From full-on drum kits down to slapping your legs with your hands - it's not what you hit, it's when you hit it. The most important part of any musician is your ears. We will learn to listen and own the beats in your favorite songs!
Class experience
Every week we will approach songs from multiple levels, so everyone from absolute beginners to multi-year students will have something challenging to work on each week. We lean heavily toward real-world playing (along with actual songs), developing listening skills, and having fun! Students don't need to have any drumming experience, and as an introduction to the class, students will receive a few basic instructional videos to get them used to the vocabulary and basic concepts we will use in...
We will cover how to listen for rhythm, how to play with a band as we incorporate other important concepts like: *Time signatures *Basic music theory, *Notation *Fills *Rock beats *Rudiments Introductory topics include: *Engaging *Blind counting *Right hand and High Hat *Right foot and kick drum *Left hand and snare drum

Grades Offered
1 file available upon enrollmentNo need to purchase anything. At minimum, students should have 2 sticks from their yard and 2 buckets, pots or pans to hit.

It doesn't matter how fancy the drums are because it's not what you hit, it's when you hit it.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
