RE: Drum Highway Members Vault

Hello, I’m Josh Quirk.

Over the last 25 years of playing and teaching I have discovered that it takes 3 main skills to be a successful drummer.

If a drummer has one of these things, they’re good.

Two and they’re great.

All three things makes them a professional drummer.

That’s why I developed my entire teaching platform around these 3 vital skills:

3 Keys To Drumming Mastery!

Key #1 – How to master the technical tricks needed to play any groove or rhythm quickly.

My Breakdown Method shows how to count and split any groove down into the component parts to resolve problem areas and get the drummer performing any groove fast!

Key # 2 – How to play, understand, and connect all styles of music.

The ability to spot the similarities within genres allows any drummer to learn new styles quickly and switch between them easily and smoothly.

This is beyond important when a jazz band chart changes styles in the middle or concert band piece changes feel.

Key # 3 – How to make good musical decisions that support the music and the band.

When the technical parts are mastered, your drummers can get on with making of music!

Dynamics in concert band, reacting to the jazz band soloist, timing in marching band.

Real life scenarios are built in to the lessons that offer powerful tips to improve the listening skills and musicality!

Listen To What Educators And Parents Had To Say About Josh And The Drum Highway Method…

Schools and students save money on lessons, masterclasses, and books.
Tech and library budgets often help offset membership costs.
It’s like having a private teacher on staff all the time.
No travel for lessons because the student can access Drum Highway at home.
Drum Highway helps your students giving you time to focus on other areas.

Drum Highway Has Been Honored To Show At Many Music Educator Conferences Including

The Midwest Clinic and TMEA!

Getting direct feedback from educators and students has been a big part of why Drum Highway works!

“…In my experience, what separates the best musicians from the impressive technicians is their ability to get inside the music they are playing, to understand the essence of it and express it through their instrument.

That’s why I am loving Drum Highway!”

— Steve Ferrone

Steve Ferrone of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and The Average White Band as well as dozens of other gold and platinum albums.

“Drum Highway is amazingly thorough! I think it's not only great for beginners but for advanced players.”

-Mark Walker

Here's Just Few Ways Drum Highway Will Help Your Students Progress!

The Breakdown Method will show your students exactly how to learn new grooves quicky, with less effort.

Drummers will more quickly understand the connection between styles used in Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Funk, Brazilian, Rock, and more!

They’ll know how to listen and make quick adjustments to handle uncertain situations when performing.

Your students will improve their technique, rudiments, and reading skills.
Use Drum Highway to explore world beats and how to use them in any style of music.

Students will achieve a new level of confidence knowing that they can play any style of music because they see the relationship between beats and styles.

Don't Just Take My Word For It.

Here's what some of my Most Succesful students And Top Educators have said...

"Josh is an amazing instructor. Our older daughter took lessons for almost 10 years and our younger son is currently a student. Even though they have different learning styles, Josh is a perfect fit for both."

— Doyle and Shannon Slifer

"Josh is an amazing drum teacher! He knows more about drumming than anyone I've ever met. When I first met Josh I knew next to nothing about drumming, but through his guidance I've gone through solo recitals, and performances with the Parkland College Orchestra. Now I'm transferring to the University of Illinois School of Music. Josh Quirk will teach you what you need to know about the art of percussion and music."

— Justin Franklin

(Parkland College student)

“Josh is an incredible instructor! I started taking drum lessons with him a year ago, with no previous music background. Now I am in a band and I just played my first gig!”

— Jennifer Corbin

“Drum Highway is focused toward drummers, but no matter what your instrument you'll learn something useful from Josh Quirk's light-hearted but no-nonsense approach. If you want to be a pro, you need to know a little about everything. Josh will show you what you need to know, why it's important, and even pro tricks to get yourself out of a jam. (I loved the $50 fill!).”

— Dr. Peter Roubal D.M.A.,

Music Program Director, Parkland College

“Video-based music websites and segments have existed on-line before, but Josh Quirk has extended the impact of proven instructional videos with a clear and energized set of materials for the drum student and music programs for children and adults. Drum Highway has been student tested by percussion students and private teachers to great success. It can motivate anyone to learn to apply basic skills to making creative, musical connections to performing.”

— Dr. G. David Peters,

Professor of Music, Indiana University- IUPUI, Head of Graduate Studies in Music Technology and Past President of Electronic Courseware Systems, Inc.

“Some drum books have clinical repetitive exercises based upon logical mathematical formulas. Josh Quirk’s Drum Highway is not one of those! It’s written by a real drummer and serious teacher. Josh’s book will improve your drumming while adding to your overall musicianship. It’s fun and it covers a lot of ground!
