PIPE BAND TENOR DRUMMING JUST GOT AN UPGRADE

 

 

 

 

 

The Struggle is REAL

Tenor Instruction is tough to find, expensive, and takes a ton of time. Band rehearsal isn't the place to learn proper flourishing or musical fundamentals.

Motivation to practice is hard after a long day of work & family.

It can be hard to imagine ever playing like the Grade 1 Tenor Corps...Right?

Wrong. 

It's Easy When it's Fun!

Learning Pipe Band Tenor Drumming doesn’t have to be so stressful!! 

Becoming a Successful (aka: MONSTER) Pipe Band Tenor Drummer is now super easy, super fun and more accessible than ever before for ANYONE: experienced or aspiring players.

What Monster Tenor Drummers have to say...

Tanya C.

Victoria, Australia

Taylor and the Monster team have done a fantastic job providing learners with a multitude of perspectives— including lots of different filming angles— as we all learn in different ways. Each lesson is easy to follow and understand, as they are made to accommodate various playing levels. Even as an experienced player myself, this tutor is giving me new ways to expand my tenor drumming!

Kim A.

California, USA

 I found my way to pipe bands much later than most, which was a few years before I found Rhythm Monster. They've been so helpful and inspiring to keep me playing, and now this tutor from Taylor has given me all of the basics and fundamentals that I always wanted to learn from the beginning. Thank you to Taylor and the Monster Team for making such a detailed and thorough explanation of literally anything I would ever need to know about flourishing and making MUSIC on the Tenor Drum! 

Gale W.

Winnipeg, Canada

Winnipeg has a small pipe band community and finding midsection instruction is a challenge at times. I have encourage all members of our drum corp to use Rhythm Monster, now even more so with this amazing tutor. Taylor does a great job of breaking everything down and explaining it clearly. There is enough content to appeal to any beginner or intermediate player. We've got what we need to become even more Monster now!

What Monster Instructors have to say...

Derek Rose

Grade 1 Johnstone Pipe Band


Another fantastic learning resource from the Monster team! Pipe Band Tenor Drumming is a unique musical art in Percussion and having an online teaching program that helps every stage of player, from learner to Grade 1, is outstanding. You can clearly see a lot of time, effort and passion has gone into this program and I know its a program everyone will enjoy. Learners should not miss this, and it's a resource I'll use when teaching our next generation of top players. Highly recommended for anyone looking to be a Monster Tenor Drummer and/or teacher! 

Justin Ball

DMA Candidate: Percussion, Florida State U. 


Full disclosure: I was the lead editor for this series. I wanted to take it on because I wanted to learn what Pipe Band Tenor Drumming was all about. I knew the flourishing was unique and cool, but I had NO idea it was so demanding and musical! Taylor is a world-class educator, and I honestly can't imagine a better curriculum for this instrument. I recommend this tutor to anyone, anywhere of any musical experience level who wants to learn what this artform is all about. I can't wait to hear about Pipe Band Drummers taking advantage of this truly Monster tutor.  

Eilidh Wynd

Instructor, National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland


Taylor is amazing and a real inspiration of mine! It's so difficult to get younger players to focus on the right things. They always want to get to the hard flourishes without really understanding the basics. Taylor's tutor walks you through everything you need, step-by-step, class-by-class, and doesn't miss a thing! I love all the exercises and little jams they made to learn and practice every flourish and every rhythm. Big Monster smile from me: Sassy Singles team for life!
