Hey Perry, Why is the ‘BEGIN DRUMS’ System different?

Years as a drum teacher and playing professionally – people ask frequently How to learn drums –

to play with friends, just play to favorite songs for fun.

I’ve wanted a simple, quick approach for ‘aspiring drummers’ (beginners to less-experienced intermediate).

An effective system to ‘do what drummers do’. Keep time (drum beats), and train your hands, for control on the drums.

DESIGNED FOR YOU…

*All-in-One System:**  The book and video course combine for seamless learning (with clear instructions and visual demonstrations).

**Play Your Favorite Songs:** Build a strong rhythmic foundation to play along with your favorite songs confidently.

F A Qs

“Begin Drums Now” book and video course, and incorporating the “6-Minute Speed and Power System”:

Q: How do I know this system will work for me?

A: The Begin Drums Now system is based on years of experience teaching hundreds of students of all ages and skill levels—from junior high schoolers to working professionals and even gigging drummers looking to refine their skills. I’ve distilled the most effective, fundamental techniques into a straightforward, easy-to-follow program designed for rapid progress. Many of my past students have experienced success using these same methods, and I’m confident you will too.

Q: I don’t have much time. I’m already busy. Will this still work for me?

A: Absolutely! Begin Drums Now is designed for busy individuals. Even short, focused practice sessions (as little as 10 minutes a day) can yield significant results. The key is consistency and focusing on mastering one thing at a time. You’ll find that achieving small successes builds momentum and keeps you motivated.

Q: Is drumming talent innate? Some people seem to “just have it,” right?

A: While some individuals might pick things up faster, drumming is a skill that can be learned and developed by anyone with dedication and the right guidance.
A great book,”Talent Is Overrated” by Geoff has several accounts of people that tend to make us question the phrase, “I cant do it” or “I’m no good at this”…

BLOG:
I.e., Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods – – – Recounting their early years and what they did the habits they Required prior to getting famous. Geoff Colvin points out that it is the ‘interest’ and environment and what we apply to a project or skill that helps us acquire more than the possible advantages of blood line, or in-born “Talent” -which is generally regarded as the reason “I cant do it” or “I’m no good at this” – so we quit before we begin, because SPOILER ALERT… Everyone of us –

Is truly not good at anything when we begin a new Skill, hobby, interest.

We struggle and need to gain the appropriate skills for what we are trying to achieve.

It’s true… Here’s a question…
Do you or any of your friends still crawl? NO, right?! We just kept practicing walking until we got it.

I dont know one person that decided “I give up – This walkng thing is just too hard for me – I’ll never get it, so I may as well quit.”

TRUE STORY.😎

Begin Drums Now provides the structured approach and clear instruction needed to build your skills, regardless of your natural aptitude. Success is about consistent effort, not inherent talent.

Q: I’d love to play drums -but, I’m not a very coordinated person.

A: Many of my students initially had concerns about coordination. However, the Begin Drums Now system focuses on building a strong foundation of fundamental skills in a gradual, manageable way. The step-by-step approach helps to develop your coordination progressively. If you’re motivated to learn, you can definitely achieve your drumming goals!

Q: What about the 6-Minute Speed and Power System?

A: This supplemental guide provides focused exercises to help you build speed and control on the drum kit. It complements the core Begin Drums Now curriculum, helping you enhance your technique once you’ve established a solid foundation. It’s perfect for intermediate learners who want to take their drumming to the next level.
