Intermediate and Advanced



So you've got the basics sorted, where do you go next?

Drum Zen can help you improve no matter what the level of your playing.

Would you like to learn a new style of music; perhaps become more fluent with funk, jazz or latin styles?

Do you feel that your technique is letting you down? Don't seem to be able to get any faster? Or getting pains during or after playing the drums?

Would you like to improve your sight-reading or learn to read and write drum music? Or be able to work out songs by ear?

Do you find you lack soloing or improvisational skills and want to develop more ideas? Or just learn some of the cool fill techniques that you've always wondered about?

Or even if you just want to learn some of your favourite songs and tricky sections...

...Drum Zen can help you!
