Mike is a gifted composer and instructor. He teaches you to THINK and approach each component of music like an experienced musician.

Hi IT Was great learning experience and i appreciate mike for a unique way teaching with the theory and practical both are superb . But i personally feel Mike need to more elaborate about topic with more basics theory and practical with home work exercises .coz fundamental must be clear with all expect rather than programming point of view . Thank you , Thank you , Thank you ...

Another great course. Concepts are simple, but structuring them into course material with examples and discussion sets the mind to better use the concepts when composing. This expedites the learning and experiential curve.

No encontrado nada util, conceptos muy basicos

I liked the course a lot and learned many things but I would have liked it if there was more examples for each lesson. I think Micheal could go in more details a bit before switching to the next video. But I understand it is named: "The Fundementals of rythm" so I would like another one called "Advanced Rythm" or something like that. Thanks for this great course Micheal!

This is exactly what I was looking for! I been trying to learn music for long and play guitar and bass, but the rhythmic part was a mistery for me. Now it is unraveling to me!

I have taken several of Mikael Baggstrom's courses and have truly learned a large amount of information. The extra time he takes to organize his ideas in manageable segments, that are easy to follow and very clear in intent make learning a pleasure. Thank you for your wealth of ideas Mikael!

Wow, i never knew there was so much to drums and percussion... i learned about space,silence,rhythm with percussion,with drums,with instruments and many other things....but is till cant create a drum track for a song.... Would have been nice to see Mike create a few drum tracks in the video- why to use certain instruments, where to use them.... what instruments sound like layered and why and where to put the layers..... how to assemble all the percussion instruments, what beat they come in on, and why....and video examples of Mike creating all this.... I do have a better understanding of rhythm,drums,percussion,space,layering,silence,dynamics, but not really how to use it all, and how it all fits in the grid..... or how to set it up completely....

O instrutor é muito claro e explica muito bem porém o curso é um pouco mais simples, raso e focado em iniciantes, do que eu imaginava.
