Riccardo

I`m a professional qualified drummer with many years of experience in teaching, live and recording. After many years of studying with knowledgeable tutors in Italy I have gained a wide knowledge and I developed a concrete an effective program of studies that can help anyone, beginner or pro, to improve not just the drumming but also confidence and consciousness as musician. I`m happy to teach all age ranges and skill levels in my private studio or in the comfort of your home. References are available on request.
Every lesson depends on the students needs but this is a list of subjects I`m used to cover:

- Drum set ergonomics: posture, balance and flow
- Hand/Foot techniques: grip, motions, endurance
- Time and Feel
- Coordination and Independence
- Reading and trascribing: from simple rhythm to more complicated drum scores
- Developing vocabulary
- Approaching different styles (pop, rock, blues, jazz, funk, reggae, RnB)
- Linear drumming
- Vocabuary: fills, soloing
- Playing along to songs and transcri ptions
- Drum Programming on Logic Pro X
