Learning Gospel Chops is Hard Work

Let's face it there are a lot of online drum lessons, tutorials, and membership sites. But, most of them are not really for YOU...

  • These lessons are not for drummers who play in church services.

  • They are not for drummers who play a variety of Gospel music styles (traditional, contemporary, praise & worship).

  • And without a doubt, these drum lessons are NOT for the beginner drummer. It's really ironic since so many drummers start playing drums in church.

I know what it's like to feel frustrated with my drum progress...

I didn't start playing drum early, I started toward the end of high school and always felt like my peers were so far ahead of me

  • I didn't have access to a drum instructor in the beginning and I was mostly self-taught... and this was long before online content was available

  • Some things came easy, like learning to play basic grooves and listening to music, imitating what I heard

  • Other things like playing creative drum fills and understanding how to play fills musically were a struggle

  • I often found myself playing the same fills over and over again, or simply running out of new ideas

  • I'd watch other more advance players and they inspired me to practice, but I really had no idea what they were playing because they were playing so "fast"

  • I wondered if there was a simplier way to develop creative drum fills that were appropriate for playing in church without turning every song into a drum solo

This is why the Beginner Chops Drum Course was created.

BEGINNER CHOPS is a premium online drum course that teaches you the tools and techniques for building Gospel chops and creating impressive drum fills. The course is designed for drummers of all levels, so you can go from beginner to intermediate with this one course. It gives you exactly what you need to get started quickly.

“This course really helped me work on the fundamentals, and improved my creativity. I can play drum fills without playing the same thing over and over again.”

Paul Stevenson, Illinois

“This was just what I needed. The lessons are broken down at a speed that makes it easy for a beginner to play. Because I was self-taught, I always felt like I missed out on some things. Now, I have the confidence to play with more creativity and add variety to my drum fills.”

Gary Barnett, Georgia
