How I'm Learning Drumset 

so i've played marimba for 10.5 years now, but i've never really played drum set (def novice). and i want to change that. recently i moved in with a roommate who has a kit. he recommended this book "1001 Drum Grooves, The Complete Resource for Every Drummer". my routine recently has been to collect 15 minute practice sessions as little black sharpie dots on a giant post-it note associated with a particular section of the book. one day the post-it will be solid black. for now it just has a few barley visible lines. for the book, i play at a tempo that i can read consistently and read thru the entire section for that genre or style of groove. then i take one of these applications and read thru the entire section with the application applied. i focus on tempo, balance of instruments (feature snare and bass and think of high hat as only the glue), and on using specific techniques on each instrument: [{snare: [cross stick, normal, rim shot]}, {bass: [heal down, heal up unaccented, heal up accented]}, {hi-hat: [tip of stick, shaft of stick, open]}. notice the order of each of those increases volume or energy of the instrument. in this video i play thru the first page, with no application, and the first 3 applications in the book, with cross stick, heal down on bass, and tip of stick on hi-hat. it is my goal that thru reading thru this book and thru recording specific pages for quality checking i will be able to develop my proficiency in drum set. if you've read this far, i want to hear from you. what is your drum-set pedagogy? how should the instrument be learned? how should the instrument be taught? any advice for the road ahead? as always, hope you enjoy.
