Kiko Freitas - Drum Lessons

"The idea of this App is to show the student and musician my vision and approach aplying some of the most important brazilian rhythms and styles on the drum set. It is very important to remember that the best way to understand and get to know any music style is to listen and play these styles, living and breathing them deeply and also getting to know the masters and the recordings that best represent the music you want to learn. I would like to thank all the great drummers who came before, opening the way to the new generations and giving form to the percussive tradition from Brasil on the drum set."
