Practice, Practice, Practice!! Also for me, i found that obsession leads to greatness. Watch videos online and learn techniques from anyone and everyone, keep up the love!

sup jess, ive been playing for 2 years now and i have done many drumcovers. practice of course is the key to great sucess. rudiments is basically what you should be practising thats what i started doing. by the way are you from Australia.

Lessons. Get a good teacher, do everything they say (especially when it seems boring and pointless) and stick with them for as long as you can.

The terrible habits you can avoid by getting good tuition are invaluable.
