fellow drum teachers. are there any things you find yourself saying often to pupils ... so often that you would consider putting them on a poster in your teaching rooms just to save time.
here's my list:
DRUMMING GUIDLEINES
- Your toes must never leave the top of the bass pedal board.
- Sit up straight.
- Try to always end a fill with the left hand (if you are right handed)
- Always play the bass drum when hitting a crash.
- Always repeat at least five times anything you’ve played correctly when practicing.

Bravo, Alistair!
"Relax"
"Listen"
"Think"
"Don't be afraid to ask questions"
...and when students reach the stage when they start to make their own creative decisions (especially when improvising): "trust your instincts."

That sort of thing is what I tell my students on a daily basis - the building up of confidence cannot be overemphasised for any teacher!
