Like A Pro!

Know To Play Basic And Advanced Grooves, Beats, Fills, Solos And

Discover:
The secrets to playing
drums by ear even if you don't have any prior knowledge or past
training.
How to
take your drumming to the next level if you already play well.
Advanced players: How to instantly incorporate fancy licks and
tricks into your drum playing.
If you're truly
serious about playing drums by ear (...or drastically improving your
current
skills), then I've got the answers you've been looking for on this
page.
I
warn you, however...
...Because this isn't
a site for people who think they'll just magically pick up drum sticks and
play like a pro in a few hours.
But if you have the dedication, commitment, and drive to follow
a few easy fundamental techniques and secrets, then you'll benefit
tremendously from this site. I guarantee you.
You've probably come here because:
Yes
You want to learn drums by ear but have no idea where to
start.
You've been intimidated by the drums and could never play
a steady beat in the past.
You play the drums decently but want to learn the "real"
secrets to sounding like a pro.
You consider yourself a good drummer but want to learn
more industry tricks, fills, and grooves.
You don't want to pay $30 an hour for lessons and would
rather learn at your own pace.
You play with or know a drummer who could benefit from the
step-by-step training found on this site.
If any of these sound like you, then I
encourage you to read every single word on this page to find out
how to finally stop wishing you sounded professional and start
LIVING UP TO IT --- TODAY!
Let's get started!
There
are FOUR primary ways to learn drums by ear...
Hear and audio explanation of
this section >>>
1) You can hire a teacher
WARNING: This will cost you about $30 per lesson. At
one lesson per week, you're looking at $120/month or over $1400/year ---
and these are modest estimates. And this is only if you can
find a good teacher that knows exactly the style of drums you want
to learn.
Someone who can show you the shortcuts,
tricks, and secrets and not purposefully take "their" time so that it
takes you months to get to a decent level.
Nothing against private teachers. If you can
afford it and you've got a great instructor, then you're definitely on the
right track.
2)
You can figure it
out on your own by "trial" and "error"
Believe it or not, this can actually cost
you more than hiring a teacher in the long run.
Just
think about it...
Have you ever heard a
seasoned professional talk about how long it took them to get to the level
they're now at?
10... 20... 30 years?
If you've got that kind of
time, go for it! The "school-of-hard-knocks" is the route many musicians
have gone.
...Not because they
preferred this route but because a lot of the information that is
available today was not available when they first got started.
3) You can shed with other
drummers
If you're blessed to be around talented,
professional drummers, then you'll definitely be exposed to their
techniques and tricks --- And you'll get better naturally because of it.
Unfortunately, this is not the case for most
struggling musicians.
In fact, you may find other musicians
reluctant to share techniques and tips with you.
"I got to the top on my own and so
should others," is the mentality a lot of top musicians share. Don't get me wrong...
there's some generous musicians out there and if you can shed with them,
you'll get to the next level at lot faster!
4) You can use self-help
material to learn at your own pace
The last (and best way in my opinion) is to
use self-help resources like the ones featured on this page to learn at a
comfortable pace.
You
not only save a ton of money, but you control how slow --- or how
fast you progress. If you want to start all over, that's your decision. If
you want to skip ahead, you have full control.
This is the approach hundreds of thousands
of musicians (if not millions) have gravitated towards since the advent of
the internet.
This is the "information
age."
Gone are the days where you
have to depend on others to show you stuff... beg fellow drummers to show
you tricks and techniques, and pay for hundreds of dollars in lessons.
Introducing My Good Friend, Kennieth "Bam" Alexander
Kennieth
"Bam" Alexander has played for just about everyone in the industry. He's
toured with a countless number of artists in all genres and leads
workshops locally in his community.
He's been playing drums for over 20 years...
since the tender age of 2 and has certainly been through the "school of
hard knocks."
Having taught himself from scratch (and
later enrolling in a music studies program in college), Bam knows both
worlds --- how to read sheet music and most importantly, how to play by
ear.
I
was so impressed by Kennieth that I personally invited him to be
our drum instructor --- and you'll be glad I did as he shows
you, step by step, all the techniques, tricks, and secrets that took him
over 20 years to master!

"Early
Bird" Super Bonus #1
Unlimited
Online Access to our "Secrets To Their Playing" Private Video
Archives ($39 value).
In 2006, we traveled all across
the west coast getting exclusive interviews with some of the top
musicians around. The best part is that we videotaped ALL of the
interviews and have never released them until now! What was supposed
to be released separately for $10/month is now available to the
first 350 musicians to order our Hear & Play Drums Collection
for free.
You'll find interviews of
drummers, percussionists, keyboardists, organists, and more!
Over 2 hours of online
footage at your fingertips!
"Early
Bird" Super Bonus #2
(Extended!!!)
One Live
Training Session With The Hear & Play Team of Instructors ($24.95 Value).
This was already conducted live but we've decided to make the
online recording available online for the next 350 students.
Thanks
to new technology, we've employed a service that allows us to have
live events online. It's called a webcast.
Actually, the
better term for it is a "simulcast" because it allows
participants to either call in on a phone using a special number or
listen online by simply clicking a button and turning up their
computer speakers.
The
first
350 people will get to join this live session for free. You'll
get a virtual front-row seat to enter our "online classroom" environment
where you can ask questions with the click of a button (by simply
typing and submitting to our "Question & Answer" queue)
and much more.
In 2005, I held
7 teleclasses (we didn't have this new technology so every
participant had to call in back then) that ranged from $19.95 to
$29.95 each. You won't have to pay a dime for this training
session if you're the first 350 to reserve your drums collection.
UPDATE:
Since this live session was already conducted, we've decided to make
the online recording available online for the next 350 students.
Session topics:
"How to guarantee your success with the Hear & Play Drums
Collection"
2 hours. Recording of entire event available in the online classroom for an unlimited amount of
time.
Even though, for all this, I could very well charge over $200 and still
get tons of orders for the 4 hours of step-by-step training ---
plus the 2+ hours in online "Secrets to Their Playing" bonus video footage and the
bonus live training session. With the
bonuses valued at $65.00 alone and the DVD instruction valued at $120
(based on on the industry average of $30 per 1-hour dvd), I could offer
this package as high as $200.In fact, many websites sell
courses in that price range that aren't as long as 4 hours and aren't packed
with as much information as ours.
But I'm not going to charge you $200 even though that's what this
comprehensive drums package and bonuses are worth. I'm not going to charge
you $150 --- I'm not even going to charge you the retail price of
$120.00 for this incredible package because I want as many people as
possible to take advantage of this awesome information at an
affordable price.
For just two easy payments of $37, this entireHear & Play Drums Collection package
plus the bonus online videos, live training session, and the online recording
of the event can be yours.
That's all three courses (Drums 101, Drums 102, & Drums 103) for the
price of one!
This offer is subject to change at any time (so if you're really
interested in these dvd courses, I suggest you act quickly ---
otherwise, you might end up paying well over $120 in the future). Even
worse, you may be too late and not able to take advantage of the this
offer at all (we're only accepting 350 customers for the bonuses listed
above).
Again, you get
the entire course, special pricing, all the free bonuses, plus the
easy payment plan.
Don’t Decide Now...
Try My "Drums Collection" Home Study Program RISK FREE For 30
Days
I'm so sure that you will love this program that I'm
willing to do something that might seem a little bit CRAZY...
I'd like to send you a copy of this program to try RISK
FREE.
Here's how it works:
I'd like to send you a copy of my
dvd home study collection at
MY RISK. You don't have to pay anything except for a nominal
shipping fee to get this out to you today.
If you like it, keep it. You'll be billed automatically.
If you don't like it, just send it back within 30 days, and you
won't be charged (Don't worry, if the mail takes too long, and I
get it back 31 days later and you've been charged, I'll
give you a full no-questions and no-hassles refund ).
Can it get any better?
Of course it can...
I also realize that having to pay for this program all
at once might stretch your current budget a little bit. So I'd
like to extend the offer I made above to
“sweeten this deal” and truly make it “ an offer you'd
be crazy to refuse .”
If you order right now, as I mentioned above, I'll
spread your payments out over 2 MONTHS. You
won't make your first payment until 30 days after you order, and
you'll be automatically charged in 2 equal monthly

secure order page where you can order your program. Just use a
valid credit or debit card for your order.
Go through this program from beginning to end. You will
see INSTANT RESULTS, and you WILL start understanding what it
takes to play piano by ear in weeks, not years.
Use the materials all you want for up to
30 days at MY
RISK.
If you decide that it's not for you - for ANY REASON -
just send it back and you pay NOTHING.
If you'd like to keep it (and I'm betting that you
will), you don't have to do anything. You'll be billed
automatically in two easy monthly payments of $37 - starting in
30 days.
I truly want to help you play the piano like you've
always wanted to. I get emails every day from musicians who are
using this materials to improve their gospel playing, and I want to
help you too.
You don't have to pay anything
except for a nominal shipping fee to get this out to you
today.
I
don't release many courses. But when I do, I want to make sure that
you're getting back in information and helpful resources & tools
at least two to three times what you invest. That is always my goal and
I sincerely believe this is one of the best values you'll ever come
across for these courses.
