Rhapsody Of Fire drummer Alex Holzwarth has announced the opening of his own online drum school/drummer coaching service, DrumDoping. Alex has played drums with Rhapsody, Sieges Even, Blind Guardian, Avantasia, Angra, Kamelot, and many more. He has recorded countless albums and toured around the world numerous times. For more than two decades he has been working as a professional certified drum teacher at the European drum school institution, Drummer's Focus.

 

 

Alex will now offer FREE live 30 minute interactive drum lesson streams every week on his DrumDoping.com website. Drummers can watch that week’s live lesson and have question and answer sessions with Alex in real time. If drummers want to work more on that week’s lesson topic, they can purchase a video with footage of training exercises, plus notes in PDF format—on a name-your-own price basis.

There will be three lessons per week, airing live at different times to better serve students all over the world. The next lesson will begin the series, 10 Dark Secrets Of Double Bass Drumming, and air on January 13th at 12 PM (Japan) and 9 PM (Europe), and January 18 at 4 PM (EST; for North and South America), all times local. The date and time of future lessons are posted at DrumDoping.com or www.facebook.com/DrumDoping.

 

 

In addition, Alex is also offering personal one-on-one live video lessons. You can find out further information about the personal lessons on the DrumDoping website or Facebook page.
