What if you could sound like the drummer on your favorite record every time you sit down to play?

What if your drumming was so smooth & effortless that you didn't even have to think or try?

 

What if drumming could be easy for you? 

 

The truth is, it can. 

Here's the secret: You don’t need more things to practice - just a better way of practicing them.

If you can relate to this...

  • "I lack confidence, and I feel stuck"
  • "My playing feels stiff & choppy"
  • "There's no way I can play with a band"
  • "I feel stiff & robotic playing around the kit"
  • "I have to think too hard while I play the drums"
  • "I feel disjointed when I'm trying to play a song"
  • "I'm not creative enough"
  • "I'm scattered & overwhelmed in my practicing"
  • "WHAT DO I DO NEXT??"

 

...You absolutely can overcome these hurdles and get to where you...

 

  • ✅ Sound like your favorite drummer automatically
  • ✅ Sound smooth & polished without even trying, every time you sit down at the kit
  • ✅ Be proud of your drumming, and you’re not ashamed for others to hear it!
  • ✅ Be able to confidently play in the worship band at your church or in a cover band on weekends
  • ✅ Be able to sit down and play whatever’s thrown at you jamming with other musicians
  • ✅ Have effortless flow around the kit - no freeze-ups or hiccups
  • ✅ Be able to put on a favorite song and just play (and proudly share a video of yourself doing that!)
  • ✅ Be able to create with confidence, knowing that you actually sound good

 

But here's the key:

You can grow faster by practicing less, when you know the best things to practice - and the best way to practice them.

Remember: “The only thing standing between where I am now and playing at a professional level is what I’m thinking about and paying attention to while I play.”

HOW I am practicing!

 

I teach you exactly how to do this, so that you’re a totally different drummer a year from now. That’s why I created for you

What this means for you...

Over the course of 12 months, you go from...

  • ❌ Stuck
 ✅ To making rapid progress every day
  • ❌ Overwhelmed
 ✅ To growing quickly even with just a 30-60 minute-a-day practice session
  • ❌ Embarrassed to share videos of your drumming
 ✅ To proudly showing off how you’re sounding like your favorite drummer
  • ❌ Terrified to play in front of others
 ✅ To confidently grooving & nailing songs without fear of train-wreck
  • ❌ Having to think too much and try to hard
 ✅ To having so much comfort & confidence on the drums that you’re not having to think anymore while you play
  • ❌ A choppy, amateur sound
 ✅ To automatically creating a smooth, recordable, inviting groove that makes other musicians want to jam
  • ❌ Self-doubt
 ✅ To confidence, because you’re accomplishing something great on an instrument
  • ❌ On the verge of giving up
 ✅ To energetically moving forward, because you know you can do it

Here's how this simple, streamlined, step-by-step program allows you to practice less yet grow faster - 3 steps:

 

Step 1: Make more progress in less time...

Build a simple daily practice routine based on your level that explodes your coordination AND your creativity - By using my simple & versatile method book, “Rhythm Over Rudiments.” No joke, you can ditch everything else you’ve been practicing and just use this single resource for the next year, practicing out of it for just 30-60 minutes per day.

Step 2: Automatically sound smooth & effortless every time you sit down at the kit...

...By diving into the “Effortless Drumming Curriculum” - my week-to-week lesson series that teaches you how to deeply learn and internalize the drums so that drumming becomes easy for you.

Here's how this world-class curriculum takes you from choppy & sloppy, to smooth & effortless:

Every drummer has to go through the 4 steps toward effortless drumming. Work through these and master the skills, and drumming becomes so much easier and more fun for you.

Step 3: Get all the clarity, direction, and feedback you need...

...on our group coaching call every other week on Zoom - as we keep each other accountable, encouraged, and growing fast. Plus you have 24/7 access to the community of other students, where you can ask questions and post videos anytime.

Here's what will happen in your playing over the next few months...

You will...

  • 👉 Learn & grow faster (use the repeatable 3-step practicing process)
  • 👉 Play more smoothly & effortlessly (solve trouble spots in your playing)
  • 👉 Feel completely comfortable (gain full control over each limb)
  • 👉 Get more done in less time! (Practice more efficiently)
  • 👉 Master material more deeply (so that you’re actually comfortable with it)
  • 👉 Overcome any bad habit once & for all (solve technique problems)
  • 👉 Remember the thing you practiced yesterday! (Easily retain & recall new material)
  • 👉 Effortlessly apply smooth technique to anything you play on the full kit
  • 👉 Feel relaxed and at-home (play with proper posture & ergonomics)
  • 👉 Achieve a pro sound by mixing your kit well (learn volume-control)
  • 👉 Play with ultra-smooth, in-the-pocket time (by practicing with & without a metronome)
  • 👉 Sound recordable & studio-worthy (by fine-tuning your sound)
  • 👉 Use everything you learn in any song you like (gain more versatility in your playing)
  • 👉 Play faster grooves & fills (use the concept of “chunking” to tricky your brain into playing faster)
  • 👉 Flow smoothly between grooves & fills (“think in rhythms” so that you create effortlessly)
  • 👉 Creative & improvise naturally (build intention & impact in your drumming)

What you have access to:

  • The “Rhythm Over Rudiments” method book, which teaches you how to build extraordinary coordination & creativity the fun way! (for any level drummer)
  • The “Effortless Drumming” curriculum, my absolute best content that I’ve been teaching to my private students, showing you how to practice better, saving tons of time & effort in the process (the “how” to practice)
  • Live coaching session every 2 weeks to get your questions answered face to face
  • 24/7 access to the community of students in the coaching experience (Ask questions, post videos, get feedback)
  • Priority access to myself, your coach! I am your guide, here to make sure you have absolute certainty & confidence as you grow.

What this all means for YOU:

You will confidently sound smoother, more musical, and more polished than someone who spent a quarter million dollars on four years of music school! $$$$$

MUSIC SCHOOL = $250,000 (4 years!)

You could go to music school to accomplish this like I did. But that would take you 4 years, and that would cost you upwards of $50k-$70k per year (a total of a quarter million dollars!).

Working with me one-on-one = $10,000 (1 year)

Or you could work with me one-on-one, shortcut the process, and learn the drums much more quickly. My one-on-one students pay me $10k a year, which is still a fraction of the cost of music school.

Joining the Effortless Drumming Coaching Experience = $3,000

OR even better, you can achieve the same effortless drumming outcome as my one-on-one students, sounding like the drummer on your favorite song, but do it with me in a group for a fraction of my one-on-one coaching investment - just $3,000 for a year.

The power of a coaching group...

Working in a group of other drummers is even more valuable than one-on-one, because you have the encouragement, motivation, and accountability of other drummers working toward the same goal - Plus you learn so much from others’ questions, because sometimes as a new drummer you don’t know what questions to ask.

Here’s what’s happening to students working through this method...

👍 One student was struggling with a syncopated groove that she’d been working on for weeks without any progress, but when she implemented what I teach in the “Effortless Drumming Curriculum,” she nailed the groove and played it smoother than ever within a single 5 minute practice session.

👍 Another brand new beginner student was struggling through a busy, 16-based groove for the first time, and he kept fumbling on the same spot. But then when he implemented one of the mental practice strategies from “Effortless Drumming,” he nailed the groove on his first try and couldn’t believe it!

👍 Another new student was struggling with fills, and everything he played was sloppy and wimpy. But then when he incorporated the Fill Vehicles in the “Rhythm Over Rudiments” method book, he was seriously sounding like a Nashville session drummer in minutes.

This can be you, too!

However...this might NOT be for you...(how to know!)

The Effortless Drumming Coaching Experience is FOR...

  • ✅ A Beginner to intermediate drummer who wants to go from sloppy & choppy to polished & professional in the next 12 months
  • ✅ A student who is ready to patiently focus & practice BETTER instead of practicing more things
  • ✅ A committed drummer who is ready to take action regularly and put in the work to get serious results
  • ✅ A drummer who wants to save a whole bunch of time & money, skipping music school, collapsing time, and taking the route of certainty & confidence instead

 

The Effortless Drumming Coaching Experience is NOT for...

  • ❌ Drummers who aren’t serious about their growth, and aren’t willing to put in the work
  • ❌ Drummers who would rather practice a thousand things badly than 3 things excellently
  • ❌ Drummers who would rather spend a fortune in time & money by going to music school
  • ❌ Drummers who prefer to figure this out yourself, even if that might take longer
  • ❌ Drummers already committed to another program (a course, lessons with another teacher, etc.)

 

Let me be straight with you. If you're on the fence about this... You're not sure if you're ready to make the commitment, you're not sure if the time is right, etc. - then this isn't for you. Don't join! 

 

But if you’re a committed, action-taking drummer who’s tired of sloppiness & choppiness and want to play confidently, creatively, and effortlessly in the next 12 months - Without having to spend more time practicing more things

THIS IS FOR YOU.

Where you'll be a year from now...

You could have...

đŸ”„ So much comfort & confidence on the drums that you’re not having to think anymore while you play

đŸ”„ Effortless flow from groove to fill and back - and through different song sections

đŸ”„ Everything finally feeling EASY and automatic for you, because the drums feel like an extension of you

đŸ”„ The ability to naturally sound polished & professional without even trying

Student Success Stories

Here's what several of my one-on-one students have been saying...

"I actually believed I was at the end of my abilities... [But now] I am improving vastly from where I started."

- Jim H.

Jim H.

New Jersey

"My biggest hurdle was getting frustrated 😠
practicing over and over what I thought was right (Easy to do when you don't know!). So my progression was slow and tedious. After all, I have been playing drums since I was 9 years old. I know how to read music and have played in lots of bands, but I never was polished.

"My frustration caused me to feel like a failure and that mastering the drums was out of my reach. It's not working... I actually believed I was at the end of my abilities.

"But Stephen analyzed my grip...how my foot was working on the pedal...how was I holding my sticks. By carefully analyzing and directing he got me on a great path. I am improving vastly from where I started.

"Drum teachers in my past never looked at anything like that. Once they saw I could read drum music they jumped right into that. So my little self taught mistakes went unnoticed.

"It is such a wonderful state of play to be in! Once the issues were addressed, all of my other skills started to kick in. I am extremely happy and satisfied with our work together.

"Now I am totally renovating my practice time. The future looks great as my old friend the drums đŸ„ đŸȘ˜ continue to challenge and thrill me!"

"Highly recommended for all drummers who want to build those fundamental "non-glamorous" skills that enable you to play all the flashy fun stuff with speed, dynamics, and ease!"

- Tom Z.

"Stephen is a great drum teacher. Through his patient, easy going instruction on the mechanics of drumming, I've been able to fix a lot of self taught bad habits and improve my technique. He also challenged me with coordination exercises that really improved and broadened my drumming tool kit, which will help me play an even wider variety of styles than the rock/punk/ska I grew up playing along to. Stephen is non-judgmental, focusing on where my playing abilities were and how to help me achieve my goals. He also helped with a variety of elements around ergonomics and overall setup, tailored to me and not following some "this is the only way to do it" arbitrary set of rules. I never thought Zoom drum lessons would work, but they did and Stephen has been a huge help. Highly recommended for all drummers who want to build those fundamental "non-glamorous" skills that enable you to play all the flashy fun stuff with speed, dynamics, and ease!"

"If you want to discover what's holding you back and see significant growth in your playing, I highly recommend Stephen's personal instruction."

- Jim W.

Jim W.

San Fransisco, CA

"As a self-taught drummer, I suspected I had lots of bad habits that were limiting my growth, and I watched countless YouTube videos to try to correct them. After limited success, I finally reached out to Stephen. 

"He began by helping me change my grip, foot position and kit ergonomics. Those were big adjustments, but I felt immediate improvement, and within weeks, I finally felt like I was getting out of my own way, and I now see vastly more potential in my playing. I had no idea how much my bad habits were holding me back, and Stephen helped me correct them within the first couple of lessons. I've realized the smallest changes can make the biggest difference, but it's hard to determine what those are from videos alone.

"Stephen is patient, professional, and an exceptional listener. His 'non-glamorous', no-frills style is exactly what I was looking for. If you want to discover what's holding you back and see significant growth in your playing, I highly recommend Stephen's personal instruction."

"Once [relaxed grip] started to click my anxiety around my pain started to disappear and I was able to see a path towards a freedom in my playing that I’ve never felt before."

- Mike G.

Mike G.

Toronto, Ontario

"I came to Stephen Clark a broken drummer. I had struggled as a self-taught player for literally decades. I had a lot of anxiety surrounding my playing, so much so that I had given up playing the drums for a number of years. I saw some of Stephen’s YouTube videos and for the first time in a long time thought, “maybe this is something that I can get better at?” I reached out and started doing private lessons over Zoom.

"My hands needed to be 'unlocked' essentially. I had a lifetime of gripping the sticks too tight and it was causing stiffness and pain. Each stroke would send a jolt down my arm. Stephen took the time to watch multiple videos of me playing singles in slow motion, and he was able to pinpoint where my fingers needed to loosen up. At first it was a struggle - Again so much muscle memory. But slowly over the weeks and months I was able to loosen both the fulcrum point and my fingers to the point where I was feeling what Stephen calls the “free bounce.” Once that started to click my anxiety around my pain started to disappear and I was able to see a path towards a freedom in my playing that I’ve never felt before.

"Stephen has been patient with me while I stuck on the same couple of exercises for weeks on end until I could get the feeling in my hands that I was looking for. I’ve had other instructors over the years that I would try for small periods of time and they were insistent on following their method with very little room to move outside it. Again Stephen‘s patient and encouragement has made me feel more confident than I ever had on this instrument. I would recommend him to anybody struggling with any part of your playing. I cannot stress what a huge help this has been to me."
