Bosco's Drum Lessons

A self thought drummer, percussionist and music teacher, originally from Goa – I began teaching drums in year 2000. I let myself take time to master the art of teaching before going into the field of teaching. The drum lessons initially were taugh to little children from the age of 10 onwards, depending completely on their capability .

As a music teacher, I strongly believe in learning notations, right hand and foot techniques to a wide variety of percussion instruments played in the right manner.

I have taught as many students in India and abroad.

A quick pointer:
To learn the right hand movement and foot techniques, you should learn it right the very first time. If you are misguided then it would mean wrong technique, getting tired while you are playing for long hours and unable to play certain beats or rolls.

Here is a quick Exercise:
Take both your sticks in your hands, now face it to the drum in an angle parallel to the snare drum and raise it approximately 5 inches high to get the right height to strike the stick with minimum force and for stability.

Now try the following simple exercise: R = right hand, L = Left Hand:

Now Strike; Left Left, Right Rigth - LL RR, LL RR, LL RR, LL RR, LL RR, LL RR, LL RR, LL RR –Now strike; Right Right, Left Left - RR LL, RR LL, RR LL, RR LL, RR LL, RR LL, RR LL, Try alternating these movements often and observe how your hands become more flexible. You should finally be able to play it @ 120 beats per Minute.

Playing the drums is not just about playing beats and rolls, but being the back bone of the band, supporting every instrument and keeping the band in time: these are the values you will learn at the beginning of your lessons. Although playing the drums is more interesting than just playing with band..... Creating rythms by yourself and jamming with your self can make drum playing more interesting.
