And why not, Tom?
Hey, amp, drummer's advice is as always excellent.
Has your buddy watched you play--or tried to play--your drums before now? And is he going to play with your church group? Like drummer said, that's gonna help you determine what you need to teach him. If I were teachin' a student, I would work with him no more than an hour at a time; start with once a week, and if he gets into it, maybe two to three times a week max. That'll give him time to practice, and you can break up what he needs to learn into manageable chunks.
Of course you'll want to link your buddy to the rudiment links on drumbum.com...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
