In this module, I go into detail on tuning that will get you a good solid sound for most modern pop playing situations.

I cover Head selection, snare adjustments, how to know when your head should be changed, etc…

Hope you enjoy!

Training Module 7 is part 2 of the Module 5 singles and doubles module.
I give you some exercises and demonstrations of how to use singles on the kit.

The importance of being able to play singles at a wide dynamic range and with fluidity cannot be stressed enough, especially since singles and double are the foundational part of every other rudiment.

I thought it would be a good idea when going to the kit to focus on one of them at a time.

Enjoy!
