Spend your money well

During the course I will guide you carefully to purchase the equipment according to your budget, from very cheap to more professional, offering you alternatives and customized options.

Instead, imagine buying the right things right away and being able to integrate new equipment over time, to expand your projects to recordings with your band.

No initial skills are required , whether you are totally inexperienced or already partially equipped, you will surely find material suitable for your needs.

Feedback and experiences

Preparation and competence

“Corrado is always one step ahead. Very prepared and very receptive to the news, not only in the field of drumming. A 360 degree preparation mixed with the desire to continually get involved make him one of the best teachers I have ever known.”

– Cristiano Sanzeri, sound engineer / production manager (Vivo Concerti)

It solved my problems

” In an exhaustive and simply passionate way, it is worth all the money spent, which is very little if you calculate all the teaching material that is made available to you.

I don’t want to go on, but for novices or experts there is something to learn for everyone.

A big hug to all those who have passed the rock and those who are setting out on that path that opens up and becomes part of our lives anyway.

I thank all those who made themselves available to carry out this project which I find excellent, also because it puts everyone in touch and puts us in touch, developing and solving many of the problems that everyone has had and that they have overcome thanks to technique and advice.”

– Eugenio Gabbio

Communication and empathy

“Corrado is first and foremost an excellent drummer, gifted with communication, sympathy and above all great curiosity that allow him to know and deepen many concepts and notions. A valid reference for all young and non-young drummers. Follow him!”

– Andrea Ge, drummer / music teacher (Exilia, Queenmania, Music Academy)
