Welcome Back!

A very warm welcome back to everyone having drum lessons this term. I hope you all had a great summer.

As I've said in the introduction, I'm now teaching at the new Shop in Bishops Stortford shop on Mondays. I've added a new introductory section for the new drummers in Stortford - with the relevant links for them.

This week we've been going back over basics to iron-out any bad habits and to get you back into the swing of things.

A walk-through of the Intermediate Warm-up can be found here.

Then, we looked at playing double-stroke rolls - with a single arm movement but playing a double with your hands (played of bounced).

Finally we looked at playing simple 8th note grooves but with your left hand leading on the hi hat.



A list of grooves to work through can be found here.

We then added a couple of extra more 'funky' grooves as below :-



PS. I will be posting up the notes from the last few lessons in July over the next few days - watch this space.

See you next week.
