The story behind the creative minds that developed the method
Ali Rios
A seasoned drum teacher with over 30 years of experience as both a professional musician and an educator. Throughout his extensive career, Ali discovered the key factors that enable students to truly evolve in their drumming practice. These include the importance of having fun and the use of orchestration techniques that apply the same drum figures across different kit components in various ways to achieve a unique yet consistently perfect sound.
When creating the method he emphasized the importance of simplicity and creativity. By focusing on the effective use of a few drum figures, students learn to create complex rhythms and impressive solos without feeling overwhelmed.

Raul M.
Raul M. is an engineer with limited artistic skills for drumming and a big fan of schematizing, simplifying, and improving any learning process. Despite trying various methods and teachers, he struggled to make progress, but after meeting Ali and experiencing his method, Raul's drumming skills began to improve rapidly.
Inspired by this success, the two of them decided to collaborate and refine the method. They introduced additional elements such as colors, animals, and more structured exercises, making the method easier to follow, more instructive, and above all, more enjoyable.
The combination of Ali and Raul skills has created a revolutionary drumming method that blends professional insights with innovative teaching techniques, ensuring that learning the drums is not only effective but also a lot of fun.
