If you’ve felt like your groove is stiff, robotic, and no one wants to dance to it, then this lesson is for you!

You can stick to straight-feel or swung feel if you like, but Without exploring the “HALF SWING,” you’ll never really tap into the funky, swampiness that really gets a band (and audience!) jamming hard.

I’ll show you exactly what this really is, give you some fun song examples, and break down exactly how to master the “half swing” feel yourself today and get your audience dancing. YOU CAN DO THIS!

I believe that ANYONE can learn the drums, and I believe you’re far more capable of becoming a great drummer than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short! SUBSCRIBE for more Non Glamorous videos that get straight to the point of solving drumming frustration. Stay Non Glamorous, Everyone!
