With emphasis on the body/ kinaesthetic and musical / rhythmic intelligences, and combining the different learning styles of visual, aural, read/write and kinaesthetic, King believes “Anyone with two hands can pick up drumming techniques.” Experienced instructors blend demonstration with expectation to develop rhythm, tone and technique in all students regardless of age or background experience.
