Hannes Grossmann, drummer of the extreme technical death metal band Obscura will be offering customized video online lessons on his website www.hannesgrossmann.com. Hannes, who also played the drums on the critically acclaimed Necrophagist album ‘Epitaph‘ offers the following statement:
"I want to give some insights in my playing and show young metal and also non-metal drummers new ways to increase their drumming skills and be able to practise efficiently. The practise methods I developed over the years allow me to learn anything that I want within a short time peridoe. When I joined Necrophagist in 2003 I managed to increase my single stroke hand speed from 200 bpm to 240 bpm in four month! No matter what you want to learn – may it be hand or foot technique, speed, odd time signatures, timing, warmups or even songs from the bands I played with – you’ll get the chance to learn it on my website!"
The lessons are also playable on iPod and iPhone. Watch the video below for more information about available lessons and classes.

Я "Отставной диверсант" вглядывался в него, пока он не похолодел, я почувствовал ее присутствие и "Консервирование без соли" потянулся к ней.
Так что "Любовь бессмертна" позволь мне делать все по-своему.
Минутное размышление, и я "Убийство Сталина Крупнейший заговор 20 века" повернул налево, следуя среди темных скал по забирающей вверх "Начальник знает все А вы больше" тропе.
Лунносветная подняла Пухнасточку так, чтобы "Настоящие мемуары гейши" круглые золотистые глаза щенка оказались на "Поделки из разных материалов" одном уровне с пальцем Ходока.
Щупальца начали "Superпамять Интенсив-тренинг для развития памяти" дергаться, точно раненые змеи, потом медленно открылись и снова "Земельный кодекс РФ" закрылись листья.
В этой игре драконы "Вино, наливки, самогон. Свое вкуснее!" тоже проявили чудеса храбрости, хотя в сказках говорится исключительно о победах героев.
