The latest
2.5 hours of groove, rhythm, time feel, technique, and the art of active listening to sync with the rhythms that surround you. This book/video series primarily focuses on the enhancement of my three-finger rhythmic technique, yet it is versatile enough to accommodate your personal technical goals for the instrument, allowing for broader application and growth.
Over 2-hours of a page-by-page workout through my book "Right Hand Drive" (sold separately). Right Hand Drive primarily explores Damian's unique, 3-finger, percussive style of using his plucking hand. It contains a wealth of patterns, grooves and exercises specifically tailored to developing this technique. Readers are also presented with a myriad of ways to practice combining harmonic and rhythmic exercises and use them to explore harmony in new ways. Regardless of your chosen techniques, readers will discover how to incorporate them in exciting ways and learn how to create exercises of their own. "...While introducing this almost flamenco-like method, there are a number of great scale and rhythm exercises included along the way. As the exercises get more complex, different "rudiments" are listed (somewhat based on the category of essential patterns used in drumming), as well as fills, licks, and solos. The second half is less "eccentric," but just as succinct, creative, and playful as the first. It's one of the best looks at arpeggios, modes, and chords I've seen, with clear explanations that will be helpful and accessible to players at most skill levels." - Amazon Reviewer (who said it best)

NEW ALBUM RELEASE!
“In This Moment” was recorded with Greg Goebel (pno) & Charlie Doggett (drms/perc) and is a bit of a departure from my last few releases. I’ve always loved piano trios and I can’t express my gratitude to these two pillars of the Portland scene for joining me on this one…. I love these guys and I know that you will, too.
