A Lineage of Technique – The Spivack Method Reinvented

These lessons are based on the iconic Murray Spivack technique — a system handed down to Gavin through direct study with Chad Wackerman, who was one of Spivack’s most accomplished students. As an online drum tutor, Gavin brings this rare methodology to drummers around the world with precision, clarity, and a personal touch.
This method focuses on motion efficiency, grip optimization, and sound control. As you work through your jazz drum lessons or rock grooves, you’ll notice a transformation not only in your timing but in your tone and feel. Gavin incorporates unique exercises that help you learn drum rudiments in depth, rebuilding your fundamentals from the ground up — with an emphasis on musical application.
The Spivack approach is a gateway to mastering styles like fusion, funk, progressive rock, and especially jazz. If you’re looking to learn jazz drumming, these lessons offer an unparalleled technical foundation that makes improvisation feel natural.

Who It’s For – And What You’ll Achieve

Gavin’s instruction is for committed musicians — drummers who’ve built a solid base and are hungry for growth. If you’ve hit a ceiling with YouTube tutorials or generic courses, working with a drum teacher online who tailors every session to your needs can be the breakthrough you’re looking for.

With each session, you’ll:

• Diagnose and fix technical inconsistencies
• Deepen your understanding of groove, feel, and time
• Apply grip and motion mechanics to real-world playing
• Build confidence in soloing, improvising, and reading

The curriculum is flexible enough to support your musical goals, whether that’s mastering swing feel, improving studio chops, or preparing for a music program audition.

Gavin’s teaching is rooted in tradition but responsive to the modern drummer’s reality — offering some of the best online drum lessons available today.
