🤘 Welcome to Easy Version! These songs are aimed at beginner drummers of all ages who want to play along to their favourite music right from day one. They are simplified arrangements of the drum parts, how simplified they are depends on how complicated the original drum part is but all these arrangements fit with the original songs and sound great when played along to the track. They make great performance and practice pieces and whilst they might be at a beginner level, they all contain essential skills needed to progress. I do not think that being a beginner should hold you back from being able to play along with your favourite songs most of which will have been recorded by experienced, professional drummers. I firmly believe that musicians that can have fun on their instrument and become inspired early on will stick at it! These are all songs that have been popular in my face-to-face teaching and I am adding more all the time.
The PDF booklet includes:
✅ Step by step exercises to break down all of the parts and techniques you’ll need to play the song.
✅ A full transcription of the easy version song.
✅ Optional “extra challenge” exercises.
✅ Glossary of all musical terms used in the lessons.
📹 Also includes a video play through of the isolated drum performance.
🎧 Also includes audio demos for all exercises.
❓ How easy is it? I have categorised each song as one of three levels:
Level 1 - Introduces entry level skills and techniques. No previous drumming experience required.
Level 2 - Uses basic drumming skills and techniques. Some experience of playing beginner drums is recommended but not essential.
Level 3 - Includes some more intermediate level skills and techniques. Ideal for drummers who already have some experience and are looking for simplified versions of more complex songs.
