Hey guys. Todd Hansen, The Berzerker drummer here. I've recently been asked by alot of drummers, young and old, alot of questions regarding the speed drumming techniques I use to play drums for The Berzerker. I am always happy to answer the questions i'm asked, however there is only so much I can describe in a typed message. So I've decided to offer people 1 on 1 lessons on Speed drumming. I will go through the basics like warm ups/warm down, set up, hand and feet techniques, speed building excercises, different types of blast beats and any other queries you may have about speed drumming. The Berzerker will be on tour throughout the UK in August/September. We also have dates in Europe and I am based in Malmo Sweden until November this year. I am also willing to do speed drumming clinics if they can be arranged.
If interested, please email me at:  torturedvengefulsoul@hotmail.com or message me on my personal myspace page: www.myspace.com/toddkase  for further details and availability.
Thanks guys!
Todd.

Hey everybody! Todd here. I'd like to draw your attention to these excellent drumming sites of which I am now a part of. Sick drummer is an American based sites whose focus is on metal drummers. Here's a description about the site from their Myspace page;
"Our website features drummers who play Metal music. There are all kinds of websites that feature other kinds of drummers, so we decided it was about time the Best Metal Drummers had a site for themselves! We only feature Metal drummers, but there are places on the site to link to other styles..." 

Blastology is a site whose main focus is on extreme metal drummers. They also have a hybrid site called 'Half man half machine' which is linked to their page.

And Drum Thumper is an Aussie based site. They focus on all genres and feature alot of the best Australia has to offer, as well as some of the finest international drummers.
It is a great honour and privledge for me to have been included on these sites. These guys work very hard to promote the great drummers of the world, and give and give drummers the recognition they deserve!  I am very excited to be a part of  it. So go and check me out on these sites and have a browse through them. There are many interesting articles, stories, reviews, tips and even lessons from the top drummers of the world!! I am currently a featured drummer on all 3, however you can search Todd Hansen and my profile will come up. CHECK THEM OUT!!! Here are the links.
