In one hour, a single hour, this man gave an extensive and exhaustive recounting of the essential building blocks, skills, approach, and history of the drums......all with ageless, amazing enthusiasm and exuberance. What a blessing this wonderful man was to our craft. If you are not inspired by this video, perhaps the kazoo is a better choice for you. Truly exemplary.

Absolutely my favorite thing in this whole video is Dom's constant smile as he plays. His passion pours out in his playing and teaching. A few years ago I had the opportunity to see him live at a drum clinic in Toronto, Ontario and was very impressed. This lesson brought back many memories from that event. He conveys a fantastic message for the entire drumming community. Thanks for making this video available to everyone Drumeo!

I had the pleasure of seeing Dom at a drum Clinic in the UK, probably late 80's/early 90's. What is particularly memorable is how, in the pouring rain, he walked the entire length of the queue of drummers outside the venue, and shook hands with all of us! He spoke a lot about drumming but also about living. A true gent. Someone asked him why he has his two mounted toms the opossite way to how most of us do. Unfortunately I can't recall his answer!

Studied with Dom in early 2000s. You simply cannot overstate how sincerely enthusiastic he was about drumming, and even more so about learning and life. My lessons would routinely go long past their allotted hour, free of charge. And not because we were exploring exotic styles or advanced rhythms. He lost himself in the moment, went into a flow state, teaching me the free stroke, the fundamentals of rebounds and grip. He simply cared that much about furthering the art form and wanted me to achieve my full potential. It was as exciting to him as if we were deconstructing an advanced Tony Williams polyrhythm. It was positively energizing being in his presence. Truly a light that burned twice as bright for half as long, because he had enough love and energy for two lifetimes.

Dom, I just discovered you today. I was searching for a Neil Peart instructional video and ran across the drum lesson contest you are a big part of for our youth. I admired your generosity and I can appreciate your affiliation with the Peart family. I immediately searched your name and found this wonderful video. My gosh, you have the biggest smile, it’s infectious even over video. And watching you attack your kit like you haven’t seen a drum in months and months and missed it like a long lost lover. So much of this video is invaluable, I couldn’t mention one part that was a better lesson then another. I am a 63 year old man who just discovered I have a knack for drumming. I’ve always suspected it and dabbled on inexpensive kits my children had in their teens. I’ve played the piano since age eight and have a high end Yamaha DAW. But I find I’m a “Jack of all trades, master of none”. I enjoy music at higher level then an hobbiest or amateur, but could never reach a consistent pro-level performer. I bought a higher end E-Drum Kit by Alesis and fell in love with it. What I suspected was true, I have a knack. Plus the years on the keys have paid off with this instrument as far natural tempos, velocities, sonic sensitivity and I read music. I connect my drums to my cellphone to play along with cover songs I love through music apps..it’s a blast! I play at least three hours a night. I had already adopted some of your techniques just by playing, but didn’t know they were a real technique or even had names. I play my way, set up my kit-my way. My piano playing and lessons were extremely structured and it actually left me limited-unable to think outside the box with the piano. I didn’t want to do this with my new found love. Dom, I’m learning a new instrument at 63! And I love it. Thank you and team for making this important video. It’s excellent! I also wish you the best in your health. You’ve touched my life with this video,… and that big Ol’ smile, Thank you Sir. -Don

My favorite thing about this lesson is Dom's attitude. There's a plethora of things in here that I had no idea I needed to be working on. Just a ton of things I needed to here as a drummer. An instructor or a clinician can kind of turn people off to a lesson based on their personality alone, and that can vary from student to student. In this case, the way and manner in which Dom presents his lesson is warm and inviting to me personally. Thanks, as always.

So great to see Dom on here! In my 40 years of drumming, I’ve had the privilege of learning from some of the greats! Ralph Humphrey, Joe Porcaro, even Stanton Moore! A year and a half ago I reached out to Dom to try to tap into that heritage of teaching, that direct link to Moeller, Gladstone and Stone, along with their students Chapin and Morello, to learn it and be able to reference it in my own teaching. I got so much more. My hands have improved, my motions become more tension free, and little aches and pains gone. Little mysteries of technique which have eluded me for years are now cleared up. Can not thank Dom enough for what he’s brought to my playing and teaching career! And his positivity and enthusiasm are infectious. That can not be overlooked either.

Dom was doing that in the video were he would hit the bell of the cymbal and put his hand over it or hit the edge of the cymbal with the edge of the stick. He told me it was something he was working on. It was cool to see Dom still do that in this video, I like to throw it in at the end of a song if we are recording. So I got about 20 minutes of one on one with Dom where we talked sticks, correct way to hit a cymbal and tuning. The best advice Dom gave me and I pass it on to other drummers is what Dom says over and over in this video, Have fun. It dont matter what kind of set your playing, where your playing just have fun, have a great time playing, enjoy yourself. Thanks Dom for your wisdom and wanting to share your drumming knowledge with us. I hope someday to see you again. God Bless!

I appreciate how Mr. Famularo (more or less) lets a snare sound like a snare.

I saw Dom in Toronto about 20 years ago. At one point during his solo, he played triplets on his hi hat that got very quiet. He slowly leaned forward into the hats, until he was playing one of the notes of the triplet on the bottom rim of his glasses. I couldn't figure out where that note was coming from for a few seconds until I noticed his glasses were jumping up slightly. He waited until everyone reacted, looked up with a grin and brought everything up to a crescendo to end the solo. Such an awesome clinic.

Dom can express out loud all the feelings, emotions and ideas that flow around me every time I play my drums. From the moment he grabs his sticks, or starts talking (or laughing!), really...the whole pack is an unique and fantastic lesson! Awesome drumming. Merci beaucoup !!!

When I started playing the drums I got a cheap Mapex Q set, it was awesome, it came with a DVD in which Mr Famularo gave advice about all of the basics, and then he played a solo, it was mind blowing for 12 year old me

Drumming couldn´t have a better ambassador than Dom. He has something to offer for everyone, and does so with such passion and positivity. He´s a GREAT interviewer as well. Don´t miss his interviews on The Sessions Panel with Steve Jordan, Vinnie, Steve Smith and many others.

My 1st drum show in birmingham uk, Dom hung out near the entrance and greeted people waiting to enter. We chatted and he was genuinely nice and keen to talk. Nice guy and for a young drummer, it meant loads.

Love seeing Dom here. Caught a clinic of his back in the 90s and he's still just as energetic, entertaining, and inspiring. I just love all the stories he has of the legendary drummers.

Terrific lesson, insight, and vibe! Who else was shocked Dom was probably the loudest drummer on Drumeo thus far ? 😄👍 1:02:37, the man has the spirit and then some. I think and feel that the intangible, individual aspects are more crucial to drumming than they are to any other instrument or activity. I would argue that point.

saying constant learning is so true! I have a passion for always to further my drumming vocabulary. Do you have said so many things I've for the longest time did myself so hearing your very informative lesson with classic stories like Krupp being in over 100 movies love him and never knew the cool trivia you told along with self expression again that is what it is all about you're a humble great musician and hope to meet you one day I'm a former drummer for Indian violinist L.Shankar and Duran Duran filling in for friend great guy Steve Ferrone. Another great Italian Famularo!! I couldn't shut this off what a good story teller and nice cat!!!

I had the fortune to met mr. Dom Famularo two times, when he was in Italy for a wonderful masterclass. I think the best parts are when he talk about the concepts of “movement and sound” and about our natural grip when we hold a stick. Lovely!

I love this guy. I love the way he speaks to his drum set with a huge smile as he asked them (I'm back ...did you miss me??) I love his attitude "As I live I'm still learning". Thanks Drumeo thanks Dom Famularo.
