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 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.

The 80/20 coaching course gives you two options - get the complete course for a single, low price, or get the course plus feedback from me for a monthly subscription.

Here's what the coaching course includes

  • An interactive, multimedia online course that organizes your daily practice, and includes over 96 individual videos, PDF transcriptions of the exercises, and downloadable graphs of the week's exercises.
  • Lifetime access to the standard and jazz coaching courses - 12 modules, each with 2 phases. That's up to six months of material.
  • Regular "homework" assignments, and scoring templates to help you learn to listen critically to yourself, so you can determine whether to move on, or repeat the module.

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.

 

 

Now, using screen shots, I want to give you a tour of what it looks like inside the course.

 

Dashboards

Every member gets his/her own personal dashboard, like this. There are two versions of the course, Standard and Jazz. Here we see the jazz. There are twelve modules, and at the end of each, you're challenged to videotape yourself playing, and the course provides you a template to help you listen critically to yourself and assess your progress.

Premium members will see the "submit" buttons, and you can send your homework to me.

 

Modules

Modules are the basic unit of the course, each taking 2-4 weeks, and occupying 2 webpages.

Within each module is a series of exercises, each programmed to a specific schedule. In the example above, you'd be practicing the exercise in the video on odd days. The screen shot is only about one-sixth of the length of the page, which includes an average of six exercises per phase. Each exercise has its own high-quality demonstration video - more than 96 total videos in just the jazz course, and below each complex video is a transcription. The site is completely mobile-adaptive, so you can take it into the practice room. Click on any of the transcriptions, and it opens in its own window on your smart phone.

 

 

Graphic Practice routines

Accompanying each phase of each module is a downloadable PDF that displays the "practice routine" in a color-coded, graphic style. Students told me they wanted help organizing practice day-by-day, and here I've done that for you.

 

PRICING

There are two pricing tiers - the Basic, which is self-directed, and gives you a ton of value for a great price, and Premium, which allows drummers to get coaching feedback from me, up to twice-a-month.

I found myself saying ‘awesome’ out loud when you were talking about the reductive approach to practicing.
