Dan Weiss Drumset Intensive

Unit 1 - Rudiments, Stickings, and Warm-ups

The Drumset Intensive is decades worth of practice, performing, teaching, and studying, distilled into an easy-to-follow course for drummers who want to take their playing to the next level.

The intensive is broken down into six units. This first unit focuses on rudiments, stickings, and warmups and features:

  • 16 video lessons (Over 2.5 hours of brand new content)

  • PDF transcriptions (30+ pages)

Unit 1 is designed to develop a strong rudimental foundation, creative ways of applying rudiments, great hands, more refined techniques, stronger internalization of polyrhythms, better grasp on odd subdivisions, and a lot more. I also offer many problem-solving strategies.
