Patknives,

thanks for the replies and advice. I think we will reverse his kit (that is set up for left-handed). I think his teacher is good enough to work with this. Re-arranging his (the teachers) durm kit for lessons may be a hassle.

I don't see him playing in a high school marching band. We live in Australia and we don't seem to have many high school marching bands; so at least he won't have to worry about this. Thanks for taking the time to add the secondn post though, all advice is very welcome.

I have read a little bit about open-handed drumming. Just wasn't sure if that meant reversing the complete kit or not.

thanks again,

Daryl
