Lesson Topic
You Give Love A Bad Name, Pretender, Gripping the Stick/Balance Point
Lesson Outline
We began by learning You Give Love a Bad Name as Cam, at the end of his lesson, suggested Chris try it. Chris had fun with the song and was able to pick up on most of the hits and fills within his first run through. From there we took another look at The Pretender by The Foo Fighters and ironed out some details in a couple of tricky sections. We then moved to the practice pad to continue our conversation about control by looking at the proper hand technique for gripping our sticks and how to find the "balance point," or "rebound point," on the stick.

Lesson Comments
Chris really seemed to enjoy our lesson on hand technique. He struggled a bit at first as he had to overcome some habits that had formed previously, but by breaking things down step by step he was able to gain a new understanding of the way his hand could control the sticks. He was excited by how much more clarity and control he was able to achieve on the practice pad and we soon moved back to the drum set for him to play along to some familiar songs with this new method of gripping the sticks.
