Free resources
The following .pdf files are free to print and (unlike my drum books) are free to photocopy as you see fit. Hopefully they save you some lesson planning time!
- Drum teacher toolbox – 44 pages of ‘bonus’ exercises for students who need that extra bit of work on things like quarter and eighth rests, or the introduction of 16th notes. A great supplement to a book like Creative Drumming Made Simple.
- Technical work – 19 pages of ‘work outs’ and rudimental stuff for technical development. Some of these pages have been featured on the great website theblackpage.net
- Drummer theory – jokes aside, this is a brief explanation of theoretical concepts relevant to beginner drummers, such as dynamics, note values, ties, dots and syncopated notation.
- Charts – 9 simple charts that were written specifically to cover certain problem areas such as counting through rests, learning compound time or applying flams. Also useful for school performances!
