Schlagzeugvideocoach

I have been looking forward to the 1:1 with Jochen for almost a year and was not disappointed. The coaching was amazing. Thanks to Jochen's relaxed and approachable manner, I felt at ease from the very first minute and we worked together as equals.
Jochen was really well prepared for the coaching, he picked me up where I was and worked consistently with me on my desired topics (game analysis, groove and timing). A practice plan for the next few months was the result of two intensive days.
There was also plenty of time for extensive questions and discussions about drumming.
Jochen has shown me the adjustments for "GroovePlus" and I'm looking forward to working on them.
@Jochen: See you again next year. Thanks for your time, energy and above all your commitment.

Jochen's videos are always very refreshing and informative. The content is varied and his tips and tricks are always understandable and inspiring.
You also receive prompt feedback when you send an e-mail request.
Thumbs up for the coach.

Hello Jochen
What you have done here is worthy of all honors.
There is no better and clearer way to learn how to play the drums.
get across. With such intensity and precision as you can explain
is unique. I am very happy that I was allowed to do the course and I am taking
some very interesting exercises. I can only recommend anyone
who wants to learn drums to contact you. Thank you very much Jochen for the
great course until October 2025 for the drum and bass camp
Best regards Markus

Always qualified and quick answers. Many thanks

I have been taking lessons with Jochen for many years and have now also attended two drum and a drum+bass camp - certainly not for the last time. I always feel that I am in professional hands:
My individual concerns are addressed, I receive objective and constructive feedback/suggestions and have been able to noticeably improve my playing as a result - and continue to do so. Jochen strikes a good balance between highlighting successful areas and precisely analyzing and highlighting the aspects of my playing that still need to be improved. As part of this, I receive support not only with the drumming itself, but also with equipment/setup issues and recording monitoring and always feel well advised.
The workshops in Hammelburg are well structured, take place in a pleasant atmosphere and despite many different participants with different musical backgrounds, experiences and playing levels, there is enough opportunity to learn in the group but also to make progress for yourself.
I can therefore recommend camps and private lessons (if offered) with a clear conscience.

A multi-faceted, superbly structured online course to improve your own timing. Suitable for beginners as well as advanced students. Very professional and well thought out - great work!

I was at the Drum Camp in August 2024. Fantastic location and a very friendly group of 10 participants with different levels of ability. But not only was that not a problem, on the contrary, I found this heterogeneity to be an advantage for all participants. Jochen picked up and coached everyone at their own level. As always, he did this competently and in his grounded, friendly manner.
The exercises were all well thought out and followed a concept. For me, it wasn't important that I learned A LOT, but that I learned the RIGHT way. Individual wishes were addressed in advance and dealt with in full.
These camps always take me a step forward, and being accompanied by Stefan Hergenröder on bass is just awesome.
This was definitely not my last camp.

I've already been there twice. I've already signed up for 2 more DrumCamps in 2025! Jochen does a really great job! He is a very likeable, empathetic and cool dude. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an advanced player - he is able to pick up EVERYONE. Of course, a new drummer might be overwhelmed. An experienced drummer might get bored. But who defines starting and progressing? Experiencing people who are actually complete strangers, but who tick and click in the same way, is exactly what you can draw on for a long time after a weekend like this. And last but not least, you go home with concrete goals for individual improvement. An absolute recommendation! Great location, great food, great coach. ((Note the order :-) in our affluent society^^.)

A professional - on the drums and in mediation!

I attended Jochen Weigand's drum camp on the subject of timing in Hammelburg in July 2024. Rarely have I attended such a well-organized, structured and professionally run event as the Drum Camp - and not just in the area of music events, but across all events in general, of which I have attended one or two over the years.

Jochen provided all the necessary information in advance by e-mail and responded to questions in a very timely, friendly and detailed manner. The camp itself takes place in fantastic surroundings and professional facilities.

You can tell that Jochen has a lot of experience both in running camps and as a teacher - and is of course a great drummer. It was always clear what was going to happen next and when, there was a lot of work on the program but you never felt rushed, individual questions and problems were dealt with in detail so that everyone really got their money's worth and was able to take away something new.

It was also great to have a friend of mine, bassist Stefan, who added another very practical component to the whole thing. Both trainers exuded a lot of positive energy and fun and you can tell that they really want to help the participants progress. I can fully recommend the drum camp with Jochen. Thank you very much!

Drum Camp 05-2024
It was a great drum camp. The location was great and Jochen managed to turn 11 people into a unit that supports, motivates and helps each other. Partying together also worked right away. I immediately signed up for the next drum camp. Jochen teaches you in such a playful way that you only realize later how much you have learned and how far you have come. Jochen is very friendly and always answers every question in his calm manner until everyone has understood. Jochen doesn't just cram through the course, there's enough time for everyone to play, ask questions and so Jochen manages to turn 11 drummers of different levels into a unit. During these 3 days you have the feeling that we go through thick and thin no matter what happens. Because you feel like you're in good hands in the group. We are all not perfect, that's why we take part in the drum camps, we all want to get better at our hobby and Jochen's drum camps are the best opportunity to do so.

Jochen is responsive to every participant, every level finds something useful in the workshop
Mega cool atmosphere and good location

everything is great, that's how it should be !!!

An incredibly packed course. I (beginner) will probably watch the videos many times to absorb all the input. Jochen does a great job explaining and there is a lot of "material" in the form of pdf's and loops....Recommendable for every level. Thank you for all the work you have done!

Finally light in the jungle of exercises! The "Pad Essentials" are a great guide for me through the confusing mass of exercises on the Practice Pad. Each exercise is accompanied by an explanation of what should be taken into account and, above all, what the purpose of the exercise is. I have never read anything like this in a book of this kind. I thought carefully about my consistent 5-star rating in the individual sub-items and didn't just click on them. I am enthusiastic about the "Drum Video Coach" and the "Pad Essentials". That's all I need.

My questions and those of the other participants were explained very well and also integrated into the overall topic. Everything was well structured from start to finish, with plenty of room for questions... As there was a lot of technique involved (hand/foot), it was possible to try out and understand all the exercises but not go into them in depth. It was ideal for me to get a broad overview and to pick out what I need at home. I received a lot of information, sound examples, tips on videos, practice tips, book recommendations, sheet music and much more. The atmosphere was very friendly and no matter what level everyone was at, he/she was so accepted and welcome. Everyone was able to develop according to their level
Thank you Jochen, for your very nice and empathetic manner. There was also plenty of laughter and humor. The intensity and quality was very high. For me it was a brilliant weekend with lots of input and motivation.

I took part in the 12/2023 technical camp. As I already knew Jochen Weigand from his YouTube channel and his website and was very impressed by his concept, I thought I'd join him for a drum camp. I have to say, my expectations were exceeded. Jochen is a very nice person and has an incredible feel for the different needs of his camp participants. On the very first day, he picked up all the campers, regardless of their level. From beginner to advanced, everyone was catered for and everyone was able to take something away with them. And the most important thing, apart from learning... Everyone had fun. I will certainly attend another camp and can only recommend it to everyone else out there.
