| I am fairly new to set drumming myself, I did play some mallet percussion, and other percussion parts as required back in highschool. I've found that warming up with the rudiments has been very helpful to me. Starting slow and gradually picking up speed. Like Skinslapper said use a metronome. It's challenging, and frustrating but definately worth while. It's made me realize how much as a guitarist I depend on the drums to keep my tempo steady. Now that I'm the drummer it's up to me, and practicing with the metronome at home has definately helped me keep steadier time when I play with the band at church. |
