  • Great Lesson! but why do you use your left foot for the bass??

  • @MrJordaaan1 I'm right handed but LEFT footed?! I know, don't ask! ;) It comes from being self taught but over the years of teaching drums I've taught myself to play both ways round...which is nice :) Thanks for your interest! Rob.

  • Hey Rob,

    Thanks for the response earlier this week.

    Anyways,

    I was wondering if you had any songs, which you consider easy to learn for us beginners?

    I would love to hammer along, and I do at times, to these songs which you post up on Youtube.

    But I was wondering if you had, perhaps a list or a few examples which you consider perhaps, a bit more ''beginners friendly'', which you teach your students?

    Thanks for all the help,

    Best Regards,

    Matthew.

  • @Amphrit3 Questions like this are best posted on my website Forum I think :) Any song by AC/DC or Rolling Stones are pretty good to start with. I also find a lot of Pop music to be very good to drum along too becuase the drum patterns tend to be simple. I usually make suggestions from each of my pupils own song selections to which is good for beginners so don't really have a list of easy songs. Sorry I can't help you any further! Rob

  • Ur vids are brill, clear and helpful deff best on youtube that i can find. How much do u charge for teaching someone?? And where do u live Not some weird stalker lol I live in Cambridgeshire wondered if u did?

  • @OneShotYouDead1 Hi, thanks for the kind words and for the love! I charge £15 per half hour lesson for private teaching and I live near Southampton in Hampshire, England. So quite a way away from you unfortunately. Shame, as I'm always looking for new private drum pupils. Thanks for your interest though! Rob
