TOOLBOX

Written by Dan Slater 2012 www.drumhappy.net

Introduction

Thanks for downloading the original Drum Teacher Toolbox! This was originally created in 2008, and later revised in 2012. The focus in this resource is on simple grooves and rhythms for the snare drum, kick drum and Hi hat; exploring quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes, and their respective rests. Many of the examples contained are perfect for young students to perform at their school assemblies and end of term concerts, or as additional lesson material when a student is struggling in a particular area. With a bit of creativity, the material can be customised for (or by) students who are a bit more advanced: The rhythm pages and duets can be played randomly around the drums to introduce solo concepts or basic fills; some pieces can be joined together or repeated to increase the duration; dynamics can be added for developing expression or foot patterns can be written underneath to practice more difficult coordination. I hope this saves you as much lesson planning time as it does me! Be sure to check the Drumhappy website regularly for updates. Dan Slater www.drumhappy.net Notation found in this resource:
