Drum videos are everywhere these days and I have decided to jump onto the wagon!  Here is one video outlining a simple fill.  Thanks for watching!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMvlnOeVxjs

Drumming is about time keeping, feel, dynamics, stick control, bass pedal control and knowledge of how to move around the kit elegantly, and or with power.  Drummers have a wide range of styles they apply and understand.  As a drummer I aspire to be able to express something special and unique; something from my creative mind and something I can call my own.  Drum teaching is about providing the materials and instructions to become a drummer, but I try to make my students into creative thinking drummers.

Drumming in a band feels like a way to express, communicate ideas and to collaborate with other people to form something that is greater than the sum of its parts.  Some people say that drumming is a great way to release your anger, to throw a tantrum...  I know that a drummer can not ever drum effectively or create if in a chaotic rage, and that drumming requires a special control that flying into a rage can not give.  Drumming is more like meditating I think.

Skype Drum Lessons
Just completed my lesson on Skype from London to Sydney.  It was a great lesson with my student getting used to the nature of the technology, and the structure of the lesson.  I have been doing Skype drum lessons for only a month and it has spawned a new lesson structure that includes sending notes, videos and emails in between lessons.

After some attempts at trying to restructure my website www.westlondon-drumtutor.com I have arrived closer to where I want to be with it.  Have a look and it is still in its construction phase.  But people are finding me and I am getting students as a result!

As a drummer, the two drum stick grips have their definite contexts and place.  French grip, where the thumb is on top gives more subtlety to the playing and sounds a drummer produces, where German grip, stick held with palms placed downward, gives more power, and is generally a more dynamic impressive stick holding technique.  The U.S method aims to take the best from both worlds and is literally held with the hand at a 45 degree angle.

Bass drum technique, as with all aspects of drumming is vitally important.  Without proper bass drum control, the sound, feel, and expressive potential is greatly lessened.  The important elements of bass drum control are to
1. Keep the toes on the bass pedal around 5 C.M from the bridge of the bass pedal.
2. Move the bass drum beater elegantly with the toes remaining in contact
3. Do not stomp on the bass pedal and again keep the toes on the bass pedal

This will enhance your bass drum control.
