rickdior - Invidious

rickdior

This channel is dedicated to serious drummers and percussionists who want to develop superior technique and musicality. This is an educational channel where you will be challenged to learn the art of playing percussion and drum set at the highest levels.
Many years ago, as a student myself I was very fortunate to work and study with some of the greatest drummers and percussionists to walk this earth. My goal is to pass these skills onto the next generation of performers and to aid in the preservation and advancement of drumming and percussion techniques.
