Mick Higgins (aka ‘Mickthedrum’) has been playing drums and percussion with bands since the 1960s and has been teaching drums professionally for almost 25 years. Mick still gigs with 2 bands: Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll/Pop, and also teaches privately. As a naturally fully left-handed drummer, Mick enjoys the ‘challenge’ of teaching almost universally right-handed students of all ages. Mick himself had to relearn drumming by learning to play right-handed, from whence came the idea for this book.
