The Total Hand Freedom Coaching Program
Know you're growing quickly & avoiding bad habits - by asking questions and getting feedback in real time!
Who’s this for?
- Beginner & intermediate drummers
- If you’re a total beginner just starting out, this is absolutely for you!
- If you’ve been playing for a while but know you need to revisit basics so you can loosen up & relax your hands more, this is totally for you too!
This is definitely for you if you are...
- Not always knowing for sure if your hand technique is on track
- Feeling uncertain about whether you’re really doing things right
- Afraid that you could be developing bad habits that slow your growth
This coaching program will enable you to...
- Know if you’re on track with your hand technique! | Get realtime feedback from myself
- See other students’ technique and learn from them as well
- Ask questions face to face so that you gain the clarity & direction you’ve been needing
- Learn your strengths, weaknesses, and therefore exactly what you need to be practicing to build speed & fluidity
You'll go from...
- Slow, clumsy hands to fast, fluid hands that can play whatever you want them to play
- Lost & confused to complete clarity and direction (knowing weaknesses and what to practice)
- Being frustrated with not being able to play what you want to… to hands that just automatically execute fills and fast patterns autopilot ease!
How this will work:
- We’ll meet weekly on Zoom every Tuesday afternoon for an hour (probably mid day EST around the 1pm to 3pm range to accommodate multiple time zones) from late January - late April
- Cost will be $197/m for 3 months, or $527 paid in full in advance (save $64)
- Having worked through THF as a prerequisite is highly recommended - but not absolutely necessary
- We'll be together working through the 6 modules of THF over the course of 12 weeks.
Here's the schedule we'll plan to follow, though we can always adjust to serve everyone's needs.
The last couple of weeks will be reserved for review & making sure your questions are all answered!

*Weeks 11-12 will be flexible weeks where we see what everyone needs and focus on those areas to wrap up our time together.*
Overall, although this program will be content-driven, we'll stay very flexible and open to changing direction based on what everyone needs. My goal isn't to throw a bunch of information at you. I want you to ask questions so that I can tailor these sessions to your needs. That's how I think you'll receive the most value and most transformation out of this!
