Quick drum lesson: how to be more creative behind the drum kit

It's time to fix those drumming weaknesses!
In the April 2015 edition of Rhythm Magazine we look at common areas where all drummers fall down at some point in their playing lives. Whether it's suffering from a weaker hand, a lack of dynamics and creativity or difficulty developing independence between the limbs. In our Troubleshoot Your Drumming issue our tutors and guest drummers provide quick and easy fixes for 17 key playing areas to help transform your playing.
In this lesson Rhythm tutor Pete Riley presents a lesson on expanding your creative horizons with your existing drum knowledge.

Pete Riley was my drum teacher at ACM in Guildford. A great drummer and a superb teacher. I'll always be a Pete Riley fan! :)

I've been a teacher for a long time here in Connecticut. Nevertheless I this is so well done that I found myself watching the whole vide, just to enjoy this very nice presentation. (From a comment below, I see that you taught in Guildford. I got to drive through there when Ihad the chance to visit England. A beautiful spot!) And very NICE DRUMMING!!!!!!!
