Create Hypnotic Drum Patterns That Pull Listeners Into Your Music

Free (beginner friendly) mini-course: level up your drum programming AND your Push skills

  • Did you buy a Push and then feel overwhelmed about where to start? If you're new to Ableton Live too, that overwhelm doubles.

  • Or maybe your Push has been sitting quiet for a while, and you're looking for a reason to switch it back on.

  • After over a decade of teaching people how to use Push 1, 2 and 3 as an official Ableton Product Specialist, I'm ready to show you everything you need to know.

Who is the Drum Mode Bootcamp For?

  • You want to make music, not spend your evenings reading manuals.

  • You know your Push can do far more than you're getting out of it right now.

  • You're tired of drum loops that sound fine on the first pass and boring by the fourth.

  • Good news: you can fix all three, and Drum Mode Bootcamp is the perfect place to start.
