We live in a small community with limited resources. Can I do anything now to prepare him for when I do find him an instructor

I've been playing drums for a few years now. I don't know if you are a drummer yourself, but if you aren't I would strongly suggest you get him lessons with an instructor once a week. Eight years old isn't too young to start drumming. If you try and teach him yourself without you having any experience, he will have horrible technique and it will be difficult for him to improve.

Okay first each and every little one has heard of the human centipede such a lot of say that they have got watched it after they acquired freaked by means of the trailer. It's no longer compatible for a little one of 10 it is an 18 for a rationale. And it's going to impact your little one's intellectual wellness state and progress greater than you can also believe. I would not propose any individual watch it permit by myself a ten 12 months ancient

I agree with the others on the instructor, but you yourself can get him interested.
I worked with a lot of special needs kids with music therapy. With one boy with severe ADHD, I sat across from him and we each had a hand drum. Start out with simple patterns, like check patterns. You tap, then he taps back. Repeat it as often as you think it's necessary and move on to another one. I bet he's making up his own patterns in no time.

Hey, its all about how to teach drums, not about how to teach a person with ADD ...the person always comes before the disability. Often people with ADD function more effectively if they are in a stimulus rich environment ...somewhere with a lot going on ...alternatively they may need a quiet env with no distractions ...it all depends on the individual.
Good luck :)

You could try to get the basics online if your community is too isolated, or you could approach a music teacher at his school(if his school even has one) maybe even middle or high school music teacher ,post flyers (you'd be surprised the amount of people who play an instrument but don't anymore), maybe a local band member, or a patient high schooler in the marching band. Be sure to do background checks or stay with your child through his lessons. It could be something you learn toether.

i agree with ilan...if you want him to take lessons make sure that the instructors knows that he will have to keep the child's attention...but i drummed in high school...and it was a lot of fun...i am sure that you son will enjoy it...
