If you are on the fence about lessons with Jay, do it!

Initially, I struggled with limb independence and overall creativity with my drumming.

As someone who was a self-taught drummer, Jay immediately identified some foundational gaps and recommended easy-to-follow lessons that immediately accomplished my initial goals within 2 months!!

Jay is an incredibly gracious and humble teacher.

He breaks complex ideas into easily digestible concepts. There is a lot of information in the Masterclass, so this will give me things to work on for years to come.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to take their drumming to the next level.

As a beginner drummer, I found learning and practicing on my own to be overwhelming. With Jay’s lessons, you are given bite-sized, easy-to-follow exercises that provide context for what you are learning.

The ability to highlight and loop sections, and play the exercises at any speed, allows you to learn at your own pace and gives you full control over the lessons.

As a self-taught drummer, the hardest question for me had always been "What's next?". Usually, it was just learning to cover another song, but that wasn't leading to any real growth.

Jay's masterclass was the perfect solution.

His lessons are down to earth, easy to follow, and structured in a way that drummers of all skill levels can tackle the material. You'll learn the importance of an actual practice routine, and how to identify gaps in your playing so you can improve efficiently.

Jay demonstrates that even the most complicated grooves can be broken down into fundamentals that can be mastered with some focus and discipline.

If you're looking for real guidance from a world-class drummer, this is perfect for you.

I’ve been playing on and off for a long time, and I felt confident in my coordination and ability to navigate odd time signatures, but I was ultimately feeling directionless. I would sit down at the kit and just not know what to play.

Jay’s lessons really kicked me into gear! Jay challenged me with some crazy polyrhythms and coordination exercises and gave me a lot of patterns to use in grooves and fills. I feel like my vocabulary, coordination, speed, and overall comfort level on the kit have all dramatically improved.

I really liked the format for remote lessons – They were very clearly explained and followed a logical progression without huge leaps.

This was a fantastic experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to take their drumming to the next level.

One month in and I’m already feeling more confident with limb independence and technique.

I’ve played varying genres from classic rock and metal to reggae, but the intricacies of prog drumming have always given me my biggest challenge. I purchased the sheet music for TesseracT’s “Luminary” years back and had some luck learning enough of it, but this website brings a whole new level to drum education.

Jay breaks down incredibly complex segments into easy-to-digest sections and builds you up until the pieces fit together. Between the multiple camera angles, scrolling sheet music, and customizable tempo, there’s a combination suited for everyone.

This website is as close to in-person instruction from an industry pro as you can get. If you own drumsticks, I recommend signing up!

Jay's progressive masterclass is absolutely outstanding! The class is structured in an easy-to-follow style, with each lesson building upon the previous one.

Jay's teaching approach blends the technical and musical aspects of drumming, enhancing technique, as well as overall groove and feel. In just one month, I witnessed significant improvements in my sticking, limb independence, and groove.

What sets Jay apart is his unique combination of being an exceptional drummer and an excellent teacher.

He maintains a humble, patient, and responsive demeanor, providing guidance and feedback throughout the course. If you are committed to improving your drumming skills, this course is undoubtedly worth the investment.

Jay’s masterclass reset the bar on my journey completely. I joined Jay's Masterclass in 2022 and absolutely loved the experience. Jay was meticulous by starting with the fundamentals such as grip and posture before moving into advanced concepts.

There were times I’d look at Jay’s lesson and think “There’s no way in hell I’ll be able to play that.” The way he breaks down each concept, each fill, and each hit, makes any complex beat totally approachable.

Perhaps the best part of the class is not just learning cool rhythms, but learning HOW to learn. Jay covers working with a metronome at slow tempos to build up skills, programming ideas to assemble unique rhythms, and how to combine simple concepts into progressions that sounded masterful.

I started drumming in a band a year ago and I find myself playing with SO much confidence now. He unlocked the groove within me and I’m so excited to see where it goes from here!

With all the information floating around, things can become cloudy really fast. I needed help with a solid practice regime to reach the next level.

As soon as I saw Jay’s masterclass offer, I knew this was for me.

Within a month, my goals are clear thanks to precise realistic lessons. Time doesn’t wait! Invest in YOU and the returns will be sweet!

I have unlocked so many doors in my playing ability since learning from Jay.

I have seen significant progress in my limb independence, pedal hat control, heel-toe playing, and odd-timed grooves since I started lessons.

Where else can you get lessons with one of the top people in the industry at an affordable price?

Thank you, Jay!

I've been a drummer for 20+ years and always had an interest in progressive drumming. For some reason, I couldn't find an easy A-to-Z lesson plan covering everything I wanted to learn. Then I came across Jay's Masterclass and decided to give it a go.

So far I am much more versed in odd time, polyrhythms, stick control, double bass & independence. Internal timing is the one area I feel I've improved the most.

His lessons are concise and very easy to follow, not overwhelming. If you want to take your drumming to the next level, go for it!
