I think the anwar guy you are talking about is the tall skinny guy with specs right??? if it was him, ya he's good. James was my teacher too if I can remember carefully, he's the short guy with shoulder length hair?? I think he played for band with Douglas O.
that time i was 16. On the 1st day of class (group) i asked him whether I can advance to the next level, cause I can play drums. but after opening that green book i realised i was in trouble cause i cannot read sia.
poor thing there's another lady who picked up drumming cause she wants to play for church, always kanna scolded for being not "rhythmically" in tune. But he's a good teacher. yah sometime we jam together.
Luckily before i entered Yamaha I was self taught by listening repeatedly to Slayer, Sepultura, Metallica.
The funny part is my friends complained that the longer I studied in Yamaha. the suckier I played ha ha ha how ironic. I think because of the frequent counting in the head and not concentrating the jam session. ok la James ok to me. maybe because he never act ya ya to me. IMHO

learning from henson b now..
altho he is quite slack.. he can points out mistakes rather quickly and he will teach wat u ask...
also i feel about the teachers going outside for a walk... sometimes might be due to the fact they feel the students didnt dare to play in their pressence probably...
well if u hav a serious learning altitude i think they shdnt hav any reasons not to teach you properly or wat.. sometimes the problem lies with the student u know.. ( know 1 too many musicians with ap)

Individual Drum Lesson
Hi guys
I know that there's drum lesson in Gramercy Music School (Holland Village) and Symphony Music School (Causeway Point).
Both are individual in teaching. The only thing about the lesson in Symphony Music School's drum lesson is that the lesson not held there at causeway point but in town, Butterfly Records Music Studio.

Actually...
I had pasted this ad in previously...and here it is again for those of you who missed it. Hope to hear from you soon.
Australian drummer, Chris Oldman, is now in Singapore and available for tuition. Chris is a graduate of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and has been playing professionally for many years. Recently returned from several tours in the Middle East, he specialises in Jazz and Funk Music but is willing to teach all styles and levels - beginners to advanced.
You can contact him via email (oldy@graffiti.net). Alternatively, call 81196811

I was reading all your comments on James, and this is my thoughts:
Being a good drummer doesn't mean you are a good teacher. I also don't agree that a teaher needs to also be mean with his words on his students. You can be stern with them but if you are always scolding your students, this will only translate to a reduced in morale in the student. A teacher should also learn to praise the student when need be, even if there's a slight improvement.
Humans learn at different pace, and it is the job of the teacher to recognise that and cater your lessons to the individual's learning pace. The student will benefit more from the lesson, and enjoy the lesson with you more.
I teach and I always try my best to provide constructive remarks to my students so that they can use them to improve.
just my 2 cents worth...
cheers.....

I totally agree with that. A good drummer doesn't means that he or she would have the proper way of conveying his or her skills to the students. However, everything still boils down to the student himself. If you have a totally awesome drum teacher and have a crappy attitute and don't practice what you learn, it's pretty impossible for you to move on. And as a result of unable to move on, students will end up blaming the teacher, which is kinda unfair.
Well, that's just my opinion.
