What makes this course so special?
Unlike many online drumming courses, you will be given access to me, the instructor. At the end of each lesson video, I set homework assignments for you to practice, record and upload to the private Facebook group. I will then give you written feedback on your progress.
Brush techniques can be quite challenging to grasp so along with the videos and notated PDFs, I believe it is important than I am with you every step of the way.
"This course provided me clear patterns that are usable and easy to remember. Using the train tracks guide illustrated a strong link between all styles and didn't require me to learn an extreme amount of choreography."

Hi, I'm Anthony - professional drummer, educator and author of Phrasing and Freedom with Brushes, and Beginner's Guide to Big Band Drumming.
I joined the Australian Army Band when I was 18 and started teaching soon after. Throughout my time as an educator I have been passionate about finding the best resources for my students to learn from. But I often struggled to find exactly what I wanted to teach, so I began creating my own materials.
For the past 5 years, I have taken a deep-dive into the world of brushes and have developed a step-by-step method for teaching what is considered a dying art form. This has resulted in the publication of my book Phrasing and Freedom with Brushes, and now Introduction to Lateral Brush Techniques online course.
I am so incredibly honored to be associated with the following companies:
