Hi all, Evaluating snare drummers in band class, especially beginners, is challenging. While your other instrumentalists have to think about their embouchure, breathing, posture and fingering just to produce a note, drummers can just drop the stick onto the drum and play a few quarter notes without giving it much thought at all. So what does a teacher evaluate?
Watch my latest video, Beginning Snare Drum Evaluation, to discover how to approach testing in a new way - by focusing your drummers' awareness on important technical points. Evaluation will be a breeze . . . plus, you'll be guiding your drummers toward the development of a solid technique.![]()
