Drum Rudiments - building right and left equilibrium. In Harrow, London

The way to build up the right and left side of the drummer is very important.  It is a fallacy to say that a drummer has a strong left but a weak right hand in the same way that it is absurd to say a car manufacturer makes great cars but with weak left wheels.  I start my students with the habit of practicing and mastering single stroke, double stroke, paradiddle and buzz or multiple bounce roll with a right, then left start. This is done with a bass drum placed on the first of every eight strokes.  After this we expand and play on the toms, snare, hats and turn it all into something elegant and musical.  From West London Drum Tutor, drum kit teacher in Harrow, London  http://youtu.be/UWzTKL9HKwo
