Ken Pooch Van Druten

The engineers

Chairs nobody hands over lightly.

Some bands keep one front-of-house engineer for decades. Pooch and Greg are those engineers — and this is a way to sit next to how they think, with a drum session led by a drummer who’s held the biggest stages in rock.

Inside the course

Technique — and everything around it.

Built on their Four Fundamentals, then real technique on top — and the part most courses skip: how the top 1% actually think, decide, and read the room while the show is already moving.

The technique

Half the mix is won before the EQ.

Mic choice and placement, harmonic distortion, parallel compression, EQ, dynamics, depth and width — and getting a drum sound right at the source with Tommy Clufetos.

The approach

The moves before they touch a plugin.

Chasing the source instead of the console, and getting the impact of a louder show without the volume.

The philosophy

Why the champions think differently.

Treating a club like a stadium, staying calm when it counts, and the mindset that separates working from world-class.

The human game

The part no manual covers.

Speaking an artist’s language, managing the egos, and stepping into a legendary band’s chair without breaking what works.

The full curriculum

35 lessons. Two days of teaching.

Every lesson, unscripted, room questions and all. Watch in any order.

Launch only

In their words

From the engineers who learned it.

The way Mr. Price and Pooch presented the material was nothing short of awesome — clear, engaging, and immediately applicable. It opened my eyes to several things I didn’t even realize I should be doing. Well worth the investment.

Joseph Dicks

FOH Engineer

I gained real-world experience, with an A-list artist, for the first time in my life. This opens my eyes to what it takes to achieve the champion level of mixing, and I’m here for it!

Timothy Fisher

FOH Engineer

Greg and Pooch are legends for a reason. Two legends, in front of their consoles, willing to talk about anything and everything.

Aydie Marshall

FOH Engineer

Extremely informative, showing different methodologies between two of the industry greats. The takeaway was priceless. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to level up their knowledge or challenge their own methods.

Chad Cook

FOH Engineer

The hands-on drum mic’ing session — then recording and listening back to hear the sonic difference that just a couple of adjustments made — was incredible.

Bryan Wright

FOH Engineer

The masterclass massively exceeded my expectations. Pooch and Price were lovely instructors, worked hard to engage with all the participants, and took our questions seriously.

Questions

Good to know.

Is this recorded or live?

Recorded and fully on-demand. You watch at your own pace, any time, in any order. The only live element is the bonus Zoom Q&A with Pooch on Aug 21 — and that’s recorded too, so you never miss it.

How long do I have access?

During launch (through Aug 23), you get lifetime access — it’s yours to keep. After launch, the course is offered with 2-year access.

Is it too advanced for me?

It starts from the Four Fundamentals and builds up, so it works whether you’re growing into front of house or already mixing and want the mindset behind the moves. FOH, monitors, worship, system techs, and studio-to-live engineers all get value.

What languages are the subtitles in?

English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and German — on every lesson.

How is this different from Pooch’s earlier masterclass?

It’s a whole other level: two engineers instead of one (Pooch and Greg), getting the drum sound right at the source with Tommy Clufetos, and the mindset and human side of the job the earlier one didn’t cover. And that masterclass — the one Pooch recorded in Brazil — is included here as a bonus.

What’s your guarantee?

A 14-day money-back guarantee. If it’s not for you, email us within 14 days of enrolling for a full refund.
