Feet

● The natural ‘Hop’ method. This foundational foot technique promotes excellent balance and is the springboard to more advanced techniques such as the Heel/toe and swivel techniques.

“What makes Georg so good as a drum teacher is not that he knows pretty much everything there is to know about drumming. It’s the fact that he’s so good at teaching it to you. He’s a very good teacher who’s happy to teach you at a pace that’s comfortable for you. On top of that he’s also a great guy with lots of cool stories to share.” – Nico Botha, South Africa – Adult beginner
