If you struggle to play ghost note grooves well (like you just don’t know what to play!) - Or you always feel like your ghosting is too busy or too clumsy… Then today’s lesson is for you.

Playing an awesome-feeling ghost-note groove doesn’t have to be a complicated puzzle to be solved. Today I’m giving you a simple, universal, all-purpose pattern you can use in a bunch of songs, which will give you so much confidence - especially if you’re a total beginner.

We’ll also hit the 2 big reasons your ghost note grooves aren’t working or are feeling sloppy.

Let’s get you playing musical ghosting grooves that sound & feel awesome. YOU CAN DO THIS.

I believe that YOU can become the drummer everyone wants in their band. Anyone can learn the drums, and you’re far more capable of mastering this instrument than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short!

Stay Non Glamorous,
Stephen
