Jack Trousdale
Past Notes
October 22nd, 2025
We reviewed the names of the parts of the kit. We then reviewed the quarter note beat, and Jack played along with me while I played the piano.
I then pulled out a drum site reading video, and taught him the basics of reading the kit.
Here's the video. It might be helpful if you could review it with him, and go over Level One a few times.

This was Jack's first week on drums. We started off with learning the names of the various parts of the drum kit:
crash cymbal, ride cymbal, hi hat, snare, tom toms, floor tom, and kick.
After that we learned the first beat, called the quarter note beat. We played it through with and without the hi-hat for the remainder of the lesson.
