"I have been practicing and taking lessons at 7DC for about six months now and I have been incredibly happy with my experience. The variety of practice spaces is awesome and allows one to practice solo or jam with other musicians. Overall this is a fantastic stop to learn drums, practice drums or jam out." - John
The Original "7 Drum Lessons"1. Establish awareness
2. Identify patterns 3. Start slow and count out loud 4. Isolate and loop the hard part 5. Repeat until effortless 6. Explore variations 7. Make it groove This approach works. By addressing each of these concepts while learning anything, 7DC students improve dramatically, build a strong foundation, amd have more fun doing it. You can learn much more material in much less time if you understand and address the psychological process of learning, because you can tailor the order and pace of the material presented, and practice effectively. |
1. Establish awareness -- You'll always develop quicker if you can (a) coach yourself, and (b) anchor new concepts to areas you're already familiar with.
2. Identify patterns -- Any beat or song can be deconstructed and/or simplified to the point where anyone could play it. This is the key that unlocks coordination. 3. Play slowly and count out loud -- Verbally speaking what you're trying to play accelerates learning. Play slowly so you get it right the first time! 4. Isolate and loop the hard part -- Repeating the beat, or even a portion of the beat, until you can play the coordination challenge correctly without thinking about it or looking at the music. 5. Repeat until effortless -- Repetition is how you build muscle memory, which allows you to play things easily. Without it, it's still new and you'll forget! 6. Explore variations -- Try altering the phrase slightly or changing the key, or something wild but related. This makes the actual exercise seem easy, taps into your creativity, and transforms you into a great musician. 7. Make it groove -- Different than playing the exercise correctly! Striving to "feel" the phrase, enjoy playing it, and find the same excitement you get from listening to awesome music |
