A creative approach to applying the rudiments to the drumkit will be an integral part of the students curriculum.

Double bass drum technique will also be covered. JDJDTranscription of recorded songs and recording principles of the drumset will be covered as well as strategies and techniques for productive band rehearsal and performance.
