MWI 536 – Intro to Playing the Drum Set
July 22-26, 2024
This course is designed for those who have little or no experience or formal training in drum set performance or practice. Teaching is directed toward enabling you to acquire a facility for yourself, and in turn, to help you teach and coach your student drummers in developing better skills and overall musicianship. You’ll learn about technique, styles (including rock, jazz, Brazilian, and Afro-Cuban), improvisation, reading, repertoire, and drum equipment. No equipment is required; you will be supplied with a pair of sticks, a method book, and a play-along CD. Each student will sit at their own professional drum set that includes all cymbals and hardware.
