It was incredible to have four-time Grammy Award winner Antonio Sanchez visit the Drumeo studios, where he shared his creative concepts for building solos over a groove, over a form, as well as completely open solos – in addition to sharing his techniques for sustaining motivic development throughout your solos.

Antonio has become one of the most sought after drummers in the international jazz scene, with his playing featured in more than one hundred albums and having performed with some of the biggest names including Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, Charlie Haden, Gary Burton, and Toots Thielmans – as well as composing the innovative jazz drummer-led score for the Oscar-winning Best-Picture film, “Birdman”.

We had the amazing pleasure to have Kenny Aronoff come out to the Drumeo studios. Kenny is one of the most in demand live and session drummers. If you listen to music, then you’ve most likely heard his drumming at one point or another.

Yamaha DTX was kind enough to sponsor the event and bring Kenny to our studio and we are so grateful for that. Check out Yamaha DTX drums here:

I’m so excited to share the FULL RECORDING from our recent Drumeo Edge lesson with Larnell Lewis on “The Groove Builder & Hybrid Drumming”.

Larnell Lewis is an amazing drummer and educator, recently touring with Grammy Award winners Snarky Puppy, and playing a show with The Rolling Stones Project. And in this lesson, he covers two very interesting topics for drummers who want to take their creativity to the next level.

You’ll learn about his “Groove Builder” concept that really forces you to practice being creative, and get out of the rut of playing the same old drum beats and fills over and over. And you’ll also see his dynamic approach to Hybrid Drumming – where he uses a combination of Yamaha DTX electronics, Yamaha Acoustic drums, and Zildjian Gen16 cymbals.

I recommend going through the entire lesson. But just in case you’re looking for a quick snippet of inspiration, here’s the full video index:

0:13 – Intro Track
5:41 – Jared Talk (blah blah blah)
7:35 – The Groove Builder
18:13 – Hybrid Drum Solo
23:37 – Hybrid Drum Lesson
42:24 – Larnell Track
49:43 – Q/A
1:01:06 – Larell Drum Solo

A big thanks to Sean Browne of Yamaha Drums Canada for helping us invite Larnell to the studio. We are so grateful to have such amazing partners, and I highly recommend you check out Yamaha acoustic and electronic drum equipment:http://ca.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/drums/.
