Hey, Jury, I can't think of any materials right now, but here are some ideas if your class is pretty solid on technique and rhythms. You could work on musicality, volume control, accompanying other musicians, accompanying canned music (if that's something you have to do in your area), drum solos - both with dancers and without, accents/taps, playing good backup - i.e. solid but non-intrusive, playing lead, perhaps work on riqq and frame drum. You could focus on ensemble work, maybe challenge the class to write a short percussion composition for the group to play, then feature a different person's piece for each class. Perhaps work on overlaying rhythms. You can work on talking while playing, leading/directing the group while playing, stage presence (make them play in front of a mirror or tape them to show if they're making funny faces), ability to look at and engage the audience while playing, drummer/dancer communication - invite an experienced dancer to educate the class on how to communicate and perform together. I'm sure she would be happy to have more receptive drummers in the community.

The sky's the limit. Have fun!=)

Greetings!

I don't really have any teaching materials that are better than what you've probably already got your hands on. Besides all the great stuff Elissa and others here have mentioned, I'll add the following bit of advice:

Practice playing cleanly, and I don't mean bathing meticulously before and after practicing (har-har... sorry :) Just speaking for myself here, I can make all my basic tones and "trick sounds" (like pops and such) pretty distinct and pure by themselves or if I'm playing at a slow pace. However, while I can still keep pretty decent time when I speed up my tones start to sound like crap. I'd suggest drilling (and paying close attention to) the quality of all of your tones at all speeds. You don't even need to do "drills" - just do basic rhythms so you can free your attention from the rhythm your playing to the tones you're playing. You'll find that as your sounds clean up your grasp on the rhythms will improve too so you won't need to think so much while playing. If it gets easy at one speed, just bump up your metronome to the next setting.

Another thing I'd suggest now that I'm thinking about it is something I read a while ago that someone else wrote (I think it was Jas but I can't remember for sure). Anyway, the basic thought was that while lots of people (myself included btw) seek to collect lots and lots of rhythms, licks, and cool "trick" techniques, in many cases it will serve you better as a musician to be able to express yourself with what you already know and to express it easily and well. Personally I compare it to learning a language - you'll be better able to communicate with others if you focus on how to use what you already know well as opposed to memorizing tons and tons of vocabulary but not bothering to practice pronunciation, grammar, syntax, slang, etc. It's not as if you should ignore learning new words (i.e. - techniques or rhythms), but don't focus on that to the exclusion of understandability.

Anyhow, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Be well,

R
