Origins of the
Repertory
The Significant Drummers and Their
Creative Output & Contributions to the
Pedagogy of the Drum Set

As we embark upon another semester it is my hope to provide you

with a broad, historical reference of the numerous drum set artists from
which I derive much of your respective technical study and instrumental
development.

I understand how equally overwhelming it can be for the neophyte

drum set performer to the experienced, gigging kit player to suddenly be
presented with the phalanx of names, genres and technical studies
inherent in the pursuit of a holistic understanding of contemporary drum
set competency. As such, it is my sincere desire to provide students with
logical way points from which to pursue my extrapolations and deep
dives into a given period of drum set history or musical repertory defined
by same.

To this end, I’ve once again created a loosely 14-16 week course
reference for both Applied Drumset Lessons and Drumming In The
Modern World, the course I co-teach with my colleague and longtime
Jason Aldean band drummer Rich Redmond. Rich and I both value the
importance of a students knowledge of the historical understanding and
significant repertory of the major popular genres of music (Blues, Jazz,

World: Reggae/Samba/Cuban Folkloric etc, Rock & Pop). Additionally, it

is the cornerstone in my pedagogic objectives and teaching
methodology concerning learning objectives for students at every level
of drum set study.
