I learned to play drums in band then took lessons from local college kids that were in the college band or drum corp. They were very reasonably priced.

I play, but I'm left handed. My set is backwards. What works real well is setting up face to face and it's like the student is looking in a mirror. Worked great for me when I was learning (30 years ago)
I don't know of anyone in the Springs, but up here, Bob at Rupps is awesome!! Just about any of the instructional videos are good too.

The first (or second I suppose) thing a musician should learn is how to play in time. Have him do all his practice work to a certain beats per minute and keep raising it as he progresses. You want to be sure he still hits notes clearly, so once you get to a bpm where he's sloppy, back it down.

It's not the worse way to start, but it's much better to have a teacher, especially in the beginning. On any instrument it's really easy to develope bad habits that can cause pain down the road.
Best thing to do is call up the local college (4 year, not 2 year), get a hold of the music department and ask if they have students interested in teaching. Ususally they do have a list. Many times it's pretty affordable, descently educated musicians who could use the money. It's better than going to a music store for teachers. You never know what you're going to get at a local music store.
Great point, Zach. Very important, especially with drums.
cool, thanks for the info. i'll look in to that.
Celo, I might contact this person via email and ask if there are any students teaching drum set.
