The basic drum lessons, the first part of this method for drums and percussion instruments, deal with the right posture, which is the basic condition to develop speed, endurance and precision with your playing. The style and the role of drumming have evolved with time, but the basic drums and percussion instruments technique hasn't changed much, and all the great drummers still build their own style from the same basis of musical theory.

Method   It's very important, in all the exercises, to keep a relaxed approach with the drum set and the sticks, to control the breathing and to avoid muscles tension. You should approach every exercise by playing it slowly at first, then gradually speed up mantaining a relaxed posture, without changing your breathing or stiffening your body. You don't have to hurry, the study of musical instruments demands a lot of practice, and also the study of drums, as any other discipline, demands a long and constant exercise.
Improvisational skills are essential to any drummer to improve his expressive possibilities; that's why it's so important to experiment personal variations playing the exercises, following his own style and natural inclination.
