Jeremy Hummel | The New Generation | A Modern Philosophy on Drumset Teaching

As a drum instructor, I’ve seen my role and purpose expand greatly over the past few years. In its simplest form, teaching others was a way to share my knowledge of the instrument, and, hopefully, earn a living in the process.

While every generation surely feels the same about the ones that follow, I must say that kids today are different. In this article I’ll outline some of those differences. I’ll also offer a few ideas that I’ve incorporated to better serve my students -who may be, after all, artists of the future.
