But in drumming \u2013 as in life \u2013 getting outside your comfort zone is the key to progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we dared jazz\/contemporary drummer Brandon Toews to play a complicated prog metal tune by the pioneers of djent, he did just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because Brandon is the consummate drum teacher, he took it as an opportunity to show you the learning process from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see everything from Brandon\u2019s first listen to his final performance (with heavy double kick to boot). Hopefully it inspires you to dive into a brand new genre and expand your drumming horizons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love this style of lesson? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/drum-cover-born-for-one-thing-gojira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a> to watch Drumeo co-founder Jared Falk learn a Gojira song from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe class=\"email-form-include-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/weeklyemail\" frameborder=\"none\"><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We challenged a jazz drum teacher to try playing a Meshuggah song.
