Hi… and welcome to my Web where I mainly will expose my thoughts about the drumset and its studies, through proposals that I think could make this art progress forward in many directions.

You can learn about what my past professional moves have been by reading through my Curriculum or choose to go over my books at  Library and/or get informed about my actual work or where my projects are heading.

I am  sure you will enjoy looking at my system´s  Teaching Devices/Study Material . They represent a new way of understanding alternatives to the teachings of the “drums-playing” principles.

If  you decide you  want to know more about my ideas, and would like to get to know these either by taking lessons from me or by arranging conferences, seminars or the alike,  you might contact me by filling a form placed at the following link  Education or contacting me via  E-Mail.

You can also purchase my books at   Trafford Publishing.

Un sistema que inmediatamente sabe transmitir la ilusión de ponerlo en práctica tanto en principiantes como en bateristas experimentados, al alejarse de los convecionalismos formales de la educación tradicional y centrarse en el estimulante plano visual mediante divertidos dibujos de las diferentes piezas del instrumento. Estas características que lo contituyen, lo convierten en una herramienta educativa de gran interés tanto para pedagogos como para estudiantes por su sencillez y naturalidad.
Inteligentemente estructurados y enfocados con claridad hacia aspectos básicos de coordinación rítmica, convierten el aprendizaje de la batería en un placentero y fácil juego.
Armando Capote hace posible con este brillante sistema que sus libros hablen por si mismos facilitando en suma medida la labor educativa del profesor.

Definitivamente una iniciación adulta para niños y un juego de niños para adultos.

Takeo Takahashi.
