So you've been playing drums for a while now and are finally at the point where you can play along with music and generally keep good time. You could be playing in a band with some friends, along with your favorite recording or, if you're especially brave, at a jam session in town. Everything is sounding fine, but you're beginning to notice that you're playing the same beats and fills over and over and can't seem to think of or play anything else with messing up.

Now, more than ever before, there is an abundance of material, both free and for sale - audio, video, sheet music, books etc., on the internet for people who want to learn how to drum. I have looked into much of the DVD material and online lessons that are available and found some of them to be very well thought out and slickly packaged.
