Alex Cohen has emerged as one of the most advanced progressive drummers in the music scene. Called, ‘Incredible’ by Thomas Lang, and ‘A revelation’ by Virgil Donati, Alex is pushing the boundaries of what was thought to be possible on the drum set. Both of his books, ‘Ultimate Progressive Drumming’, and ‘Extreme Polyrhythm And Speed Techniques’ (co-authored with Brazilian drumming icon Ramon Montagner) have received rave reviews from drummers ranging from Derek Roddy to John Riley. In 2024, he was the recipient of the ‘Louie Bellson Award’ from Drumeo for his innovations on the instrument with independence and double bass.
