Okay, so I'm doing a PRP (Progressive Research Project) on the benefits of ambidextrous drumming.
I'm a senior in highschool and we started this project my junior year.
Basically to accomplish anything on this project you need "annotations" and for an annotation you need website or magazine articles WITH authors.
Then you need to highlight information out of the article, write margin notes, then use these margin notes to write the paper basically..
and that's just ONE annotation.. pain in the ass right?
Anyways, if anyone could help send a few links or anything that could help with this project, that would be grately appreciated.
I also need to make a final product for this project, I could use a few ideas.
I was thinking maybe like an instructional video on how to teach a right handed player how to play left handed and vise versa.

Well, I couldn't help you with articles, but I am an ambidextrous drummer, so if you have any questions I'll answer you, mmkay?

i dont really have any actual questions haha just need information haha.
so being ambidextrous, does that make rudiments easier? usually for us "normies", rudiments are only challenging with our weaker hand.

I don't really have any problems with doing rudiments since neither of my hands are known as the weak on or the strong one. And since both sides of my brain work the same as well and I'm co-dominant, it makes it easier to read the music and play it out. But if I were you, in order to obtain good, solid information, make up questions and ask like ten different ambidextrous drummers how easy or hard it is to play. That's what I did with my senior project...just saying(:
