Dear Drummer,
Are you new to the drumkit,
or have you been playing for a while and hit a wall with your improvement?
It happens to all of us, and it is downright frustrating! If I told you I
had a proven way to improve your playing 50% faster than any other
method ever created, online or offline, would you be excited?
If you're like most people
you have or you will experience improvement block on the drums. You're
either uninspired, you feel that a certain beat or pattern is too difficult,
or you simply cannot read or grasp certain information. As a professional
teacher for over 10 years, these 3 factors have been the most consistent
problems my students have faced. And I've since used multimedia to make a
drastically better teaching model. But first..
Who am I and why should
you listen to me?
I promise to keep this very
short.. My name is Jack Bennett and I've
been playing and teaching professionally for over 10 years. I've played,
taught and competed all over the world in every professional music scene,
below is a quick list of career highlights to date..
1997 - Scored States highest
drumkit CAT exam, and won every State and National Stage Band Championship
in Australia.
1998 - Won "Australia's Best Up And Coming Drummer" competition, open
division, aged 18
1999 - Musically directed and toured my own corporate band to China
2000 - Drummer in national smash hit show, "Grease! The Mega Musical" (SEL /
GFO)
2002 - Drummer in Australia's highest ever selling show, "Shout! The Musical
Of The Wild One" (Jacobsen Ent)
2003 - Drummer onboard the inaugural cruise for Oceania's "Regatta" cruise
ship
2004 - Resident drummer in The Australian Showband
2006 - Drummer in New York smash hit show, "Hedwig And The Angry Inch" (Showtune
Productions)
2007 - Drummer in "Moonshadows" the Cat Stevens show (McPhersons)
I've also played in countless
rock, cover, jazz and latin bands and I'm
internationally endorsed
by the following companies..

Ok, Ok enough on me.. Why am I
telling you all this? Anyone can claim they've played in a rock, church
or original band. I listed the profile gigs I've done so that you know what I
teach is based on professional experience, and I teach what works.
So..
Want to improve rapidly
using the very latest multimedia design?
It has been proven that
by seeing something, reading something, and hearing something all at the
same time you can improve your uptake and comprehension by up to 50% faster
than just seeing, reading or hearing alone. So let me introduce you to our
breakthrough concept - Ezybeats.
Ezybeats are a 3 way
multimedia learning tool - you See me play the drums in split screen (1
camera on hands, 1 on pedals), you Hear me play the drums, and
the DVD
Reads you the music with a cursor scrolling through it, perfectly in sync
with my drumming. Example here.
Many people sell split screen
videos, some even add a picture of music to the clip - unfortunately simply
placing the music onscreen doesn't help if you can't read music. Our Ezybeats are
the ONLY videos where the computer reads the music in sync with the
drumming, and this is crucial for your development.
Like the idea? Ezybeats
get around most of the reading and comprehending problems we face, but what
about being uninspired? I have always found the best way to get inspired is
to learn something BRAND NEW! A new drum solo idea, a cool beat, a new
style.. So with all of this in mind..
Allow me to introduce the
most in depth, comprehensive and detailed Drum DVD / Workbook course ever
assembled..


For over 2 years now, Ultimate
Drumming Solution (UDS) has been the most popular drum course sold on the
internet, and with the new UDS 2007 12 Disc Set we've added 50% new content
and made it even better! But first, here's a little heads up..
| |

THE
TOP 4 PROBLEMS YOU FACE
With Online And
Regular Drum Lessons!
1.
You can spend anywhere from
$1,000 - $2,000 a year on regular drum lessons, and that's IF you
can find a good teacher in your area. Then you have to drive to the lessons every
week, buy countless books, and if you forget something,
you have to pay for a new lesson.
2.
Online drum lesson sites
reduce the quality of their videos to improve download times. Add to
this the 100's of videos you have to download and you've quickly
chewed up your monthly download limit with poor quality video.
3.
Some lessons sold on CD have
the same quality issue as a CD only holds 700MB of data. Furthermore
some of these are incompatible with MAC computers and regular DVD or
DVD-ROM players, and some require a net connection for access.
4.
Lack of experience. Some people who sell lessons
online aren't even professional drummers - this is why they never
list the exact gigs they've done. Instead they list names of
their teachers (why?) and list logos of the
equipment they play in an effort to appear affiliated with that
company. They teach the most basic of content promoted as "secrets"
or "revolutionary", and often charge well
over $100 for small DVD sets that only cover one topic - like rock
drumming.

you can access 24 hours a day, with a virtually unlimited amount of drum
beat, fill, style and solo material to access across

DVD
video format. So the next question is..
