What Bill's Students Have To Say
"After studying with numerous well-known drum teachers, and after many years as a drum teacher myself, I still was not satisfied with my hand technique. In my quest for information, I came across some of Bill's videos. It was clear to me that Bill had some of the best hand technique in the world...and what's more, he could logically explain it! Since starting Skype Lessons with Bill I feel better about my hand technique than ever before!"
“Those gateway rudiments alone make this website a gem, as they open up one’s hands to do anything... a website like DrumWorkout is what I’ve been dreaming of – and that dream has come true. Absolutely kudos for your work.”
“Before discovering DrumWorkout, I had to rely on youtube videos–honestly, they didn’t really help me that much, and left me confused... The explanations Bill gives are very helpful in helping me understand the mechanics and the purpose of the exercise, he really knows what he’s talking about, and I’m not left in doubt. Within 2 weeks so far I’ve been able to correct my grip, have an actual fulcrum and play more relaxed”
"Bill, I appreciate the Moeller lesson video. There are so many WRONG teachings out there about the Moeller stroke, and this is the closest I’ve seen since my days at University of North Texas studying with Jim Chapin.”
“Those gateway rudiments alone make this website a gem, as they open up one’s hands to do anything... a website like DrumWorkout is what I’ve been dreaming of – and that dream has come true. Absolutely kudos for your work.”
“Hey Bill, I just wanted to write and say I’ve seen several of your videos about the Moeller Technique. You taught it to me over 18 years ago and it is still holding true today. I have had many compliments over the years on my style and sound when I play and I attribute a vast majority of it to the techniques I learned from you many years ago. I will forever be indebted to you for this. Thank you!”
“After reading and working with a number of Bill's Modern Drummer articles over the past year or so, I decided to study with Bill via Skype. I have found that his mastery of the technique he teaches is readily apparent but the focus is always on my playing and how I can improve. The results speak for themselves. Bill is a great teacher providing both encouragement and plenty of challenges.
“I have been playing drums for almost 20 years in my native country Denmark. In Denmark good teachers are hard to come by, so taking Skype Lessons with Bill gave me the perfect opportunity to have someone help rebuild my technique. Bill has already changed my grip after just two lessons and I can feel a different approach to my drum set playing. I can highly recommend taking lessons with Bill and I do not know a drummer who would not benefit from a “hand check-up.”
