e-MusicLab presents the ultimate Master Class for the Drumset.

Take the e-MusicLab Master Classes and learn about:

  • The basics of reading music including duets and trios to play along with.

  • Rudiments, are "the scales" of the snare drum. The diversity of the performance of the rudiments will be demonstrated by both a rudimental champion and a symphony percussionist.

    In addition, MusicLab demonstrates the application of rudiments to the drumset through the use of videos by some of the world's greatest players, including Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, and David Garibaldi.

  • Drumset Techniques
    This section includes Coordination and Independence studies by the venerable Jim Chapin (swing is back!), Gary Chaffee's Linear Drumming, and Funk and Fusion as demonstrated by David Garibaldi.

  • Soloing on the Drumset
    This section breaks down important drum solos and makes it possible for the student to master them note by/for note. Included is the Dave Weckl solo on his recording of Island Magic.
