A drummer need 'practice'
·
The only way to get better is to sit down, and practice
drumming every day for about 2 hour.
·
Are you in school? Join the school band and make musical friends. They
will help you along. You might even form a band.
·
Lessons are a great idea.
·
Read drumming books and watch videos that can help you learn
·
As always when playing drums, wear protection such as ear plugs. Snares
in particular were designed to be loud (to carry across entire battlefields),
but are played very near YOUR head and ears. You want still to be able to hear
music and conversations when you are 80! Many drummers start noticing hearing
loss in their 50s and belatedly start wearing protection then. Do not let this
happen to you!
·
Surround yourself with more experienced musicians
·
Be a visual drummer - this is only learned from experience and watching
others. By exaggerating movements or moving in ways that is not expected makes
your performance even more entertaining and enjoyable for yourself and for your
audience
