I can't say enough good things about this Web site. It's awesome a group of people got together and built a Web site loaded with information and videos on everything from music theory to advanced drum techniques. The site has been a huge help in learning how to read drum music and playing the drums.
Without the site I certainly would have needed to take drum lessons. But combined with a couple DVDs I feel that I have a good basis of learning and most of what I need. Sure, there is no substitute for human interaction and direct critiques. I just didn't feel I could afford paying someone around $30 each week for a short lesson where they would give me the same things to work on. I feel a practice enough, and I have goals. But I wasn't sure the once-a-week lesson schedule was for me. Being able to watch videos of the lessons over-and-over again seems better in some aspects that trying to remember what the teacher said.
With that said, I did find a card in a posting for a local person who gives music lessons. I hope to contact him soon and see if he will agree to at least review my playing once a month or on some schedule. I don't want to learn bad habits so hopefully that might be a win-win for us both.
