🛠 New Phase: Back to Study
After years of constant activity — concerts, teaching, recording — I’ve made a tough but necessary decision: to pause some projects and return to study.
I’m setting aside time for focused, reflective work. I’m building a new drum kit for upcoming recordings and, perhaps, a new solo album.
The plan is to dedicate a full year to this study phase. But as we know, deep practice tends to continue…

Have you ever wondered what truly sets a fill apart from a groove?

In this exclusive online drum class, we’ll break down the key differences and uncover how these two elements work together to shape your drumming style.

🔹 Understand the Role of Fills and Grooves – Learn why grooves provide the foundation of a song while fills add movement and excitement.

🔹 Master the Transitions – Discover how to seamlessly move between grooves and fills without losing time or flow.

🔹 Develop Musicality – Explore exercises that enhance your ability to use fills creatively while maintaining a solid groove.

This class is designed for drummers of all levels who want to gain more control over their playing and take their drumming to the next level. Whether you're just starting out or refining your skills, you’ll leave with new insights and practical tools.
