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.

You might be a beginner today but you'll be on your way to a proficient drummer capable of fast double bass speeds and tight footwork with the help of my Double Bass Masterclass and lots of practice on your own.

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.

DOUBLE BASS MASTERCLASS INCLUDES

60 EXERCISES I've practiced over the last 20 years of playing double bass. TWO VARIATIONS OF EACH EXERCISE. The REGULAR exercise is designed to help you control your feet and get them up to speed. The PLUS exercise is designed to build independence and groove.

60 EXERCISE INTROS. For the REGULAR exercises I describe the Grit, Goal, and the Gain. For the PLUS exercises I explain how to PLAY, LEARN, UNDERSTAND, and rate the SKILL of each exercise.

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!

    Before taking this class, I couldn't play double bass to save my life. Now, I can easily cruise through "Bleed". Child's play.
