Drumsense: Pt. 1, v. 2 Jazz-basic Strokes-Rudiments

The idea of Drumsense is to provide a support system to bring together like minded teachers from all over the United Kingdom, and training them to use the same programme. This programme will determine a standard of teaching, and a diploma will be created to recognise this standard. The teachers are required to fly the Drumsense flag in order to achieve this diploma. It's approach to beginners. The programme is based on the Drumsense books, which take the complete novice through the basics of drumkit playing, like a foundation course. It is this programme that sets the contemporary standard for drumkit teaching which will be used by modern teachers across the country. It is also the first programme to be aimed at private and peripatetic (schools) teachers. If a Drumkit student is having lessons at school, using the Drumsense books, but decides to switch to private lessons, he or she simply looks for a teacher using the Drumsense programme, and continues from where they left off with the new teacher. Or, if a students is having private lessons in Southampton, and decides to move home to Glasgow, lessons can continue with a Drumsense teacher in that area. If a teacher needs to take a week off, but doesn't want to cancel lessons, then a teacher trained in the Drumsense programme could 'fill in' without any problem. Teachers could even train their own deputies to take over in emergencies.
