Songwriters/Producers: Watch out…

The drums are, with the exception of vocals and the guitars, the most important instruments in any song. The popularity of songs on charts has been proven by studies from Bristol University.

Testimonials

These Testimonials are authentic and I am confident that they have not been altered in any way.

“As a songwriter, arranger, and composer, I wanted to severely brush up on notating drums. I know when drums sound good and when they don’t, so I’ve often kept it to the basics when writing drums. As I’ve progressed with my songwriting, I felt it appropriate to gain a better understanding of how to write drums that have a real groove to further enhance my songs. I enrolled in Friedemann’s self-paced Drum-Writing for Non-Drummers course and I’ve been blown away by the knowledge I’ve gained. I have a much better understanding of how to write better grooves. If you want to learn how to communicate with a drummer and how to properly notate drums on a stave, I recommend taking this course. You’ll be well on your way to producing better music.“ Brandon S.

“Hey Friedemann. I’m loving the course! You’ve done a fantastic job. I’m off for a short break holiday tomorrow for a few days and really excited to be working through it. My goal is to significantly improve my programmed drums and from what I’ve seen in the course so far, I’ve learn’t loads.” – Les D.
