Independence 2

These are systematic 2- way, 3-way and 4-way coordination exercises that will prepare you for further studies with rhythm and ostinatos. This course is designed to free up your limbs, allowing you to play what you hear.

Ralph Humphrey

Ralph Humphrey was a legendary drummer and educator whose career spanned over five decades. He served as Drum Department Head and partnered with Joe Porcaro to write the drum set curriculum for both Musicians Institute and Los Angeles College of Music.  He mentored thousands of students, many of whom have become top touring and recording artists. Ralph also performed and recorded with icons such as Frank Zappa, Don Ellis, Al Jarreau, and Natalie Cole, and contributed to numerous film and television productions like The Simpsons, Animaniacs, and Dancing with the Stars.

While you may be learning to play Rock patterns and Jazz or Latin in other Artist Courses or lessons, it is important that you systematically study your time function coordination. The body motions learned in this course will prepare you to free up your limbs, which can lead to playing more musical and in the moment. Take your time and practice slow.
