Starting Friday, January 16th, we're doing something I'm genuinely pumped about. A 2-week experience for musicians who want to finally feel SOLID with their timekeeping—not chasing the groove, but staying rhythmically connected no matter what's happening around you. Here's what's happening: Friday Jan 16: Build Your 2026 Rhythm Plan (90 min) - Deep Groove Compass assessment (TIME, RHYTHM, FEEL, CONNECT) - Live demo: How I practice staying rhythmically connected to the groove in any situation - Build your personalised practice plan for steady, reliable, in-the-pocket playing - Get ready for the Virtual Practice Room Monday Jan 19 - Friday Jan 23: Virtual Practice Room - 20-minute sessions together (choose your timezone: 9am, 1pm, or 4pm UK) - 5-minute rhythm workout to start each session - Then 15 minutes practicing YOUR material with solid pulse and rhythmic connection - You're not alone, but you're not performing - Daily rhythmic focus: TIME → RHYTHM → FEEL → CONNECT → INTEGRATION Monday Jan 26: Integration Session (60 min) - Debrief the practice week - Reflection: What worked, what clicked, what challenged you - Refine your plan based on real experience - Q&A and next steps discussion And by the end? You'll have: ✅ A clear plan for developing rock-solid timekeeping and rhythmic connection in 2026 ✅ The Triangle method grounding your pulse and rhythm in your body ✅ 5 days of consistent, focused rhythmic practice under your belt ✅ Experienced what it feels like to practice with accountability and direction Who's this for? Musicians who: - Tend to rush when excited or drag when concentrating - Feel like they're chasing the groove instead of staying rhythmically connected - Second-guess where the beat is - Want to feel steady, reliable, connected, and in the pocket - Practice rhythm alone without knowing if they're actually improving their time Any instrument. Any level. What you get: - Complete 2-week workshop experience - One month Premium membership access - Weekly workouts + 15+ archived sessions - Triangle Workshop + Sabar Series - Community support

Thanks to @Karen Rupar, @Cassie Larson and @Francois Moreau for the hang today! Check out the replay here and put your comments and feedback back below :)

I've been talking with some of you about staying consistent with practice. Here's the reality: even after 20+ years, I drift without a system. Even with projects and deadlines ahead, I need to sit down and plan. Otherwise momentum dies. Consistency is what transforms random sessions into real progress. And real progress is what lets you actually enjoy playing music. That's the path: Practice. Progress. Play. I'm thinking about putting together a workshop for early January where we build our 2026 rhythm practice plans together. We'd cover: → Daily rhythm workout structure (that you'll actually do) → How to show up consistently without burning out → Building momentum that lasts → Setting goals that motivate instead of overwhelm I'd also share musical examples of what I'm preparing for upcoming projects - how I'm breaking down the rhythm work and building it into daily practice. Couple of hours live with Q&A. Recording + all the planning materials afterward. Under $30. Early January. If this sounds useful, drop a comment below. I'm gauging interest before I put it all together. Dave

New: I've titled all the replay sessions so you can navigate the recordings more easily. See screenshot below 👇 Reminder: Rhythm Hang this Wednesday - now twice monthly, 30 mins each. Come with questions, updates, or just to hang out! Your turn: Drop a comment below: - Where are you at in your rhythm journey? - How are you finding Rhythm Skool so far? - What's clicking for you?

I've just added the recording and a screenshot of the groove written out inside the description / summary from the transcript. Let me know what was going on for you! Was it helpful? did anything click? was it fun? All feedback welcome :) Head over here to check it out: https://www.skool.com/rhythm-skool/classroom/9d8ff1f0?md=91f7cac8f0ee41159ef895beb591dde9
