Music Teacher charts and information I like to keep handy.
Vince offers charts that have been useful teaching drums!
Being a drummer trained with minimal melodic experience, I can attest to the value of the following basics. These charts, along with guitar chord, and chord progression maps, were vital towardCheeta 5 octave, 8 zone, 4 layer Master Series MIDI Keyboard Controller, with light switch drum below and PoleKAT dual zone trigger pad to right the completion of the first CD album: 
A Drummers Laugh and eventually to: Wizard Obligation, which is a CD album which was recorded live as a Television show. The albums both feature a 9 page cover with art and information and many pictures. The Wizard Obligation CD can be put into any computer to see pictures and movies from the sixty minute TV show: 'Inside the Creative Mind with Vince Schaefer'.

Ideas from my head quickly became practical reality when adhering to the musical rules dictated in these charts. Screaming realistic sounding guitar parts along with funky bass lines were the result. My melodic skills have improved and my basic studio set-up is modern, and efficient, and universally applicable to the work and records done in other studios.
A basic method plan for drumming that has been tested many times is also included. Check California band, and Carrick band or Resume. Real Audio files are examples from the first lesson, under the: Free Internet Drum Lesson page!
 I've much to put in here eventually. For now, check out these links and short Real Audio samples:
