Russ Miller, one of the giants in the drum and music industry, recorded several drum lessons for Drummerszone exclusively.
In 5+1 Fundamental Drum Tutorials, Russ Miller lays down the core of what drumming really is about.
These videos are not beginner lessons. These tutorials explain what every drummer needs to have in the pocket when aspiring to be a professional drummer, or at least be the best drummer on any given moment.
Here are five drumming fundamentals that will 'give you a lot of mileage on your instrument,' as Russ says in lesson five. And there is one bonus video!
We recorded these videos two weeks after Rush-drummer Neil "S.S. The Professor" Peart died on January 7, 2020. A shockwave of sadness and regret shared among musicians and fans went over the entire planet.
More than appropriate, Russ wanted to give Neil a tribute by talking about what he 'stole' and learned from one of the most influential drummers of the past four decades. Then he pays even more tribute to the legendary Rush drummer by playing a drum solo in Neil Peart his unique and groundbreaking playing style.
Russ mentions Neil Peart's orchestral qualities on the drums, and gives you his two main eyeopeners by just listening and understanding Neil Peart with Rush. Of course, he also mentions YYZ ('Moving Pictures', 1981) with a quick demo, Tom Sawyer, the opening track of 'Moving Pictures,' and the legendary album '2112'.
