Many years ago when the "drumming system" was released Jard did a lot of heavy mailing and tons of typical fear based marketing, the method we all know to well, and if slightly evolved, just find anoying.ĭrumeo is Jared's baby, but it's something completely different. I doubt many of those posters are still here but I remember it well. So for a very long time, his name has been a rather dirty combination of words around here. Jared then went on a diatribe and, let's just say, made a few posts that further damaged his reputation. The fact that they'd all registered shortly after the issue was raised and within a day or so of each other said enough. The issue was raised by a few posters (myself included) and Jared then recruited a load of his supporters to come over here and start shilling for him, defending his point of view. It was a video on the 'one handed roll' if my memory serves.Īnyhow, a little while after this was all posted on here, Jared Falk set up an account and started posting. A few people noticed it and Falk's reputation over here was very, very poor (and remains so amongst some of the old guard). Falk copied the material verbatim and released under the 'Railroad Media' banner. I believe the whole issue nearly ended up in court. Many years ago (I've been here since 2004) there was a lot of controversy about Jared Falk ripping off an obscure instructional VHS by Johnny Rabb. 5 stroke roll, basic rock beat everyone has done those and come across the same issues you have.

EVERY drummer learns the same stuff and EVERYONE struggles with things at some point. The gospel guys know their stuff and know what they play but they have worked on their thing for so long and never taught it that they can't remember what it was like to begin with.hence 'oh yeah you just practice it and its like easy and yeah.'Įveryone is the same.

I would also say that the thing about those guys saying it's easy is because a lot of them aren't teachers/clinicians and so they haven't got a grasp of how to break things down. Obviously the guys they get in are totally world class (the sonny emory one was awesome.what a player he is) but there is no need to be a giddy school girl when they play and blow smoke up there ass ALL lesson.

Jared tweeted me asking why and I explained that every one of these come across as fanboys and not interviewers or peers. I actually dug what Thomas was saying but said I cant stand the Drumeo guys. I posted the Thomas Pridgen vid on my facebook page and said the exact same thing. If money isn't an option why not get skype lesson in conjunction with MikesLessons/Drumeo? Someone who is a beginner/intermediate player would get loads of great stuff from that. I now just buy the odd one off lesson and they are great, But I had been playing for 12 years at that point.

When the PDF went up about 30 mins before the lesson I could play most of the stuff off the bat. I was a member of Mikes Lessons for a couple of months and stopped because (and I hope this doesn't sound too up myself) the advanced lessons weren't advanced enough. Mikes Lessons feels more genuine.įor example I haven't seen a single Mikes Lesson advert on facebook or google but my timeline and search result always have a drumeo advert - de stupify your hands, get fast quick etc. It is always a sales pitch, always the upsell. But to me it feels like they are in the business to make money.

Nothing wrong with the content and the free guest lessons they get in are great.

Thats what you would look for in a private teacher so go with that. Go with the one who's drumming most inspires you.
