This course has been truly amazing. I’ve been a huge fan of Matt’s playing for a long time and the way he explains plus plays each lesson is incredibly rewarding. I’ve been so inspired by this I’ve started a video journal series with my progress throughout the process. Cannot recommend it enough of you want to improve your double bass.
Matt's double bass class is a true master class! What is even better is the community of drummers he has built around this. I came for the footwork exercises and stayed because there's this whole group of people genuinely stoked about each other's progress. Everyone's sharing clips, troubleshooting gear problems, hyping up breakthroughs. You don't get that with most online courses. Worth it just for that.
I wish there was instruction in regards to progression (i.e do exercises 1 through 4 until you can do them at 140 bpm). Additionally, it'd be nice to have some programmed milestones. For example, if I've been doing these 30 minutes daily for 2 weeks and am unable to progress past 130 bpm... is this normal or do I need to go back and tweak something? That being said, they're really good exercises and I'm certainly enjoying them but I feel like I could find comparable exercises for free on YouTube.
Within the first 10 minutes of watching some of the trainings I had a better understanding of how to actually sit at the kit for improved posture and mobility! This has been not only fun but massive towards helping me improve my double bass and making practice time more intentional.
I love the quality and layout of the videos, Matt does a fantastic job explaining each exercise and you can tell he loves every second of it! Thanks Matt for sharing your knowledge and skills with your fellow drum community! Can’t wait to start shredding it up!

ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS
Beginner. Intermediate. Advanced. This Double Bass Masterclass is for all skill levels. I designed the exercises that way. Each exercise starts at 100bpm and gradually increases in speed over the course of 2 minutes to top out at 170bpm. You play with me until you tap out. You'll remember where you stopped and the next time you sign into practice you can work to beat your last speed.
I've been playing double bass for 20 years. Learn what I wish someone would have taught me and practice the exercises I played to get to where I am today.

Closing Words
This masterclass gives you the proof you need to keep practicing. It’s easy to make excuses instead of doing the hard thing. That is to do the work of practicing. Designed to be fun and productive.
You can work on a new exercise each day of the month and then revisit the masterclass the NEXT month to see how your double bass speed and control have improved.
You’ll get out of this masterclass what you put into it. Start slow and build control. Don’t get distracted and just keep practicing.
Ok, you ready? Let’s get to work. I look forward to seeing YOU in my Double Bass Masterclass! I cannot wait to work together!
