You’re a musician who practices.
You understand the notes, but when you play, something still feels unstable.
The pulse drifts.
Phrasing disconnects.
Ideas don’t fully settle into the groove.
I’m Dave Smith, a professional drummer from the UK. Studying with West African master drummers changed rhythm for me from something I thought about to something I felt.
I created Deep Groove Workshops as a space for musicians who want to develop their time, feel, and groove through focused practice and practical musical application.
Inside you’ll get:
• live deep-dive workshops
• a growing replay library
• rhythm exercises and applications
• practical ways to develop pulse, subdivision, phrasing, and feel
This work is about moving from:
understanding → feeling → application
Current Workshop:
Using Polyrhythms in Your Playing
Exploring:
• 2 over 3
• 4 over 3
• applying polyrhythms naturally in 4/4
Founders access is currently open at a $47/annual payment.
