## What is Drum Clinic HD?

Drum Clinic HD was and still is the first real clinic by a pro drummer, purpose built for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch! If you wanna learn more about grooves, fills, improvisation, rudiments, independence and brushes.......this is simply a must have!

Hans Eijkenaar is a well known and much sought after session drummer in the Netherlands with a successful career both in Holland and abroad. His list of tours and recorded albums is huge and he is considered to be a specialist studio drummer. He is well known for being a versatile, creative and explosive drummer with a personal style...........best known for his pop and rock career.........but with a history in jazz and fusion. Hans is a Conservatory teacher (Codarts, Rotterdam) and has developed a powerful and transparent method for drummers of any style and of multiple levels.

He unleashes all of his knowledge and has developed some very special views on studying drums, studying rudiments in a unique independence system, playing in all types of meter, improvising and playing fills in a creative, rather than a standard way..... He also is known for having a distinguished brushes technique for pop and rock which he demonstrates in several clips in a separate brushes chapter.

Hans has decided to go the extra mile in terms of recording a fully featured, HD audio and video clinic app with over 60 clips, presentation videos, instruction videos and play alongs. And he has recorded a separate chapter with drum solos......... All filmed with 6 XD HD cams to capture for once and for all every angle you wanna see as a drummer. Everything recorded in one of the finest recording studios around, Soundvisionstudios, Arnhem, the Netherlands.

'Drum Clinic HD'  needs (after downloading....) no further internet connection as all the videos are to be found within the app itself, enabling you to watch, listen and study anywhere you like.

Extra features:

Voiceovers with clear explanations, written music where needed, 'making of' and trailer movies, play along tracks (do it yourself) and a biography with links.

NOTE: PRINTABLE CHARTS ON SUPPORT PAGE (App Support).

### 5/5 — wow

*2014-12-21, version 1.1*

I disagree with Patrick, this app is amazing. Truly a skilled drummer (indeed check youtube) and high end conservatory teacher. This means it is not easy!!….I will chew on this for months, maybe years I reckon ;-) So check the light version to see whether you’re up for this…….obviously Patrick isn’t……otherwise, buy a pizza instead…….. :-)

### 1/5 — 👎

*2014-12-18, version 1.1*

I recently purchased the Drum Clinic HD app. I consider myself to be an intermediate drummer and was hoping this app would have the capacity to bring my skills to the next level. After paying the overinflated price for the app, I quickly realized that this was not going to be the vehicle to get me there. I am always willing to put in the practise to get better as I love the drums. 
This app was absolutely terrible and offered no insight. My only hope now for Drum Clinic HD is for Apple to completely remove this app from its store so that no one else gets ripped off. 
P.S. The YouTube videos are much better!

### 5/5 — Great Clinic, worth every cent!

*2013-02-06*

Took a chance with this one and I am suprised at the level of the drummer (apparently a Dutch hero) and the video and audio quality! He has great views on stuff and demonstrates this skilfully to say the least. Awesome stuff, maybe some pdfs can be included in an update? So far so good! 5 stars! Now let's try those groupings.....:-)

### 2/5 — Lack of written instruction

*2012-03-11*

This app would be grate if there was even just a small section that has written down what he is playing, it's not even possible to tell unless you already know what he is playing, you can't even slow the video down.
