Ultimately finding the confidence to become the drummer you’ve always wanted to be?
If you know WITHOUT A DOUBT
That your current practice strategies feel random at best (ever try pulling YouTube lessons out of a hat?)…
OR
That you’re not making the progress on the drums that you should…
Then keep reading.
There’s a better path. Get endless inspiration and FREEDOM on the drums in less time than you ever thought possible!
You’ve got more drum lessons at your disposal than ever before –
… YouTube and Instagram mini lessons
… Crash courses
… Membership sites
… and if you’re old enough (like me) – drum books and (gasp) DVDs.
You’ll find tens of THOUSANDS of drummers on the most popular drum education sites and platforms…
Tens of thousands of drummers that are passionate and determined just like you.
But how many successful drummers do you see coming out of them?
The number is so low it might as well be zero.
But it’s not because their methods are “wrong.”
They just aren’t painting the complete picture.
Sure, you may have learned all about displacing rudiments and practiced transcriptions of your favorite rock songs note-by-note…
But has that gotten you what you really want?
If you feel discouraged by all the resources online while you watch other drummers and think, “I’ll never get there…”
Here’s the real question to ask yourself:
With all that intense effort and practice, isn’t it time you start seeing some real progress?
With all the time, commitment, and practice you’ve already invested in your drumming, you deserve to get results.
You should know how it feels to pick up the sticks and play comfortably – with ease.
You should put your sticks down after playing and NOT feel like your hands are falling off.
You should step off stage with your band and say to yourself, “I NAILED that.”
And ultimately, you should sit down at the drums and feel CONFIDENT with all the progress you’ve made in just a few short weeks.
Now that might sound easier said than done, and I get it.
If you feel like you’re spinning the wheels, putting in effort and only seeing minimal progress, it's not your fault.
You might be thinking, "I've tried everything. I've watched countless tutorials, practiced hours on end, and maybe even took a few lessons. Why am I not getting better?"
It's okay to feel that way.
Drumming, like any other skill, takes more than just time and repetition. It’s not about grinding through another set of patterns, or pushing the limits of your hand speed:
5 reasons you feel “stuck” in that dreaded drumming “plateau” and how you can break free:
You Think You Don't Have Natural Rhythm
You're "Too Old" to Improve as a Drummer
You Don’t Have Enough Time
Your Confidence Isn't There
You Are Always On Drumming “Sidequests”
The path to becoming a great drummer is simpler than you think.
If you’ve made it this far, then you know how much of a struggle it can be to make progress sometimes.
But you’ve probably had those occasional moments of trying something new expecting to falter but instead you say…
“Oh! This is easy! I get it!”
So here’s the thing not enough people get:
Improving on the drums is supposed to feel EASY, when you know how to get there!
Maybe you’ve been used to those tiny, incremental improvements every week or month in your drum lessons, where you learn a little bit more about this beat or that rudiment, but never quite feeling like you are NAILING the fills of that Rush tune the way you see the pros can.
But you'll find that when you shift your perspective, you'll discover you ALREADY have what it takes to take your drumming to that next level...
The Drum Hub is a COMPLETE, step-by-step program for you to:
- develop great technique and eliminate wrist pain with a simple, step-by-step approach.
- play faster, longer, and more fluidly with personalized guidance every step of the way
- learn the ins and outs of mastering COORDINATION once and for all, with an easy to understand system for getting there.
- learn the secrets directly from the masters of the craft (more on that a bit later)
- finally play the drums with CONFIDENCE, knowing that every step of the way, you finally have the tools to take your journey exactly where YOU want to go!
Yes, this is all totally within your reach (whether you’ve been playing 6 months or 20+ years)…
… but it does depends on you taking a proven, step-by-step approach.
One that hyper focuses on the things that make a real difference in your playing, while avoiding all the distractions and shiny objects that attract us drummers away from what truly matters.
One that has been behind my own path and story, and has made me so passionate that it’s become my MISSION to pay it forward personally to hundreds of drummers after me.
So if you’re still reading, this all brings up an important question:
Who am I and why should you believe me?
Hey!
Dimitri here... but you can call me Meech.
When I’m not binge watching The Mandalorian or obsessing over how to make the perfect cappuccino, I spend my days running recording studios, producing records, and playing drums on tour and on recordings for hundreds of artists.
And while I feel very grateful to do what I do, there's a lot more to it than just luck...
In fact, the only reason I’m so passionate about helping drummers like you is because after years of work...
a) I’ve systematized exactly what worked for me and
b) I’ve seen it work for so many students just like you
"My technique was holding me back. I was trying to get better, but I didn't really know where to start or what to do...
Since I started with Dimitri, the difference in my playing and my ability, and even the way I feel about my playing has changed tremendously."
-Frankie
"Before I started working with Dimitri, I would just relentlessly re-record stuff...
...Since I became part of his Drum Hub, he's given me the knowledge and confidence to be more independent than I ever thought possible.
Dimitri helped me become more decisive, efficient, and confident, and just enjoy creating more."
-Janna
