One of the first drum books I ever bought was “Realistic Rock” by Carmine Appice. So when Carmine was booked for a lesson at Drumeo I was unbelievably excited and nervous. The lesson went great and I know you’ll enjoy it!
And in case you didn’t know, here are a few more details: Carmine Appice became known worldwide for his astonishing live performances as the drummer for Vanilla Fudge, in addition to becoming a highly sought-after session drummer playing with countless artists including Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osborne, Ted Nugent, and Pink Floyd.
As an educator, Carmine was the first to legitimize rock drumming with his landmark book, “The Realistic Rock Drum Method”, selling more than 400,000 copies. In appreciation for his universal appeal, he was forever immortalized via his induction in cement to Hollywood’s Rock Walk of Fame.

It just keeps getting better and better at Drumeo. We’ve been honoured to host so many special guests, and this lesson was no exception. Drumeo was very proud to host Benny Greb in our studios to teach a lesson on “The Art & Science Of Groove”. Benny demystifies common perceptions about things like “groove” and “time” being something we are all born with, or just developed naturally. He gives practical tips and advice that you can use to make your drumming better today. Enjoy the lesson and please share!

It was incredible to have four-time Grammy Award winner Antonio Sanchez visit the Drumeo studios, where he shared his creative concepts for building solos over a groove, over a form, as well as completely open solos – in addition to sharing his techniques for sustaining motivic development throughout your solos.
Antonio has become one of the most sought after drummers in the international jazz scene, with his playing featured in more than one hundred albums and having performed with some of the biggest names including Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, Charlie Haden, Gary Burton, and Toots Thielmans – as well as composing the innovative jazz drummer-led score for the Oscar-winning Best-Picture film, “Birdman”.
