I’ve Done the Hard Work of Research—So You Don’t Have To

Most drummers waste years trying to piece things together—practicing random rudiments, copying grooves off YouTube, or trying to imitate the legends without really understanding what makes their playing work.

The truth is, drummers like Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Jordan, Clyde Stubblefield, and Zigaboo already hold the answers. Their grooves are the foundation of rock and funk drumming. But it takes years of study to decode their playing and extract the principles that make it sound so alive.

That’s the work I’ve already done for you. 

Inside "Funk Drumming 101", you’ll find 100 original grooves, fully transcribed and explained in video, built around the same key concepts those legends used. Instead of guessing what to study, you get a complete, ready-to-use path—so you can focus on practicing and actually improving.

Funk Drumming:
The Catalyst for your
Drumming Evolution

Funk drumming offers a unique solution to this common problem. It's not just another genre; it's a powerful tool for developing a more dynamic and expressive drumming style.

Why is funk so effective? Because at its core, funk demands unpredictability. It forces you to think outside the box, to embrace syncopation, and to develop a deeper sense of groove.


Funk drumming teaches you how to: 

  • Master Ghost Notes: Add subtle nuances and textures to your playing, creating a more sophisticated and dynamic sound.

  • Embrace Syncopated Accents: Disrupt the predictable flow and create rhythmic interest, adding a layer of complexity to your grooves.

  • Explore Kick Drum Variations: Develop a wider vocabulary of kick drum patterns, adding depth and character to your playing.

  • Develop the "Swunk" Feel: Capture that unmistakable blend of swing and funk, creating a groove that's both infectious and sophisticated.

  • and so much more...
