Come out to WI and you can do lessons with me lol
It is very tough. I can relate to your stories but not in Drum teachers. I struggled with a couple of piano teachers. I had one for many many years and we were very close. She then moved and I had to find a new teacher. Signed up with a guy and I cried for the first 3 lessons after leaving and my mom said nope this guy isn't right. Then the next teacher was what I felt expecting to much. Finally I found another teacher who was a smelly old creepy man but let me tell you, once I got past that he was one of the greatest teachers I had until I got into college.
I myself have taught for 20 years now and from all of the teachers I've ever had I promised myself never to be like any of the ones that discouraged me. I try my best to adapt to all of my students and not to make them adapt to me.
All the best and hopefully it works out for you. Just go in and help explain and set your expectations and goals and see what happens!
