A brief discussion as to why they are interested in the drums, what type of music they like, I like to get a sense of who the person is in a relaxed, creative and fun enviornment. We'll go over how best to hold the sticks and work on basci rhythms on a snare drum. I like to get a new student playing a few drumset rhythms in the first lessons. We'll go over practice material the best suits a potential student.
