The secrets to playing

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!

Special Bonus Opportunity:
You'll Also Get 3 FREE
"Monthly Music Mentor"
Courses
Just For Trying This Program...
As a
very special one-time bonus, I'd also like to send you three free
courses from my Monthly Music Mentor CD of the month program,
which will help you to be equally equipped on the music side as you'll
be on the drumming side of things.
The Monthly Music Mentor program is aimed at teaching you everything you
need to know to play and understand music in the quickest and easiest way possible.
Just as it sounds, this program was designed to take you by the hand and
"mentor" you step-by-step through the musical process of playing
by ear. If you lack time and want to make the best of the limited time
you have, you're going to love what these monthly cd lessons will do for
you.
Everyone knows the best drummers are also musically inclined so these
bonus courses will compliment your drum lessons by not only giving you
the musical foundation you need to excel in your drumming, but they'll
also give you the ability to know all the other instruments, especially
piano. If you hope to be a Music Director one day and command the whole
band from your drum throne, you'll need to know music and the inner
workings of it.
Here's how it works: Order now, and I'll throw in a one-month FREE
subscription to my Monthly Music Mentor program - PLUS you'll get three
free Monthly Music MentorTM introductory courses, which provide
an incredible introduction to the ongoing training... and you'll get
all this just for
trying this program.
The three courses you'll receive are "Piano By Ear For Starters"
2-hour course, "How To Find The Key To Any Song" 80-minute
course, and the first Monthly Music Mentor introductory CD (80-minute
"Getting Started" program). All of this is worth $79.95 but yours free
as a bonus today.
I'm so sure you're going to love Monthly Music Mentor courses that I'm even going
to pay the additional priority SHIPPING cost to send the starter kit to
you.
If you love the three starter courses (which you will), keep them and stay subscribed to
the program. Every month, I'll send you a new lesson on CD, and you'll automatically be charged only
$15.95 a month... which is roughly just a quarter of what one private lesson would
cost you... and you can't rewind live lessons). You can cancel anytime you want with no questions or hassles.
If you cancel before 30 days, you won't be billed at all.
The
Three Courses Are Your Gifts
To Keep Either Way...
If you
get these 3 courses and you DON'T love them and get IMMEDIATE success with the material you learn, you can cancel
and keep all the courses FOR FREE... just for TRYING it. In other words,
you get to keep all the material for free either way... even if you
cancel right after you get it.
This bonus is worth
at least $79.95 alone, and it's yours free just for trying this program
--- but this special free offer is only available with your
purchase right now.
***If you
prefer NOT to get this free $79.95 bonus package, you can "opt out" with one click
while ordering... and simply complete your order without the free bonus
and 30-day trial. Your choice. It's that easy.
Even though, for all this, I could very well charge over $200.00 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.
Plus, you'll get the additional 3 Monthly Music MentorTM courses valued at
$79.95. So you're not only getting 4+ hours of step-by-step dvd footage on
playing basic, intermediate, and advanced drums by ear, but an
additional 4.5 hours of audio training in free bonuses to help you become an
all-around musically-inclined drummer. Then there's the ongoing support
--- what else
could you possibly ask for?
With the
bonuses valued at $152.90 alone and the DVD instruction valued at $120.00
(based on on the industry average of $30 per 1-hour dvd, which is actually
on the cheap end), I could offer this package as high as $272.90.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 $272.90 even though that's what this
comprehensive drums package and bonuses are worth. I'm not going to charge
you $150.00 --- 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 2 easy monthly payments of $39, this entireHear & Play Drums Collection package
plus the bonus online videos, free music courses, 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 $120.00 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 the next 350 customers for the bonuses listed
above).
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.
Jermaine Griggs, President
If you fit any of these situations below, then you
need these training courses:
Do you desire to play the drums by
ear?
Are you sick of playing the
same stuff on the drums... over and over?
Do
you want to learn fresh grooves, beats, fills, and licks without
having to figure them out on your own?
Would
you like to learn from someone who's been playing for over 20
years and has already overcome all the same problems you're facing
now?
REMEMBER:
The next 350

Your "Nothing to Lose And
Everything To Gain" Guarantee
Listen to my personal guarantee
If,
for any reason in the next 365 days, you don't agree this incredible
program is worth every penny, simply return it (and keep the free bonuses as
a gift). You will receive every single dime of your money
back minus the shipping costs. You won't be sold another product. You won't be
asked any questions. It's as simple as that.
My accountant thought I was crazy to even offer ANY type of return policy or guarantee on a
dvd or audio course because of the many ways people could cheat us... let alone
a full 365-day year guarantee. However, I believe in my programs,
and I believe in my students so much that I am willing
to allow you to test drive it on me. Heck, I'm even willing to take on even
more risk by letting you break up your payments into multiple months.
So not only do you get the flexible payment
plan, but you have a full year to decide whether
this course is for you. At 2 monthly payments of $39, you are losing absolutely nothing
and the risk is all on me. What else can I say?
Jermaine Griggs -- President
