With a whole host of affiliate products coming off the assembly
line from every self-proclaimed professional percussionist on the
internet, I think it's time to start really looking what we buy before
we buy it. Unfortunately for most, however, there's no possible to try
any of these products before purchasing them, and all you have to work
with is some slick sale's pitch from someone you've never actually
spoken to.
First off, I won't claim to be an expert, as I
have no degrees in percussion, nor have I ever created an online
affiliate program for beginner drum lessons. However, I have been a
percussionist for about 10 years now, and have on numerous occasions
been asked to instruct both kids and young adults in the art of
percussion. Although these experiences don't make me an expert by any
means, I can honestly say at this point I know what it takes to be an
effective percussion instructor.
Having said that, there is
a distinct difference between being face to face with someone and
teaching them to drum and taking online courses on how to drum. The
online market for beginner drum lessons is, for the most part, a
one-way system of communication. Although you may be able to see and
listen to someone else explain the course, you have no real way of
communicating back with this person and asking how they did what they
did. In this respect, online drum lessons must be above and beyond
what you can get at your local music shop as far as content,
explanation, and effectiveness.
To bridge the information
gap between the customer and the affiliate suppliers out there, I'm
attempting to interpret and explain many of the most popular beginner
drum lessons online today so that you can know what to expect before
spending anything. All I ask of you, as someone who reads my articles,
is to give your input on which programs you are thinking of trying out
so that I can then give you back a review of that product. More
articles coming soon!
