FAQ

Level 1 Trial Version specific Frequently Asked Questions

These are some specifical Frequently Asked Questions about Level 1 Trial Version. If you have a question about something else please refer to our main FAQ section where all are bundled.

What is the difference between the Full Version and the Trial Version of Level 1?

About 2300 pages. You'll get the first paragraph for FREE. If you like it you can by the full version whenever you like by upgrading your upgrade in My Skillz.

How should I study from Level 1 Trial Version?

The basic idea is to work out the different time feels from G1-G9 a.s.a.p. But there is no one way, only your way. However, we encourage you to view Level 1 as a 3D method as much as possible.

1. Left to Right (Chapters/Time feels)

2. Top to bottom (Paragraphs/Subjects)

3. Front to back (Parts/Grooves, Fills, Tips etc.)

Do I need to be able to read music?

No, you'll learn this as you go. Theory is not our main focus. And we think it should never be. It's a good idea to learn it but always remember that there was music first, music notation second. Not the other way around.

I feel overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of Level 1. What should I do?

First breathe in and out deeply a few times. Feel better? Good. Level 1 is meant as an encyclopedia of drumming and rhythm exercises. Who's to say what's the correct order, or how long it should take you to absorb all the knowledge inside? You decide. If you need help, try sending us an email or visit a local teacher.
