Lesson Comments
Devin played very well today. He is very interested in eventually learning how to play double bass drum beats. I have started him on some hand/foot coordination exercises that I wrote for myself that will help give him control over his limbs regardless of if they are playing against each other on the same side or opposite sides of his body.
Devin's playing has gotten to a point that we are ready to start working on playing to recorded music. We have picked the song Paralyzer by Finger 11 and will take 15-20 minutes each session to listen to and analyze the drum part in the song and write a drum chart for it. This will train Devin's ear to listen analytically and interpret rhythms into a written standard notation.
