Your time is valuable
That's why you want to make sure everything you're doing is taking your forward. You've seen the 80/20 Roadmap, and you know it breaks down the few most important things with the highest impact.
But some drummers want more.
Somebody to listen to you and tell you exactly what to work on.
Somebody to monitor your progress and hold you accountable.
Somebody to make sure every minute they spend in the practice room is taking them closer to their goal.
In short, they want a coach.
Here's what coaching will include
- Three Months or more of intensive, done-for-you practice-routine-management, based on a personal assessment of your playing.
- An initial analysis of a video you send me, and regular updates as you progress.
- A personalized practice routine, updated regularly based on your progress - up to every 2 weeks with Basic Coaching and every week with Premium Coaching.
- Videos of all exercises. If there's an existing video with the content, I'll use that, linking to the exact time index. If there's no existing video, I'll make one from scratch.
- Personal transcriptions of the exercises, where relevant.
Here's what coaching can do for you
- Condense a year's worth of progress into three months, by finding and focusing on the most important things.
- Provide you motivation, accountability, and feedback.
- Work with your individual pace and learning style.
I understand it's a big decision. That's why I want to prove to you that it works.
So I'm offering the first week completely free. If you're not completely convinced, there's no financial obligation. I'm happy to say the majority of the students who completed the free week signed up.

What's the advantage to reserving now?
- Because coaching is hands-on, I have a limited amount of space available. Reserving now ensures you'll get a slot if in the event I have to close coaching to new students for a while. (As long as you see those buttons above, that means there's space available.
- For students who want to get started right away, paying up front is a way to have "skin in the game", which can be a strong motivator.
Or try it free
If you're new to the site, or still unsure if coaching is right for you, a free week is a great way to see if it's a good fit. The vast majority of the students who tried a free week went on to hire me as a coach.
The Advantages of Trying Coaching Free
- No commitment. Will I send you an amazing practice routine tailored to your goals that I know you'll love? Yes. Will I put an easy link to the "upgrade" page to make it as seamless-as-possible to hire me once make the decision? Of course. But coaching's not the right fit for everybody. That's why there's no commitment to buy just for trying it free.
- You get to experience coaching in a 100% realistic fashion. The only thing the "try it free" experience doesn't include is feedback on your homework.
The Trade-offs
- If you haven't yet purchased the coaching and I have to cap the number of students, there's a chance you may be waitlisted. You'll be at the front of the line and the first to receive an email when I open the roster up again.
- The good news is you'll already have a head-start when space becomes available again.
