The Drum Guy uses his highly effective, movement-based 4-step "Root to the Fruit" learning process to help you FEEL all 10 of these exciting rhythms in your body even BEFORE you touch a drum!
  1. You first SING the rhythm,
  2. Then you SING the rhythm and STEP the downbeat (the basic pulse of the rhythm),
  3. Next you SING the rhythm, STEP and CLAP the downbeat,
  4. Finally, you do all this with a SMILE on your face!
The Drum Guy has refined this 4-step Root to the Fruit process by teaching THOUSANDS of first-time and experienced drummers throughout the country. The process helps you to FEEL the rhythms in your body first, so they flow through you with natural ease and grace when you play them on your drum. After the Root to the Fruit process, The Drum Guy patiently walks you through EACH AND EVERY NOTE of ALL TEN of the world's most popular rhythms, teaching with insight, patience, and humor.

After learning the proper note sequence and phrasing, The Drum Guy utilizes an effective CALL and RESPONSE teaching style: he plays the rhythm, then you play the rhythm, and so on and so on....so that you hear the correct notes and phrasing and can then immediately reproduce them on your own. All rhythms are taught in a relaxed, unhurried style, with thorough instruction about drum and body positioning, hand technique, and overall musicality. All the while, The Drum Guy reminds you to have a smile on your face and enjoy the magic of playing world rhythms!
