How To Be a Drummer?

Labels: How To's, Music


Percussion is one of the most popular instruments in the world. Playing with it can be very fun, cool and impressive. Like any other instruments, the drums are hard to learn. It is not as easy as it seems, as there is more to the drums than just hitting something with a stick. If you’re just starting out and have never played before, learning to play drums is very frustrating. That's why, most newbies begin to play and then soon quit. It's true that some people could easily cope up with the drumming skills faster than the others but it is definitely no reason to quit! If you get disappointed or discouraged because you can't play them very well, don't give up! With time, practice, and experience you'll get better. Then you can show off to your friends.



Here are some tips what you need to do to become a good drummer as you wanted to be!


  • Be Patient
If you're an impatient kind of person, then drumming is not for you because learning to play drums needs perseverance. It takes time to develop drum skills. Since it’s a combination of
coordination and timing, it will not come natural to you. That’s why you must develop it. Yes it is frustrating but try to keep your cool. It will come with more practice.


  • Can't afford to buy a drum set? That's not a problem!
If you can't afford to buy a drum set, it doesn't mean you don't have the rights to learn to play drums! You only need is your hands and your imagination. Listen to your favorite song and then try to go along with it's drumbeat. Imagine your left hand is for the snare, your right hand is for the cymbals, and your right foot is for the bass. Of course you need to be familiar with what it's sound so you know when to use which hands. In this way, you will be practicing your hands and feet coordination. Then when your hands and feet had been familiar with it, try to rent a one hour drum practice in band studios near you so you can apply it for real.


  • Practice, practice and practice
It isn’t realistic to expect perfection overnight. That's why you need to practice, practice and practice. Devote some time to practicing a simple beat. It may seem boring, but you have to stick to it. Play the same simple beat for several hours straight until you get the hang of it. And then eventually, you will find yourself improving and that will keeping you inspired!


  • Watch Videos
Surely, you will learn a lot from watching videos in Youtube or in other tutorial site and it's for free! I suggest to watch videos of Mike Jhonston and Thomas Lang because they are really are the finest drummer in our times and not just a drummer but absolutely a good drum teacher. If you want to learn a song, then there are some good people who post their drum covers in Youtube and you can obtain some techniques from them.


  • Do Not Compare Yourself
For some reasons, drummers will always compare their own weaknesses with another drummer’s strengths. There is really no way to feel good about yourself if you do that. Your style of drumming is your own, and you must develop it the best you can. You don’t need to drum like anyone else. Be your own best friend and realize you have something special the world needs to hear.


  • Keep Your Passion Stirred Up!
Just as what I always say, never never give up! Don't let anything or anybody drag you down. If you dream to become "the best drummer", then it will surely become a reality only if you will dedicate yourself on it and never loose hope.

There you have it! Better start practicing now. Who knows you'll be the next rockstar who will pump up the music scene tomorrow! So play your heart out!

ehem....drums pala ang usapan dito...aba teka!...hahaha..

*Bow*

Hanga ako sayong Gusto
pagkat ako ma'y nangarap ng ganito
mga kaibigan ko'y alam ang Totoo
na Frustrated Drummer Ako..

Mahirap maging drummer,totoo
pagkat kailangan pera ay wasto
sinubukan ko noon ang unan ko
ngunit di ako nakuntento

nakakahiram din minsan sa kaibigan
ngunit akin ring tinigilan
mga kaibigan ay maselan
lalo pa't drums nila ay Ziljian

Bilang bago mong katoto
dito sa blogosperyo
hayaan mong ikaw ay papurihan ko
sa pagiging drummer mo

Di madali ang iyong occupation
pero pag may determinasyon
Bilib s asarili at koordinasyon
siguradong darating ang Realization

Sana nawa ikaw ay mag aral pa rin
para lahat ng pangarap ay tuparin
pagiging Drummer ay ituloy mo rin
Balang ARaw sisikat ka rin...

Good LUck...

BOW!..lol
