Well, I'm only 16... I've been drumming for about 3 years.  I got an assignment at school to "educate one of my teachers".  So, I decided to try to educate our band director.  He knows quite a bit about percussion and is a pretty good player, but doesn't seem to know much about technique.  So, I wrote a short paper about different techniques for the left hand.

Please read it and tell me what you think of it... I'm kind of embarrassed posting it here as so many of you are so experienced, but I figured here is as good a place as any to find out if my paper is even slightly educational.

Thanks!

Thanks   Well, it's not the final draft, so I'll be changing some things.  Also, I know exactly what you mean about the "firstly, secondly, thirdly, etc." but at my grade level that's what they want in papers.  I don't usually do that kind of thing.

Thanks again
