First post on this forum for me. I'm a bass player who likes to get in over his head from time to time on the drums. (I have a mostly '76-ish Ludwig Kit)
I've just discovered that my kid is a southpaw, and I'm tempted to teach her the drums since she enjoys banging around on my kit from time to time.
Should I teach her open grip (open-handed) or should I switch the drums around for her?
(I think open grip is way cool, but I think it would be weird to use a non-dominant foot for the kick.)
Do you open-grip lefties all play kick with your right foot?
How should I teach my kid?
I like the idea of her being able to sit down behind any (rightie) kit and blaze away.
Thanks.
