How To Teach Someone The Drums Online - Try Out This Fun and Creative Exercise With Your Students!

Skype lessons can be great but some students might need a different approach to keep them engaged. In this video I share a creative method I've been using for teaching drums online. For more lessons, drum breakdowns and gear reviews click here: / @willdrumsdaly
The pandemic has seen so many of us have to turn to teaching drums over video calls in the past year. Whilst for some students the format works, like me, you may have found that some students needed a different approach.
This game teaches students the power of choice and how their decisions can dramatically change their musical output. It also encourages students to improve on recognising the different types of musical notation. The more notes they can recognise and play, the more ideas they can also come up with. I've had a really positive reaction to this in my lessons so I thought I'd share here you as well.
This game isn't just for online lessons either, it works great in person as well!
Give this approach ago in your own lessons and let me know how it works for you.
Take it easy!

Nice! I’ve used the same method many times. It’s great to get them accustomed with all the broken 16th note figures.
