclusive interviews with some of the top musicians
around. The best part is that we videotaped ALL of the
interviews and have never released them until now! What
was supposed to be released separately for $10/month is
now available to the first 350 musicians to order our
Hear & Play Drums Collection for free.
You'll find
interviews of drummers, percussionists, keyboardists,
organists, and more!
Over 2 hours
of online footage at your fingertips!
"Early
Bird" Super Bonus #2
(Extended!!!)
One Live Training Session With The Hear & Play Team of
Instructors ($24.95 Value).
This was already
conducted live but we've decided to make the online
recording available online for the next 350 students.
Thanks
to new technology, we've employed a service that allows
us to have live events online. It's called a webcast.
Actually, the better term for it is a "simulcast"
because it allows participants to either call in on a
phone using a special number or listen
online by simply clicking a button and turning up their
computer speakers.
The first 350 people will get to join this live
session for free. You'll get a virtual front-row
seat to enter our "online classroom" environment where
you can ask questions with the click of a button (by
simply typing and submitting to our "Question & Answer"
queue) and much more.
In 2005, I held 7 teleclasses (we didn't have this new
technology so every participant had to call in back
then) that ranged from $19.95 to $29.95 each. You
won't have to pay a dime for this training session if
you're the first 350 to reserve your drums collection.
UPDATE:
Since this live session was already conducted, we've
decided to make the online recording available online
for the next 350 students.
Session topics:
"How
to guarantee your success with the Hear & Play Drums
Collection"
2 hours. Wednesday, June 13, 2007.
Recording of entire event available in the online
classroom for an unlimited amount of time.
Even
though, for all this, I could very well charge over $200 and still
get tons of orders for the 4 hours of step-by-step training
--- plus the 2+ hours in online "Secrets to Their Playing" bonus
video footage and the bonus live training session.
With the bonuses valued at $65.00 alone and the DVD instruction
valued at $120 (based on on the industry average of $30 per 1-hour
dvd), I could offer this package as high as $200.In fact,
many websites sell courses in that price range that aren't as long
as 4 hours and aren't packed with as much information as ours.
But I'm
not going to charge you $200 even though that's what this
comprehensive drums package and bonuses are worth.
I'm not going to charge you $150 --- I'm not even going to
charge you the retail price of $120.00 for this incredible
package because I want as many people as possible to take
advantage of this awesome information at an affordable
price.
For just $67, this entireHear & Play Drums
Collection package plus the bonus online videos, live
training session, and the online recording of the event can be
yours.
That's all three courses (Drums 101, Drums 102, & Drums 103) for
the price of one!
This offer is subject to change at any time (so if you're really
interested in these dvd courses, I suggest you act quickly ---
otherwise, you might end up paying well over $120 in the
future). Even worse, you may be too late and not able to take
advantage of the this offer at all (we're only accepting 350
customers for the bonuses listed above).
If you bought these courses
separately, you'd pay up to $93.
With Today's
Special, you can get
all 3 comprehensive courses and bonus offers for just $67
(That's a $26
instant savings!)
I
don't release many courses. But when I do, I want to make sure
that you're getting back in information and helpful resources
& tools at least two to three times what you invest. That is
always my goal and I sincerely believe this is one of the best
values you'll ever come across for these courses.
