30 Minute Drumming George Shepherd
Welcome to 30 Minute Drumming!
The usual problems that most students face are increasing speed, creativity and accu-
racy. In this 30 day course, Ill be exposing you to the methods I used to get lightning
fast hands and feet. Its not hard to achieve when you have a easy to use guide that
plots your progress through the course day by day.
This system is designed to slowly increase your speed and accuracy over a 30 day
period by working with a metronome. Each day the tempo of the 6 exercises is
increased by only 3 beats per minute(bpm).
At the slowest speed, 60 bpm, these exercises can feel a bit sleepy, but this is the
most important part. It takes focus and control to play at slow tempos. It is actually the
hardest thing for even professional drummers to do.
Each exercise pattern is a multidimensional training tool. On the surface the patterns
are like any other, but when you separate each layer of depth, they come alive with
intricate subliminal lessons woven through the grooves. For example these are the
dimensions of study that each pattern contains:
1
Working with a Metronome to train your body and mind to Play in
Time.
2
4 Limb Coordination study to practice Independence and
Interdependence.
3
Focused precision training Developing Speed and Accuracy at slow
and fast tempos.
4 Polyrhythmic Patterms weave through triple and duple meters.
5
Technique Training for bringing out a consistent full tone from the
drums and cymbals.
6
Routine Building methods whereby you get in a habit of training
everyday.
7
Developing Focus by having a set routine that must be completed in
30 minutes... No daydreaming!
8
A Lesson in Patience because the virtue of the art can be heard in
every note of a well-trained drummer.

How To Use These Exercises:
Step 1: ALWAYS USE A METRONOME! Set your metronome to the corresponding

bpm of the current day in the 30 day course. (If you dont have one, get one.)
Step 2: Play the exercise with relaxed full strokes while keeping in time with the
metronome. I recommend using 16th note subdivisions on your metronome if possible.
(If your metronome only allows Quarter notes, then simply multiply the daily course
bpm by 4 and set your metronome to that number. For 8th notes mltiply by 2.)
Step 3: Focus on perfect accuracy in playing each pattern. Slow tempos will be the
hardest. Dont rush through the course or skip days.
Step 4: Play each pattern for 5 minutes without stopping then move to the next
exercise. You may need to practice playing the patterns correclty before starting.
