Ever wanted to play drums but didn't know where to start?
You pick up a pair of drumsticks, ready to play-but instead of making progress, you find yourself stuck, repeating the same patterns without real improvement.
Maybe you've tried learning new beats, only to fall back on what's comfortable when things get tricky.
You're not alone. Every drummer faces this challenge. That's why Christian Bruni developed Rhythm Foundations—a step-by-step system designed to take the guesswork out of learning drums.
With years of experience performing, recording, and teaching students just like you, Christian refined a proven method to build coordination, timing, and confidence-without frustration.
Now, for the first time, he's bringing this system to you. Ready to start drumming the right way?
Join professional drummer and educator Christian Bruni in a step-by-step journey to build your drumming skills from the ground up.
This online course is designed for absolute beginners, helping you develop confidence, coordination, and control behind the kit.
Through structured lessons, you'll learn essential grooves, rudiments, and fills, transforming basic strokes into musical ideas you can actually use.
As you progress, you'll explore dynamics, independence, and creative expression, laying the groundwork for more advanced drumming.
And when it's time to play with real music?
Christian provides play-along tracks and expert guidance to help you lock into the groove, stay in time, and play with confidence—whether you're jamming at home or performing with a band.
