As you know from previous posts i'm new to Drumming been playing about 3 months now...found a local teacher really excellent Drummer had 3 lessons upto date and picking up a few exercises pretty quickly
But he likes you to jam along to the odd song via laptop and headphones but he plays along with you and obviously hundred times better than me....i find this off-putting to be honest as he's obviously show boating twirling sticks, drum fills, accents the works and leaves me non the wiser...i cancelled my last lesson...don't get me wrong smashing bloke great drummer.
I have been working on some fills and orchestration ect and find i'm learning more on my own.
Should a teacher jam along with you to a song or be giving you some pointers as it's put me off lessons slightly cheers
