I'm looking for some advice on selecting a new drum teacher or if I should stick to the one I have now.
Currently I have a teacher who seems to be more focused on including ostinato's and difficult beats than doing songs like my past drum teachers.
I am positive he is more knowledgeable than my past drum teachers however he is extremely hard to communicate with. I also went from taking lessons in some-what of a closet to taking lessons from his custom made kit in his home studio.
I would much rather go over songs than do what he is assigning me to now. However, I want to do what will help me the most in the longrun. If learning countless ostinato's will help me with rock and the occasional jazz drumming in the future then I would like to learn it however I have never heard an ostinato being played in any of the alternative rock bands.
Thanks,
Gerpz
