BEBOP DRUM VOCABULARY: STICK ON STICK SOUND

#alandawsonpodcast #drummer #drums #drumming #lessons #

#drummer #drumming #drums #lessons #zoomlessons

A podcast dedicated to the teaching of legendary Boston drummer Alan Dawson. I studied with Alan in the late '80's and his teaching had a strong impact on my playing. I use the original cassette recordings of the lessons so the listener is able to hear directly from Alan. Join me as I go back to 1988 and rework my way through Alan's material, from Lesson 1 to The Ritual.

Episode one is an introduction to what you are going to hear on the tapes, along with how I came to study with Alan, and some anecdotes from the lesson. If you would like to help me complete this project ( 21 lessons) please consider contributing at one of the links below.
