Equipment & Practice

​

Do I need a full drum set to make progress?

Not right away. A practice pad + sticks is enough to begin developing technique, rhythm, and coordination.

How much should I practice?

Consistency wins.
• Beginners: 15–20 minutes a day
• Intermediate/advanced: 30+ minutes, depending on your goals
Small daily habits > long, inconsistent sessions.

Yes — everything from double-kick fundamentals to triplet flow, blast beats, coordination development, and musical integration.

Yes. You’ll get personalized PDFs, patterns, notation, and weekly recaps as needed.
