Under the guidance of Guillaume, your session master:
PRACTICE AND BUILD TOGETHER
LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER
SUPPORT EACH OTHER
Drumdrill helps you generate a new pulse to your practice.
It is a friendly and ego free community and a great way of keeping your hands and your head healthy.
All it requires is that you take part.
You SHOW UP, We DO IT.
Our tribe is a varied one. From jazzers, metalheads to electro avant-guardistes and 2&4 pop-rockers. It is an open and inclusive place and there are many different reasons why you should join.
You only need your pad and an internet connection.
HOW WE DO IT
We hold 3 types of online sessions.
- DRUMDRILL LIVE SESSION
The official sessions lead by Guillaume.
60min of focused practice; 3 times a week; currently on:
• MONDAY
• TUESDAY
• WEDNESDAY
9:30am UCT (Times may vary)
- MEMBER SESSION
Members setup their own Live Sessions within the privacy of the network. You choose your time and your place and lead your own practice session how you see fit. Nerve-racking at first but a great way to commit to regular practice and well worth the feeling of accomplishment you’ll get from it!
- GUEST SESSION
We bring big name guests to co-host. These are open to public and members can get priority access at a discounted rate.
HOW WE DO IT
We hold 3 types of online sessions.
Each session is unique and typically runs through these four categories:
WARM UP & DRILLS
Simple sticking and accent patterns, stretching the muscles. From classic Stick Control ideas to focused drills and routines. Tommy Igoe’s Lifetime Warmup is often on the menu here.
RUDIMENT BASED
Everything Paradiddles, Flams, Drags, Rolls and Ruffs. We drill through one particular family of rudiment and explore the stickings as much as accent patterns or placement variations.
RHYTHM & TIME
Strengthening and stretching our inner clock. Getting the brain and the ears going with challenging rhythmic and timing concepts. Grid, subdivisions, permutations, groupings and odd phrasing…
STUDY OF THE MONTH
Learning written pieces from Gary Chaffee, Joe Morello, Ted Reed, Gary Chester, Steve Gadd, Charley Wilcoxon… and even making our own based on songs we like.

WHY DRUMDRILL?
TURN UP Anyone can watch tutorials on Youtube or Instagram but to connect with a tribe of drummers to inspire you, to get some work done and laugh with is another story. Until now.
Belonging to a group fuels action. Actions create habits.
Habits are part of Practice. Practice is the single best way to get to what you seek to be.
You turn up, we do it.
DRILL IT Because end-results & outcomes aren’t that often under your control but your commitment to the process 100% is. Setting the tone of your practice by focusing on the skill you want to develop, and how, will lead to meaningful changes. It doesn’t have to feel like the gruelling grind!
Bring the drumkit to your pad and address your head, your ears and your hands.
REPEAT The technical & rudimental world doesn’t have to be cold and intimidating. Practicing fundamentals that are applicable and useful on a daily basis leads to concrete results. It makes you sound better. We think music & drums.
This is not practice pad Olympics.
WHETHER YOU FEEL:
OUT OF TOUCH with the technique stuff and need a boost of confidence.
OVERWHELMED – simply wondering where to start and who to listen to.
PROCRASTINATION! – too much to do, too much on the mind, too little time.
INTIMIDATED – because you’ve been playing and gigging for years but never really invested time in all of this.
IN A RUT – feeling uninspired and locked into the same old ideas.
DISCONNECTED and left cold by all the ‘technique orientated’ drummers out there.
OR SIMPLY WANT TO:
SHAKE THINGS UP with an old fashioned kick up the butt.

GET GUIDANCE – starting some long overdue hand maintenance.

TESTIMONIALS
‘Hey dude, I just wanted to write and say man, thank you so much for all these zoom sessions. They really do brighten my day and I look forward to all of them – whilst at the time – enjoying the shit out of them, every time. I have wanted for a long time to do something like this and theses sessions are number one priority in my (now) daily routine. Thank you. You do a f***** great job and I love the challenges. And honestly, the “faster is better” joke is hilarious – don’t stop saying it ? makes me chuckle everytime!
Stay safe and…play faster.’
‘I just have to say man. Thank You. I’m feeling fresher, more positive, and excited to drum every day. This is a chapter in my life I’ll never forget and always be thankful for. Thanks for setting this up whenever ya did, delighted to be a part of it.’
‘This beautiful bunch of drum nerds have kept it all amazing during lockdowns […] I have been enjoying it for months and I can’t begin to describe the improvements both mentally and physically. There is no ego, just ideas, sharing and banter. If you are a drummer or even just interested in drumming: Get zooming. It is not about being great or anything, just about drumming and having fun.’
Adam Coad – Sun Rising
‘Loving your work G
Just wanted to say that I’m really enjoying the drum hangs.
You’re a bloody grouse! Thanks so much for what you’re doing and the fun drum times!
Loving getting my arse kicked by your silky chops.’
‘Thanks for everything over the last few months man. I’m really enjoying it and learning so much from you.’
Finn McAuley – Candarband
‘Yes Yes Love it!!
This is such a great idea man. I love the community that’s building up around it.
It’s been super motivating and has really helped, so thank you. Looking forward to whatever is coming up.’
‘Hey Guillaume,
Your dedication to turning up every week and inspiring us has helped me dramatically in building a routine when it had been taken away during lockdown. Everyone is sound and it’s a great way to start a day of practice/work. I just wanted to say Thanks for all your work and letting us be involved in the journey.’
