The provided text details the curriculum of two distinct drumming programs: Chris Olds' "The Curiosity Podcast: Mastering the Drumming Techniques" and the accompanying "The Sacred Fire Drumming Intensive." The podcast curriculum is a comprehensive, ten-episode structure designed to take drummers from establishing a physical foundation—covering proper ergonomics and the efficiency of the Moeller Technique—to advanced skills, including limb independence and internalizing polyrhythms. The final episodes apply these technical skills to various genres, teaching specific patterns for Jazz, Funk, and Latin Styles. In contrast, "The Sacred Fire Drumming Intensive" is an immersive workshop centered on rigorous, skill-based hand drumming instruction with a core objective of fostering Deep Listening & Ensemble Connection to achieve a collective groove.
