You can begin at any time. You study at your own pace, when your schedule permits. And you can cancel at any time.
The course covers the drumming in the classic tunes of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane and many more - as well as the work of the jazz drummers who made those tunes happen - from Jimmy Cobb and Art Blakey to Tony Williams and Elvin Jones.
