Topics covered in Clinics include Applying Rudiments, growing a single idea, dynamic and controlled drumming, branding and business, technique and musicality, or material from with Drum Book (The Drummer's Odyssey / The Field Manual for the Church Drummer).

THE DRUMMER'S ODYSSEY MASTERCLASS

This is a word that perfectly describes the process of learning to play the drums. "The Drummer's Odyssey" is one of AJ's drum books, which contains a system that helps drummers achieve greater creative ideas, technical proficiency and musical phrasing. This is what is taught and delivered throughout "The Drummer's Odyssey Masterclass", with plenty of time for questions and impromptu topics/discussions.
