Learn Your FIRST Drum Groove in Minutes!
Taught by Ian Backhouse — 36 years of real-world drumming experience
If you’ve always wanted to play drums but felt overwhelmed by music theory, confusing notation, or endless YouTube “beginner” videos... this mini-course is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
I’ve taught this exact groove to hundreds and hundreds of students across my 36-year career — and it works EVERY time.
Why? Because we build it the smart way: one piece at a time, no jargon, no stress, no musical background required.
We break the groove down into 3 ultra-simple steps:
1️⃣ Hi-Hat Mastery
Learn to play eight clean, even notes per bar. No rushing, no dragging — just a rock-solid foundation.
2️⃣ Add the Snare
You’ll discover the easiest method on earth to nail the famous “2 & 4” backbeat — the heartbeat of almost every song you know.
3️⃣ Bring in the Kick Drum
This is where everything clicks. With kick on 1 & 3 and snare on 2 & 4, you’ll suddenly sound like a REAL drummer.
Every step includes:
✔ Clear demonstrations
✔ Overhead angles
✔ Slow-down practice
✔ Call-and-response sections
✔ Full play-alongs with music
By the end of the lesson, you’re not just learning a groove — you’re playing along to a backing track with confidence.
You will finish this mini-course having played your very first full drum groove, cleanly and in time.
