SEATING
Before you commence playing, a comfortable seating position

but you should be able to reach the tom-toms and cymbals
with ease and comfort. The main aim is for comfort and easy
playing of the drum kit

HOLDING THE
DRUM STICKS
The right hand stick is held between
the inside of the thumb and first joint
of the index finger (about ⅓ of the way
down from the butt of the stick). The
remaining fingers are wrapped lightly
around the stick

RIGHT AND LEFT HAND EXERCISES


The first exercises are played using the snare drum and involve right and left hand
alternation. First make a clean tap with your right hand and as your right hand is
returned to its original position make a clean tap with your left hand. Repeat the
procedure. The important thing to remember in every exercise is to relax and don't
let your wrists and forearms tense up as this will make your taps sound uneven and
jerky, thus preventing you from increasing your speed steadily.
