MEOW MUSICALITY SOMEWHERE HOW TO

By working through some material in “Phrasing” and watching his demonstrations of how to practice the material has stimulated my imagination in new ways and given me ideas for applying the material in my own personal way. Russ has helped me with very clear and practical advice on playing musically in different styles, technical information on how to articulate with a more consistent sound on the drums, and his book “Phrasing” is filled with useful and musical exercises. In just a few lessons I’ve picked up some very valuable information that has made a real impact on how I play. Always on the lookout for new teachers and feedback, I decided to study with Russ during my time in SF. I am currently a drummer employed on a cruise ship and making several stops in San Francisco throughout the summer. His unique approach is featured in the book ' Phrasing': Advanced Rudiments for Creative Drumming' published by Hal Leonard and is available on Amazon. That way the work the student is doing can be immediately applied to the drums and turned into music!' Russ continues, 'Really, all drum exercises should have rhythm in mind, some phrase that puts the exercise into musical context. He believes that it's important to keep studies true to real world drumming so that exercises are relevant to what is in the students ear and heart. Russ uses a completely customized approach that focuses on the students interests and goals.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Russ has personally studied with several world-class instructor/performers including David Garibaldi (Tower of Power), Alan Dawson (Jazz Master who played with Dexter Gordon among others), Bob Moses (Pat Metheny), John Riley, and Gary Chaffee. An Accomplished drummer with over 40 years of private teaching experience, Russ believes that coaching benefits musicians at all levels.
