Master your kick, snare & hat so nothing else matters.

Kick, Snare, Hat is a groove-focused course with legendary session drummer Ash Soan (Adele, Seal, Snow Patrol). Centred on intention, consistency, and feel, Ash shows how to make the simplest grooves sound great—and how to expand them with confidence. You’ll work through essential 8th-note grooves, 16th-note straight and swung feels, and learn how to seamlessly play between straight and swung time, building grooves that feel solid, musical, and endlessly adaptable.

SKILLS YOU’LL LEARN

Get them right and the whole kit comes alive.

Most drummers think they need more.

More drums. More cymbals. More fills. But the groove that makes people move starts with three things. Kick, snare, and hi-hat. Get those right and you barely need anything else. Skip past them and nothing you add will save it.

Most drummers skip past them. They treat the groove as the bit between the fills, keep adding complexity, and wonder why it still doesn't sit.

Consistency. Intent. Dynamics.

Get those three things working across your kick, snare, and hi-hat and everything changes. That's what this course is about.

Play your kick, snare, and hi-hat well enough that the rest doesn't matter.

In 30 days, you'll be able to…

Land every note right where you want it

You might not know your snare is wandering, your kick coming off early, your hat rushing. But once you do, you can fix it. 


You'll learn to place every voice exactly where you intend it. The groove stops feeling unpredictable and starts feeling like yours.

Stop fighting the click

Most drummers spend years playing with a metronome without ever learning to really use it. 


Know exactly where you sit in the beat and can push or pull deliberately. The click stops feeling like a test and starts feeling like something you play around.

Make simple grooves sound musical

A groove can feel flat without you knowing why. The difference is usually in the small choices. A grace note after the snare, a slightly open hi-hat, a double on the kick. 


You'll start hearing what the music is asking for and making those calls instinctively.

Meet Your Instructor

Ash Soan

Ash Soan

Ash Soan has played on over 70 top 10 albums, including 3 Grammy winners and 40 number ones. He has performed live with Snow Patrol and Seal, and his playing has appeared on recordings for Adele, Taylor Swift, and Dua Lipa.

Artists at the highest level trust him for one reason: His feel.

That feel starts with kick, snare, and hi-hat. They are the heart of everything. Get them right and the whole kit comes alive.

Here’s how you’ll get there.

Master kick, snare, and hat grooves in 4 easy steps:

1. Learn the techniques

Ash explains exactly what's required for each groove before you play a single note.

2. Play along with Ash

Follow the groove in real time as Ash demonstrates exactly how the kick, snare, and hi-hat work together.

3. Practice with the interactive transcription

Every groove has its own transcription in the app showing you exactly what to play and where you are. Slow it down, speed it up, and repeat until it sits.

4. Join Ash live to refine your feel

Bring your questions to the live workshops where Ash helps you troubleshoot in real time. Can't make it live? The replays will be there when you are.

Get live support from Ash

Ash will host FOUR live workshops, sharing the kind of insight that only comes from 45 years behind the kit, hundreds of recording sessions, and a lifetime spent understanding what truly makes a groove land.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

The course runs May 4-30th.

You’ll get four short (around 10-minute) lessons each week to follow along with. And if you want to go at your own pace, you can always revisit the lessons anytime.

Each lesson is short and focused, most are under 10 minutes.

You can make real progress with just a few minutes a day. Of course, the more time you put in, the more you’ll get out of it.

Yes.

You’re working on the fundamentals you use every time you sit at the kit, so you’ll start to feel a difference in your timing, control, and overall groove quickly.

If you’re brand new, some grooves might feel like a stretch at first, and that’s a good thing. That’s where the progress happens. You can take everything at your own pace and focus on getting comfortable before moving forward.

And if you already have some experience, you’ll quickly realize this isn’t “basic” at all, it’s the stuff that separates average drummers from great ones.

So no, it’s not too hard. It’s just focused on the part of drumming that matters most.

Not at all.

You can get everything in this course out of a basic kit. Kick, snare, hi-hat… kind of the whole point 😄

No fancy gear, no big setup. In fact, limiting yourself to the essentials helps you focus on what really matters: timing, control, and feel.

If it sounds good on a simple kit, it’ll sound even better when you expand.

It’s yours for life. Revisit the lessons anytime and come back to these grooves whenever you need inspiration.

If you join by April 30th, you’ll get access to four LIVE online workshops with Ash Soan. Jump in, hear how he approaches the concepts in the course, ask a few questions, or just hang out and talk drums.

It’s a rare chance to connect with Ash live, so don’t miss it.

No worries. You’re covered by Drumeo’s 90-day money-back guarantee.
