Drumsense Training Tracks 28 Feb 2012
Exciting news - we have introduced a range of short playalong tracks which are specifically designed to fit with the Drumsense Volume 1 and Volume 2 tuition books. They are designed as loops so the student can play for as long as they like, each is composed to fit with a specific exercise in the book, and all are supplied at 4 speeds so each student can find the tempo they need.

The idea is that they can become an integral part of the teaching tools for Drumsense teachers, but also that it is very easy and cheap for students to download a copy for home practice.

The current range of tracks can be found here. We are adding new tracks frequently - the best way to monitor this is to go to https://www.facebook.com/drumsense and Like us - you will then see our updates, including when new tracks are made available.

Welcome to Drumsense USA!

Drumsense is a drum tuition programme which uses a proven method based on books and playalong material by contemporary players and teachers.

Dave Heim (USA)

Dave Heim

A drummer and percussionist from Chicago, Il, Dave Heim has many years of varied experience with all styles of music. This experience has led to countless gigs at private events, country clubs, city festivals, TV and radio performances, corporate events, and public concerts. He has performed with concert bands, symphonic bands, theater pit bands, horn bands, rock, R&B and jazz bands, small combos and 18-piece big bands all around Chicago.

Dave studied percussion with many local instructors. The most notable of these being Mike Balter and Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame member Bobby Christian.

In the 70s and 80s Dave worked for Ludwig Drum Company. He worked at the Musser division as well as the drum division on Damen Avenue in Chicago up until the company’s move to North Carolina in the early 80s. While with Ludwig he enjoyed doing some prototype road-testing while working in other official capacities.

After leaving Ludwig, Dave became a local endorser for Chicago-based Slingerland Drums and gave drum clinics at area music stores for several years until Slingerland was bought and moved from the Chicago area.

With as many as 35 private students at one time, Dave has taught drums through Quinlan & Fabish Music Stores, local high schools, and privately from his home. Dave recently returned to teaching and is currently accepting students.

Dave can be found performing around Chicago with the classic rock band Second Time Around, with Americana artist James Curley, and with the 11-piece horn-rock band Scraps of Brass. He is often called upon by local band leaders and frequently performs with the band ScribbleMonster, playing little kid rock & roll. In 2006 Dave traveled with ScribbleMonster for a tour to Washington DC and Baltimore, MD the highlight of which was a live performance from XM Radio studios.

For fun, Dave performs with the musical comedy group The Bottle Band. This ensemble of 25 performers plays serious and silly selections using ...
