WHAT’S INSIDE
Making a Drummer is a single resource which contains a comprehensive method for drum set instruction. The material in this book is designed to teach your students the fundamental skills that every drummer needs to know. But don’t be fooled; Making a Drummer is not just a beginner’s method book. As your students’ skills improve, this method will grow with them.
“…Spencer arrived at his methods from working with students…This is a structured progression crafted by someone who has learned what students need…[He] is laying the foundation that makes me feel I can take this wherever I want to go.” – Jason D.
A SINGLE RESOURCE
As a single resource, Making a Drummer simplifies your time in the teaching studio: your students no longer need to buy five different books to get started on the drums, you don’t have to spend hours creating pages of material to fill in the gaps in those books, and you don’t need to spend time jumping between books during lessons. All you need is one copy of Making a Drummer and a drum set.
BUILDING A FOUNDATION
Your students will build a solid foundation of ability and understanding by working through these essential areas of study: reading, dynamics, coordination/independence, technique/stick control, grooves, and fills. Each new subject begins at the most simple level and gradually increases in complexity as you turn the pages. New concepts are introduced in a simple format, so the student can focus on learning one new thing at a time. Etudes (short assessment compositions) follow each new concept to challenge and evaluate the students’ command over what they just learned.
GOING BEYOND…
The Expanded Use Appendix contains 52 sets of detailed instructions, each accompanied by visual examples, for reinterpreting the exercises contained in Making a Drummer. The appendix allows this method to grow with your students as they progress from beginner to intermediate and even into advanced levels of playing.
TESTIMONIALS

“The material I was taught was useful and essential to my progression as a drummer. I am consistently presented a challenge while always guided through it. Grooves and accent patterns specifically improved my ability to perform on a stage and become creative and original in my work.” – Julia T.
“I have learned a lot going through Spencer’s program. Each lesson is easy to understand and I know exactly what to practice each week. When I’m playing drum fills I see myself automatically going to patterns Spencer has shown me. I found the most benefit from learning accents. I highly recommend this program to others learning to play the drums.” – Josiah H.
“The sheet music is very clean and easy to understand, and the repetitiveness really helps you learn and understand what you’re playing.” – Matt O.
