Welcome to the DRUM DISCIPLINE ACADEMY Power Builder Hand

Workout!

The goal for this 7-Day Workout is to help you understand the most
eﬀective and eﬃcient ways to develop Speed, Control & Power!

The 7 Days are scheduled as:

Days 1, 3 & 5 — 8th & 16th Note Exercises (pages 2, 3 & 4)

***WATCH THE VIDEOS FOR DETAILED EXPLANATIONS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

OF ALL EXERCISES***

Be sure to schedule 35-40 minutes each day to complete the scheduled

workout. If you want to experience maximum results and see real growth
you have to be consistent - so, don’t skip any days!

Even though this is a 7-day workout, you can do it as many times as you
like—this is why you have the Practice Log pages. Use these pages to
track your progress each time you do the workout. Keeping detailed
practice notes is one of the most eﬀective tools you can use to organize
your practice time and maximize your potential!

As with everything you do — Focus, Determination and Discipline will be

your strongest allies in helping you get the results you desire. Make these
characteristics a priority and I guarantee you will see results beyond your
expectations.
