Summary

If you're looking to build serious speed with your double strokes, and want a clear path to lasting progress, then this course is for you.

In this 7-day, bootcamp-style course, you’ll follow my proven, step-by-step speed-building system that’s helped hundreds of my students develop faster, smoother, more controlled double stroke rolls — for life.

If your doubles feel stiff, uneven, or hit a speed ceiling no matter how much you practise, you’re not alone. Most drummers struggle because they lack a clear pathway for building speed without tension. That’s exactly what this course delivers.

Inside the 7-Day Double Strokes Xcelerator, you’ll work through guided workouts designed to improve your hand technique, develop clean rebound, and build confidence as your doubles become more fluid and consistent.

What level do I need to be at for this course?

Since the 7 DSX course covers some moderate to complex stickings, it's appropriate for you if you have an understanding of the basic rudiments like, singles, doubles & paradiddles (intermediate beginner/intermediate or advanced).
