I

I remember Henrique as one of the great players I looked up to during my studies at Be

College of Music. Now a seasoned educator, in his DVD the Moeller Technique Work

Henrique offers great insight into a very useful technique, along with very clear explana

every step of the way! From beginner to pro, everyone should check out this great DVD

MARKO DJORDJEVIC

Faculty The Drummers Collective New York

Perfect! It is a beautiful thing when you combine talent, technique and musical abilities

Jim Chapin

Jazz Legend and Educator

Henrique is one of the hardest working students I have ever had at Southern Miss. Beca

his incessant practicing, several faculty members moved their offices to another floor! It

surprise to me that Henrique has become a great player and educator, now sharing his ta

with the world. In his DVD he explains the Moeller Technique very well but just watchin

Henrique play is proof enough as to why all drummers should practice this technique.

Inspiring and informative.

Congratulations Henrique

Dr. John Wooton

Director of Percussion Studies

University of Southern Mississippi

Ive been following Henriques career for years and is no surprise to find a high quality

instructional material. The DVD captures in detail all the steps one have to take to impro

their technique on the drum set. Henrique explains each exercise

With clarity, control and confidence, all the elements required for any musician and teac

alike. I highly recommend the Moeller Technique Workshop DVD for your collection, a

source of important information to elevate your playing to a new level.

Adriano SantosFaculty The Drummers Collective
