This episode breaks down the top two priorities in any percussion program—timing first, sound second—and why they matter more than anything else (even technique 👀). Doug, Patricia, and Zach share real classroom strategies, stories, and practical rehearsal ideas to help your students play in time and make better sounds. From mental reps and metronome work to teaching sound through modeling and listening, this one’s packed with takeaways you can use today.
