The exercise package
The Drummer’s Tatami consists of two central components. On the one hand, you get lifelong access to Benedikt's online database. Here you will find a variety of video instructions and examples for your practice sessions. Secondly, this is what you get Custom-made exercise booklet (A4, 100 pages) with which you can structure and plan each of your exercises. On top of that, you will also receive a poster and the option to access all content digitally.
​
Constantly new learning content
As part of his personal drumming journey and the further development of the Drummer's Tatami method, Benedikt has started a challenge on Instagram: Every week he shares a new video in which he works with the method. You can then find the corresponding sheet, instructions and videos in the database, which is constantly growing.
​"A tatami is a traditional Japanese floor mat. As a big fan of Japanese art and culture, I discovered the tatami pattern as the perfect template for organizing my exercise ideas."
