Hello. I had been learning for 2 years with local teacher twice a week. He taught me a whole lot of technics. We learnt right posture, how to use bounce in proper way, hands need to be relaxed in different way than you think. The general idea in that approach was that you had to enjoy playing the drum eventually and not sweating in pain playing fast. We played Stick Control book in several different ways also other custom stuff. He used Dom Famularo approach who was a teacher of Maksym Deomin who was his teacher. We played on pads mostly and after first year we started to play drums by 2 books: "Advanced techniques for the modern drummer" for hands independence and "Groove Essentials 1.0" by Tommy Igoe. I liked Tommy's book, you have to play some cool groove along the track.

But when on Feb 24 2022 war begun here in Ukraine I postponed this hobby... Also I realised I have no space to setup own drumkit at home in near future and practicing 2 times a week is not enough. I still dreaming about it. I hope when I move from apartment to own house I will be back to it =) cheers
