No tricks here, just real world info.
This series was started by Cliff in 2011. Over the course of 6 years, Cliff released roughly one video per week that addressed numerous topics related to drum set playing, and the various ins and outs of playing professionally. This site was originally available for monthly, quarterly, and yearly access, and is very useful for drummers who are actively working. We have received so many inquiries about this series that we decided to make it available again.
This archive contains 275 videos (over 45 hours of material), and is ideal for any level of player. These Modules address real world topics and give valuable insight into what it takes not only to get better as a player, but to be active as a working musician. If you want to take your playing to the next level, theres something here for you.
