Course Overview

When we first saw Jeremy Ellis performing his finger drumming on YouTube, our jaws dropped to the floor. Never had we seen such skillful drum pad technique. So we contacted Jeremy and asked if he'd like to create an original Maschine course for us and, after six months of meticulous production, he delivered a masterpiece.
In this course you'll learn every strategy a finger drummer's got to know to excel at the craft. Jeremy shares his exclusive warm-up and fingering systems. You'll see, first hand, his "No Way is Way" Bruce Lee-inspired philosophy on developing your own, personal finger drumming methodology.
Next, Jeremy dives into his Maschine programming tips. Here's you'll see how deploys both the Maschine MK2 and Maschine Mikro in his own, idiosyncratic "way".
Get ready to practice because Jeremy divulges the dexterity exercises he invented and uses daily to keep him at the top of his game.
The more you watch this course, the more it becomes clear that it's designed to be the finger drumming bible to be watched over and over again to guide you toward your own finger drumming way!
