Erik Plays "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor | Beginner Drum Lessons in Tooele Utah
rik is continuing his drum journey with another exciting milestone at Josh Kastleman Drum Lessons in Tooele County, Utah. For his second recorded song performance, Erik takes on the legendary rock anthem "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. Watch more of Erik's drum progress here: https://www.joshkastlemandrumlessons.com/erik Originally released in 1982 as the theme song for the movie Rocky III, "Eye of the Tiger" became one of the most recognizable motivational songs in rock history. The song was written by Survivor members Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik and quickly became a worldwide hit because of its powerful guitar riff, driving rhythm, and unforgettable energy. The original drummer on the recording was Marc Droubay, whose steady and powerful drumming helped create the iconic groove that drives the song. The drum part is a great example of how a simple, consistent beat can have a huge musical impact. It teaches beginning drummers the importance of timing, steady tempo, strong fundamentals, and playing with confidence. As Erik continues learning drums, songs like "Eye of the Tiger" provide the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation while experiencing the excitement of playing recognizable music. At Josh Kastleman Drum Lessons, students learn by playing songs they enjoy while developing the skills necessary to become confident drummers. Every student works with their instructor to choose songs that match their current ability while also helping them grow. During each weekly 30-minute private drum lesson, students work through their current song, focusing on sections that may be challenging. Lessons include improving timing, learning new beats, practicing fills, developing coordination, and building proper technique. Once a student has mastered their song, they have the opportunity to record a professional studio performance using high-quality multi-camera live recording equipment. These recordings allow students to experience what it feels like to perform while creating memories they can share with family and friends. After completing a recording, students receive a collectible band sticker representing their completed song. These stickers are added to their lesson binder and become a visual record of their accomplishments. Students then choose their next song together with their instructor. The goal is to find music that keeps them excited to practice while introducing new skills and challenges. Students also continue progressing through the Drums In Color method books, learning drum notation, beats, fills, rudiments, and coordination exercises. Each completed chapter earns reward stickers, and students collect reward points that can be used toward band posters, canvas prints, and other rewards. The Drums In Color system helps students learn drum music by connecting colors on sheet music with matching colors on the drum set. This visual approach can make reading music easier and helps beginners gain confidence faster. If you are searching for drum lessons in Tooele, Stansbury Park, Grantsville, Erda, Lake Point, Stockton, Magna, or anywhere in Tooele County, Utah, Josh Kastleman Drum Lessons offers personalized private instruction for kids, teens, and adults.
