First of all: A Drum Solo
Don’t just practice more - Practice Smarter
Does any of this sound familiar? You want to become better. You put in hours every week, but don’t really see the results you wish for in your playing. There’s just too much STUFF to practice, and it seems impossible to fit it all in with your daily routines. You often feel unmotivated, and despite looking at hundreds of YouTube clips with your favorite drummers and their lessons - you don’t feel that much wiser.
The Reality
The truth is that there is AMAZING free content out there. Many times by world-class players. But that’s what it is: Content. Scattered out in pieces. Not a full blown personal plan for YOU. One of your favorite drummers may say something that another one opposes. There’s too many contradicting sources, and gathering 100 drummers on one site doesn’t help that much, exactly because of that reason.
The Journey
I’ve taken inspiration from so many amazing drummers over the years, and I’ve learnt so much from them. And of course still continue to learn - from both players and/or teachers. But in all my years as a player and drum teacher, I haven’t seen a guide that takes you, the student, in full consideration. It doesn’t matter how incredible the exercises are, if you spend your time on them in the wrong order. If you don’t have a clear goal with your playing, how can you really know what to practice? This is where the lesson library on The Drum Set Revolution comes in.
"I've learned how to structure my practicing and can now focus at the topics I need to improve. I'm already noticing significant results in my playing."

The Drum Lesson Library & Your Success Path: A 5-Step Plan
Below you can read about the exciting lessons that you immediately get access to as a member. In The Drum Set Revolution, we follow the steps below. This way you’ll know exactly what to do next. New lessons are added every month.
STEP 1) How the Brain takes up Information
If we don't have a basic idea of how the brain works, we really can't get the most out of our practice sessions. Practice can be fun, hard & rewarding at the same time. How the brain works is a hugely overlooked area for drummers.
STEP 2) How to Organize Your Practicing
Imagine if you had a guide on how to become the player you want to become. That’s the mission of your practice plan.
On The Drum Set Revolution, we use a VERY systematic approach to practicing. You will know WHAT to practice, HOW to practice, and in what ORDER. What a great feeling!
STEP 3) The Art of Practicing
How should we drummers practice? This is often a forgotten topic in music education, but it's super important. There's no need to practice, if it doesn't take you from point A to B.
STEP 4) Your Vocabulary
Based on the previous steps (your practice plan) you will dive into the lessons that you need at the moment. In the big lesson library, there are lessons about rhythmic concepts, coordination systems, hand & foot technique, groove techniques.... and SO MUCH MORE.
As your playing and goals develop, you will change the lessons you are prioritizing.
All of the lessons in the lessons in the library are available for all members to watch, if you want inspiration from lessons that you're not currently working on.
STEP 5) Personal Feedback
One important part of The Drum Set Revolution, is to not leave you on your own. If you want feedback on your playing or have a question about drumming or practicing, I'm here to help you.
As a member of The Drum Set Revolution, here’s some things you’ll learn:
- How to practice efficiently and with a goal in mind.
- ”The Technique Boost” - A way of practicing technique that beats anything else I’ve tried (…and I have experimented with technique practice for thousands of hours).
- How to build exciting drum set vocabulary from simple rhythms.
- A systematic approach to coordination that will free up your playing.
- How rhythm works, and how you can manipulate it to create excitement.
- How to build a rich drum lick vocabulary, and not just copy licks.
- How to spice up your grooves by using certain techniques.
- How to practice with a metronome in fun and challenging ways, that will develop a deep understanding of timing.
- How to use your voice to help develop a deep connection with your playing.
- How to evaluate your practicing and playing, so that you KNOW that you make progress.
….and much more.
