About Ray
Practically all drummers can only use the numbers 1(single stroke), 2(double strokes) or a very slow 3(awkward looking triple stroke that doesn't even bounce, they're actually doing 3 single strokes). I can teach students to use numbers 1-9 (yes 9 bounces with 1 strike, unbelievable considering today's standards) so far. The complexities of combinations of 1-9 are far greater than 1-3. I've never witnessed advanced Moeller technique on a drum set except from myself. Takes an average of several months to learn the Moeller technique and an additional several months or so(I've practiced 2 years) to use the Advanced Moeller technique on a drum set.
Intriguing and makes me feel better. I never had resources for drumming growing up and I had a bad life in general, I could only dream of having a good quality drum set and listen to music. I've accomplished more in 2 years than professionals who've been playing for decades that still haven't evolved to proper foundations for a true modern drumming standard. Over 99% of drummers are double stroke drummers, they only have the power of 1&2. I have the power of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and I need to find 9 stuff to work on, I'm not that good at 9 yet but I'm going to work on it.
I don't want this new technique to die like the Moeller technique almost has. I wouldn't have come this far without instruction from 2 Key Drummers : Jim Chapin who passed the Moeller technique on and Gary Chester who's concept of The New Breed on drumming creates a greater independence of hands and feet. I'm going to revolutionize drumming, once I get recognized by the drumming/music community etc I'll be moving away from Virginia(sometime in 2022).

Double bass technique
Double hi hat technique
Prototype Cymbal Stacking, (not sold in stores) I had to make my own and can teach you how to make them.
Moeller Technique
Multipad Technique
1st Standard in Drum Set set up, even professionals don't know how to set up a drum set properly. They create cliffs, I'll teach you how to create roads.
Tenor Players are welcome, y'all are better than most drummers already, marching is kind of like playing bass drum/hi hat etc with your feet. You should pick it up pretty easily. I actually use the tenor set up for drum set! Instead of only being able to bounce across 2 drums like most tenor players, you'll be able to bounce across 4 or more! Imagine an 8 stroke roll but all strokes across different drums(that's right 8 different sounds)! That's only a tiny unbelievable example!
Truly groundbreaking progress for modern drumming.

With only 1 lesson, you'll be taken back in time and realize that the best drummers came from a history almost forgotten. Back in the old war days, do you think drummer boys were taught to play? No, they learned naturally and weren't hindered by today's standards. They had to learn how to play efficiently because of having to play for several hours at a time while marching! Most of today's teaching encourages carpal tunnel syndrome.

As the great Gary Chester has said
Desire, Motivation and a Goal is necessary for this to work.
If you're truly passionate about drumming, I've accomplished the foundation for the next step in modern drumming, I can train you to have the ability to exercise The Advanced Moeller Technique on drum set amongst other techniques as well.

Details
Students 12 and under Learn for Free (that's right, no cost)! 24$ a lesson (Best Price) ages 13 and up, Seniors and Military get a 50% discount! I would consider teaching for free to underprivileged students (13&up) like myself. If you're not familiar with the Moeller Technique you'll only need 1 lesson probably (until several months later) because it literally takes months of practice to get comfortable with it. I don't think anyone would need more than 3 lessons from my way, be weary of monthly payments from false teachers, they're only in it for the money(weekly/monthly lessons are certainly a scam). Paying more doesn't mean better training!
I can train at my apartment, online (coming soon) and if transportation is provided for me I can train at your place (if you have a drum set). I will set your drum set up properly as well or teach you how.
