CHIMAIRA Drummer Offering Lessons Via SKYPE

February 17, 2010

Drummer Andols Herrick of Cleveland, Ohio metallers CHIMAIRA will be testing out teaching drum lessons via Skype over the next two weeks, and again after the band's upcoming tour in the U.K. with TRIVIUM. This is a chance for beginner-to-intermediate-level drummers all over the world to work one-on-one with Andols from wherever is convenient for you!

The lessons will be similar to the in-person ones done in Cleveland — usually split between focusing on hands and focusing on the whole kit (or just kick drum pads, if noise is a problem). As long as you have either a webcam or a built-in one on your laptop, all you have to do is download Skype and the video to video interaction doesn't cost anything.

If you're interested, please contact Andols at [email protected]. Be sure to add him on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace for updated information on this and other projects as well.

HardTimes.ca conducted an interview with Andols Herrick when CHIMAIRA played in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on November 9, 2009. Watch the chat below.

CHIMAIRA guitarist Matt DeVries sat out the last few weeks of the band's European tour so that he could be home in time for the birth of his son. Filling in for him for the European dates was Emil Werstler of DAATH.

CHIMAIRA completed a tour of Australia and New Zealand in January. Support on the trek came from DOUBLE DRAGON. This was CHIMAIRA's first headlining Australian tour, having previously played the country as a support act for IN FLAMES, BIOHAZARD and KORN.
