Re: help in playing the drums Lessons are the best way to go,also you want to be a well rounded drummer,so learn to read
then when the time comes you can play any style.I started inJ.R. High and learned my Rudiments then i started playing to the police some of there music was basic drum so i played
along with the song.I learned in your spare time get a pillow and play on it. practice your rud's
on the pillow it will help you get better,REMEMBER TO START OFF SLOW AND GET IT RIGHT,SPEED WILL COME LATTER.START WITH YOUR BASIC FIVE STROKE (RR LL R) How i remembered it is a little saying i came up with>>>("She got baby socks") SHE= 1 R GOT=2R
BA=1L BY=2L SOCKS=R COUNT IT IT'S 5 FIVE STROKE. WELL THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW GET THAT DOWN GOOD AND YOU WILL BE OWN YOUR WAY.Oh on the set find five surfaces start with the snare, and go from there just 5 strokes around the surface of the drums on the kit,
remember to add the base(kick) drum also. Just basic drumming from me to you. Enjoy |
