🎓🥁 What if you could study with a former Berklee College of Music professor—without leaving home and without taking on massive student debt?

For many drummers, attending Berklee has always been a dream. But for countless musicians, the cost of tuition and mandatory courses unrelated to their personal goals can make that dream feel out of reach.

Now there’s another way.

Professor Henrique De Almeida—holder of a degree in Jazz Composition and a Master’s degree in Music Performance—has spent decades building a remarkable career as a professional drummer, educator, recording artist, and touring musician. After teaching at the collegiate level for many years, including serving as a full professor at Berklee College of Music, Henrique founded his own school: **The Drum Set Coach Academy**, home of **The Drum Set Coach University (TDSC University)**.

Why is TDSC University different?

Henrique wasn’t just a professor at Berklee—he was one of its most respected educators and the creator of some of its most popular drum curriculum. His courses, including the **Moeller Technique Workshop** and **Double Pedal Integration**, among many others , he helped shape the development of drummers from around the world. His Double Pedal Integration workbook earned a 4.5-star rating from Modern Drummer Magazine.

Today, drummers worldwide can experience the same high-level instruction, concepts, and proven teaching methods that Henrique developed and taught at Berklee—directly from the source.

✅ Live online classes via Zoom
✅ Semester-long programs with a master educator
✅ Structured curriculum and personalized feedback
✅ Learn from anywhere in the world
✅ No relocation, no unnecessary coursework, and no overwhelming debt

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to study with a world-class drum educator in a true university-style environment, this is your opportunity.

📧 Email: [email protected]
📌 Subject Line: **TDSC University**

We'll schedule a personal interview, answer your questions, and give you a complimentary tour of our virtual campus so you can see if the program is right for you.

The next step in your drumming journey could be one email away.

🥁 Train with a master teacher. Study with purpose. Build the skills to reach your highest potential.

Fall Semester starts in September! So, schedule your appoint today! There is still time!

🔥 WANT TO PLAY MODERN JAZZ LIKE THE MASTERS? 🔥

In this short video, I'm showing my students how to make the transition from straight-ahead swing time into a more modern "broken time" feel—a concept made famous by legendary drummers like Roy Haynes, Jack DeJohnette, and many of today's most creative jazz artists.

This ability to move seamlessly between traditional timekeeping and modern jazz phrasing is one of the defining skills of advanced jazz drumming.

And that's exactly why I created **The Jazz Coordination Ritual**.

🎯 This isn't just another collection of exercises.

It's a complete, step-by-step system developed through decades of teaching at Berklee College of Music, The Drum Set Coach University, and my private academy. The program takes you from:

✅ Basic swing timekeeping
✅ Reading and comping with the snare drum
✅ Integrating bass drum coordination
✅ Developing hi-hat independence
✅ Four-way coordination and modern jazz phrasing
✅ Broken time concepts and advanced improvisational freedom

Whether you're a beginner learning your first jazz grooves, a high school jazz band drummer, a college student, or a touring professional looking to sharpen your skills, this course provides a proven roadmap for growth.

I've used these materials with students as young as 10 years old and with advanced professionals from around the world—and I still practice these concepts myself every week.

🎓 DRUM SET COACH UNIVERSITY – FALL 2026 ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN

This September, we'll be launching another semester of real, structured online courses inside our virtual campus.

In This video you can see a sample from one of our TDSCU Courses. This clip is from a Jazz course entitle: "The Jazz Coordination Ritual" book available on Hudson Music, and at ThedrumSetCoach site. This is from a live classroom setting , and we were talking about jazz time feels, including "Broken Time" students were learning how to play in 4/4 swing using the ride, hi-hat, bass drum and snare drum plus the entire kit, to keep the flow, and at the same time create dialog and phrasing. This requires 4-limb coordination, which is addressed on the course as well. The hi hat and ride is not only playing the time, but it is also part of the "conversation"

Join TDSCU This Fall and get lots of cool professional training!
