About the course
Throughout this course we will go over different dynamics, articulations, feels & note rates, in addition to different accents and variations. I hope to expand your creativity by demonstrating over 60 different patterns that are easily applied to many musical situations. These patterns will be shown on screen to help you understand the material without feeling the pressure of having to memorize them, and they've been split into 4 distinct sets. After each set you will have the ability to hear them being played along to music. That way you can truly appreciate how each and every pattern has its own personality, as they interact with various instruments and vibes. I've also included a PDF of every pattern so that you can play along and apply them to many of your favorite songs. So join me and let's get started with the shaker, your new money maker!

I’m a professional composer/producer/musician and realized I had never really spent time learning shaker basics. I play shaker all the time but never really got into the minucia. Demian’s class takes you from zero-to-hero and filled in so many gaps for me that I didn’t even know existed. I’m super impressed. Highly recommended course.

Demian gives clear, insightful instructions. The class is interesting and really well presented. Up to now, I would have said that the shaker *felt like it should be easy, and yet my playing was off and would frustrate me. This course has given me a solid beginning vocabulary to practice with and I'm really grateful.

Clear and easy to follow instructions!

This is a very useful course for beginners to advanced musicians - it will help you understand the shaker and inspire you to consider the many ways that shaker can be applied. I feel more comfortable now if an opportunity arises where I'll be called on to play or record shaker and I am more informed when choosing to add a shaker part to a composition. Very good course!
