Are you practicing every day?At the end of this week's lesson he says "I just don't know what to do with you man, maybe you'll wow me one day and actually be able to do it."

Agreed and dig the sass! Cant play fast til you develop the muscle memory. From my experience, that only comes from playing nice and slow and sometimes almost a bit exaggerated.I don't like a teacher that wants to make you play fast before being able to play slow or medium first. He sounds like a crappy teacher. A good teacher breaks stuff way down to it's basic elements for all to see and explains how to hold the sticks, what motions to make....how to play, as well as instruction of what to play while learning. But man you have to start within your ability.
Ditch the clown and find a real teacher.
You probably should have not gone back after the first or second lesson.So I've had about four or five drum lessons so far...
You get what you pay for.Education should be free.
The guy sounds like a right arrogant D*_k who's downright rude, if you go back for another lesson and he's the same ... drop his money on the floor, let him pick it up and tell him you've found another teacher that's absolutely wowed you and can actually teach so you won't be requiring his services any moreI just don't know what to do with you man, maybe you'll wow me one day and actually be able to do it.
Sorry, pulled a long shift at work and haven't had a chance to update. I'm going to give him one more chance but if that doesn't work out, I'm going to have to do online lessons, since he's literally the only drum teacher in my area. My main concern is hand technique. I've heard great hands for a lifetime and Bill Bachman drum workout mentioned so far, along with Alexs lessons, so I'm trying to decide between thoseAnother hit and run OP???
This has generally always been my situation. It can still work out.My main concern is hand technique. I've heard great hands for a lifetime and Bill Bachman drum workout mentioned so far, along with Alexs lessons, so I'm trying to decide between those
I think that's fair enough.I'm going to give him one more chance.................
I would take a look a Joe Morello’s DVD too. And Jojo Mayer’s Secrets for the Modern Drummer. And Gordy Knudtson’s YouTube videos. Steal good ideas from everybody whose playing looks effortless and like they’re enjoying themselves.Sorry, pulled a long shift at work and haven't had a chance to update.
