Finally! An easy to learn drumming method that is simple and gets straight to the heart of what makes a good drummer.
"Let me teach you what all my students have loved about my method which gets you to concentrate on the vast possibilities of beats within complex patterns"
Nick's system will help you to more easily develop your own unique drumming style - to ultimately allow you to finally express yourself as a drummer!"
Dear Friend ,
Whatever instrument you are learning it's a prov-en fact that ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS to improve as a musician is to invest in a teaching course, and there is no better way than a video teaching course – but...
Will any drumming video do?.
Absolutely NOT – as I'm sure you already know serious drummers who really want to learn more complex rhythms need serious, no nonsense, carefully explained systematic teaching – 'showoff' online video clips are just going to confuse and frustrate you.
No Books, No Charts, And No Metronomes
Nick has developed his very own unique drumming system that he has used very successfully with all his students over the past 20 year period. Nick says ''it just works'. His popular teaching system is finally being made available to you as the ‘Learn How To Express Yourself Drumming’ DVD course – for little more that the price of a lesson.
"Simplicity is the secret" to this teaching course, says Nick, and it's the foundation of his success - the DVD is a Step By Step Learning Tool that has already been used very successfully by novice drummers, intermediate drummers, and by teachers as a companion to their own teaching plan.
Now, if you are looking for a formal teaching style with books, charts and metronomes then this course is NOT for you. But if you are looking for top quality, straight forward, easy to digest, no waffle, compelling teaching, then this IS for you.
A Drumming Course That Makes The Complex Look Simple

It is shockingly simple - BUT extremely effective - a system that has been built on just a few very clearly explained principles that become the secure foundation for the more complex drumming patterns.
So Nick says that by getting you to concentrate on the vast possibilities of these beats in complex patterns you will be able to much more easily and intuitively make up your own unique patterns - effectively helping you to create your own unique style and so MAKE YOU STAND OUT from the run of the mill drummers.
You will be amazed at how simply explained and applied it really is - from the basic beats - and the 'Fun beats' which are extremely popular because you can have fun without having to master the foot pedals to begin with - and the co-ordination exercises - time keeping skills - many different beats and styles - bass drum technique - grip issues and much more.

Yes, Nick's approach is a little different to other teachers, preferring to focus on what is important - but it's on a very practical level - in a way that works for everybody - and this is why his style of teaching is so popular.
This unique system actually allows you to start playing quite complex patterns without the need to first learn complicated drumming notation - no books, charts, or metronomes. Nick gets you to focus on the most important things - he shows you what you need to become a musician and not just a drummer - the person inside - he gets you playing right now - having fun and more than anything, to get you to start expressing yourself creatively. Immediate Results From The First Lesson. It's important that you get are able to get started right away, from the very first lesson. This is especially important for the very young because they can quickly get frustrated when they are not having fun.
The Importance Of Expressing Yourself...
"Nick’s drumming DVD... takes you through a vast array of drumming lessons, starting with the very basics leading on to more advanced levels, Nick is constantly stressing the importance of playing freely, with confidence and expressing yourself
Jamie Jordon, Dover
Got Me Interested...
" ...it’s really got me interested... it’s taken the fear out of wanting to play the drums... for me, as a beginner, it’s a definite must."
Patrick Davies, Deal |

No boring lesson - because each lesson is firmly grounded on the essential building blocks of drumming and how you can use them to great effect (Nick shows you how to do this) - so you get to see the wood for the trees - in fact each lesson is very compelling to watch.
Nick clearly knows the problems drummers have and it shows - so aims to help you get around the kit in most efficient way possible.
Nick is passionate about drumming and gives you plenty of advice on developing your own unique style such as creating Drumming Melodies. Alright, we all know that drumming is mainly about rhythm and this is essential to understand if you really want to be a good drummer. However, you should also know that drumming can hint at melody and not all drummers are aware of this - and so they wont be able to communicate this fact to their students.
We all have memories of how lessons used to be at school and in college - and some teaching videos can sometimes remind you of that - However this DVD set is NOT one of them. Instead, Nick invites you to look over his shoulder as though you were his personal student - which you are of course! Multiple well placed cameras make sure that you get to see all the important angles which includes some nice close ups - so you don't miss anything.
Nick Invites You To Look Over His Shoulder
So who is Nick Harrington and who am I for that matter!!
Helps Practice...
"I use this DVD to help teach my students... it's perfect because it really helps them to practice and move on... and get the hang of those more complex rhythms..."
Starts From Simple Beats ...
"There are a lot of drum professionals with their own dvd, sure, but many of them will just frustrate you. This dvd is way better because it starts from very simple beats and melodic beats... it builds you up so you can perform your own drum solos, your own techniques"
No Boring Books ...
"It’s a tool that I use all the time with my students. It also doesn’t drag you down into reading and learning from books, which can be very boring and tedious.
For the money, it's great value." Dominique Soen, Belgium (Pro Drummer) |

Well, firstly my name is Andrew Hulme
As a successful DVD Film maker since 2001 my business has been to find talented individuals to film who have worthy educational filming projects such as this quality DVD drumming product from Nick Harrington. For each DVD product I produce I aim to personally guarantee it's authenticity and quality - because I want my customers to keep coming back!.
I should say here that I have more than a professional interest in this project as I too am a musician and part-time music teacher. When I met Nick a few years ago he impressed me with his enormous passion for music and the drums in particular - this passion is quite infectious and is clearly part of the reason for his success with his audience and his students.
It was Nick's obvious success with his own unique teaching system that he had developed over the years with his students that made this a worthy DVD project, a compelling DVD - adding true value to the drumming community.
Here are just a few of the reasons why you would would want to use this DVD teaching set.
