Concepts In Drumming has the reputation of creating well versed students of the drums in a very reasonable amount of time in many styles of music. The menu ranges as follows: Rock, Straight Ahead Jazz, Funk, Fusion, Latin, Reggae, and Hip-Hop just to name a few. It is referred to as a menu because the student is able to choose which of the styles he would like to focus on. Although it is advised to study as many different styles of music as possible, nothing is forced on the student. These lessons are for the enjoyment of the student in all aspects of the lessons. Aside from styles, there is also a focus on musical scenarios. For instance: Chart Reading, Studio Playing, Playing to a click, Live Performance, Playing song forms, Transcription and so on. This creates a well rounded musician and makes him / her more valuable to market himself / herself in the future, as well as builds a confident musician.

Fran's unique methods and approaches to teaching the art of playing drum set are truly innovative. All of the great methods, techniques and fundamentals of the past have been coupled with Fran's own techniques which were discovered throughout his 24 year (and still counting) journey of learning the instrument. The result is an evolution of drum set instruction which is more sympathetic to the requirements of  a professional drummer by present day standards. These methods can truly change the way you think about playing!!
