Hi, I'm Bill Powelson, the author of this web site.
These lessons have all been hand
written by me over a 45 year period of time since I began teaching privately in 1965. It occurred
to me early in the mid-1960s that there was a need for a drum course like this. I realized then,
that we do not necessarily
need to see the teacher face-to-face in a class-room, in order to learn. It was at that time
that I began putting this course in drumset techniques, together.
Here online, I have three separate web sites. All three sites contain essentially the same
lessons, but each site is designed for different levels of ability.
With a little fortitude,some positive awareness, common sense, and just the right lessons, it is often faster and more efficient
for the student to learn on their own. This course has been painstakingly designed over a
45/50 year period with that philosophy in mind.
Simply visit the site(s)
as time allows and pursue your dream of becoming a pro drummer, one-lesson-at-a-time.
You'll gain approximately 30 years of knowledge in as little as 6-months or less
with this method of instruction. If you are a self-starter, and if you can follow the
simple instructions, I think you'll quickly accelerate through the entire course with
ease.

E-MAIL
I absolutely love receiving e-mail from serious, appreciative, students.
In the old days of this course, I had my e-mail address on every web page,
and I literally begged for e-mail responses. Most of the time, all I got
was spam and more spam, haha. So . . . with this revision of the course,
I've removed and disguised my e-mall address. It isn't because I don't want to hear from you.
It's because of the spambots, that make a business of harvesting e-mail addresses
from the web.
Anyway . . . I've decided to place my address in this one spot, in hopes that
you'll find it, and e-mail me. I'm coding the address a 'special way' to fool the bots.
Sure! I encourage you to write! If I'm still kicking and screaming, I'll
usually respond right away.
BUT . . . TO FOOL THE SPAMBOTS . . . I'LL ADD X'S TO THE ADDRESS. YOU'LL
NEED TO REMOVE THE X'S, FROM THE WAY IT'S SHOWN HERE, OR IT WILL NOT WORK.
WRITE ME ANYTIME.
E-mail your questions and/or comments to:

REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE 'Xs' FROM MY E-ADDRESS.
It's coded to fool the spam-bots.
