Collapsed Rudiments Masterclass | Sommerkahl (GER)
6. December @ 10:00 – 17:30
Based on a concept by the legendary Jim Chapin, my seventh release will appear in fall/winter 2025 COLLAPSED RUDIMENTS. Getting this simple and revolutionary idea down on paper has taken time for a number of reasons – and has brought all my previous books into a larger context. Applicable to very simple and highly complex contexts alike, this strategy may fundamentally change your view of drumming: rhythmic competence, timing, technical control and realization, developing new vocabulary, methodical learning aids. The same scenario as in my previous master classes:
- Limited number of participants; 6 hours of instruction on December 06 or 07, 2025.
- Start at 10:00 am (until 5:30 pm).
- Lunch & coffee/drinks included (home-cooked, vegetarian/vegan no problem).
- Comprehensive script with exercises and concepts, certificate of attendance.
- Discount code for openmindeddrumming.com; Discount for Open Minded Drumming users.
- Books/sticks/posters at a reduced price – maybe even COLLAPSED RUDIMENTS … if it works out.
