What To Expect
Drums are a very fun instrument to play, especially if
you are a beginner. More than any other instrument,
you can quickly start playing music you enjoy. That is
what we will do! Our drum lessons will end with you
playing what you have learned along with a little bit of
music. Most drumming you hear is built off of a few
standard beats. Jason McGerr (Death Cab For Cutie)
describes these beats as "the money beats." As a drum
teacher I will help you learn these beats using songs
you love. I like to throw in some special challenges
to help you develop creativity. The best drummers
usually stick to the basics, but understand how to
build bigger ideas around the basic frame. I always
challenge my students, but I will keep our challenges
resonable. Also, I don't make it a habit of throwing
furniture or yelling if you haven't mastered everything
in a week. . . unless you like that kind of motivation.
