Join author Jeff Asselin and renowned drum educator Matt Savage for a special two-day clinic celebrating the release of The Rudimental Blueprint—a groundbreaking new book designed to guide drummers through the art of rudimental snare drumming. Co-written with the legendary Chuck Burrows and edited by Savage himself (author of The Savage Rudimental Workshop), this innovative collection features over 100 solos and duets that lead players from fundamental strokes to advanced techniques. But it’s more than just a book—it’s a complete, structured learning experience rooted in social constructivist pedagogy.
Taking place at Dave’s Drum Shop in Ottawa on Tuesday, September 16, and Wednesday, September 17, this hands-on clinic is designed to kick-start your journey through The Rudimental Blueprint. Participants are encouraged to bring their sticks and practice pads, as the clinic will actively explore material from the book in real time. Just like the book itself, the clinic mirrors a social constructivist approach to learning, prioritizing collaborative engagement, scaffolded instruction, and real-world application.
Attendees will also receive a behind-the-scenes look at how each solo is supported by curated YouTube playlists (accessible via QR code), which provide step-by-step video demonstrations at various tempos. Whether you're a student, teacher, or seasoned player, this clinic offers a unique opportunity to build your skills alongside two leading voices in modern rudimental drumming.
