I use a four-part teaching system which includes the following... 1. Technique Grip - I discuss the differences between French, German and American grips and the pros and cons of traditional vs matched grip. And I always stress the importance of a light, firm grip, so as to avoid tightening of the hands and forearms. Posture and ergonomic placement of the components of the drumkit are also discussed. 2. Sight Reading Knowledge of rudiments, note values, symbols, tempo, dynamics. The two books I mainly use are Stick Control by George Stone and Basic Drumming by Joel Rothman, the latter being the most comprehensive. 3. Playing Songs This is the fun part. I encourage my students to pick some of their favorite songs and play along. If the student becomes proficient enough at a certain song that isn't too challenging on guitar, I can play along with my limited electric guitar skills. 4. Recorded Progress Record I record a portion of the student's drum set performance with Pro Tools and email it as an mp3. This provides an immediate, accurate record of the student's progress. Practice I encourage my students to practice to a metronome. This is very important! It helps you develop an "internal clock" that will help keep you and your band from speeding up or slowing down. Many drummers in popular bands cannot play to a metronome and therefore get replaced in the recording studio by someone who can! Very sad. I try to teach my students to play in a "musical" context.
