Drum Tips & Tricks With Kenny Aronoff

Nick D’Virgilio joins world-renowned drummer Kenny Aronoff in Sweetwater’s Performance Theater to share some wisdom.

Best known for his work with John Cougar Mellencamp, Kenny shares how he created the drum groove for Jack and Diane. He also explains his practice routines, rules he lives by, how classical training has helped his rock drum technique, tips and tricks for studio recording and using gear, and much more.

Kenny Aronoff plays Tama drums and you’re hearing his Signature Snare on this video – check out the full Tama line here. Kenny plays Zildjian cymbals and Vic Firth sticks.

Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
