Drumming News :
Mike Mangini just added two groundbreaking courses to his Rhythm Knowledge Lab platform, and they are a game-changer for drummers of all skill levels. Whether you’re just starting out or an advanced player looking to solidify your foundation, these courses offer something truly transformative.
Course Highlights:
- Rudiments for the Percussionist (Taught by Muscle Group)
- Style-Based Ostinatos (Stylistically Applicable Coordination)
The first course, Rudiments for the Percussionist, takes a unique approach to the traditional rudiment sequence. Mike points out that the “standard” order of rudiments is actually counterproductive for many learners. By flipping the order, Mike was able to help even beginner drummers at Berklee breeze through them in just a few classes. This isn’t just a lesson—it’s a total shift in how you approach drumming fundamentals.
The second course, Style-Based Ostinatos, dives deep into stylistically applicable coordination, showing you how to apply coordination techniques in real-world playing situations. This is crucial for drummers who want to break out of basic patterns and start applying their skills creatively within various styles.
A True “Game-Changing RK” Approach
What sets these new courses apart is the way they challenge and expand your thinking. They are designed not just to teach you more material, but to completely shift how you think about drumming. Mike has coined this a “game-changing RK” approach, one that goes beyond traditional lessons and takes a deeper, more systematic look at how we learn and apply drumming concepts.
Mike’s Active Engagement in the Community
What’s also exciting is Mike’s personal involvement in the Rhythm Knowledge Lab Community. Every day, he’s reading your posts, responding to your questions, and building new lessons based on the feedback he gets from students. This constant feedback loop ensures that the platform evolves alongside its members, making it more dynamic and responsive to their needs.
Course Organization for Easy Access
To keep things clear and organized, these new courses will be categorized in magenta, setting them apart from the existing Miscellaneous Lessons section, which will remain in cyan. This makes it easier for students to navigate and find the newest content.
