2. Drumstick Technique: You will learn the correct grip and hand positioning for holding drumsticks. We will focus on developing control, speed, and accuracy in your drumming.
3. Basic Rhythms: We will introduce you to basic drumming rhythms, such as quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. You will learn how to play these rhythms on the snare drum and gradually incorporate them into drum beats.
4. Drum Beats: We will teach you various drum beats, starting from simple rock beats and progressing to more complex patterns. You will learn how to play beats using different combinations of snare, bass drum, and hi-hat.
5. Fills and Solos: As you become more comfortable with drumming, we will introduce you to drum fills and solos. You will learn how to add flair and creativity to your drumming by incorporating fills and performing solos.
6. Playing with a Band: Towards the end of the class, we will focus on playing with a band. You will learn how to listen to other instruments, maintain a steady tempo, and play in sync with the band.
7. Performance Opportunities: Throughout the course, we will provide opportunities for you to showcase your skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. We will organize small performances where you can play with other students or even perform solo if you feel ready.
