DRUM LESSONS - Hamden, Connecticut        
by ed peterson, professional drummer 

   Welcome to My Drum Pad, Hamden CT
                                        Never stop learning, don't ever think you are too old, too good or not good enough to learn - you need the right teacher.

Watch the Subway episode of "UnderCover Boss " cbs on your computer and see me performing with the rest of the band circa 1978/79.

  Private Drum Lessons for those beginning to learn drumming or those interested in bettering their skills - rudimental and drum set - jazz to rock and in between learn to play in time. 
  My goal is to inspire you so that you can add value to your practice time, by watching and listening with a positive and critical ear and eye. 

Here are proven ideas that have helped me grow as a drummer:

  • Endeavor to become as good a musician as those with which you will perform and engage musicians with abilities and styles you enjoy.
  • Learn to read music, practice daily, become well versed in the rudiments and comfortable at your kit.
  • Strive to become proficient in many styles of music - versatility will make you better and build musical relationships.
  • Listen and watch others perform - there is always something to be gained, music is visual too. 
  • Drumming is holistic; regular practice will develop your body and mind keeping you vigorous throughout life.
  • Learn about the martial arts and yoga it will help to make you a better drummer.
  • Develop proper posture at the drum-set; strengthen your core, relax your body, this will focus your mind and your natural dynamic will develop and you will focus your energy better.
  • Practice as you walk; practice can be anywhere and everywhere.
  • Find one, always count, break the rhythm down to its core add then add detail.
  • Practice with a metronome; this is what you are to be, but, with creativity. If you can't play in time do something else.

Drumming  combines math and art; the discovery is life long. Relate these issues to balance in sound in your playing and your ability to control all four limbs - to develop coordinated independence - be musical - these are the main goals - and in time...
