Learn to play the drums

Willie Mae Ladies Rock Camp and learned how to play the drums! It was sweet and awesome!

So far I’ve been pretty consistent with practicing the drums. I’ve learned one song playing along with a CD. Then my brother, who is giving me lessons, came over and told me how I was doing and showed me some new things. So, I’m excited as it seems like this is really going to happen!

Learning to play the drums has been fantastic. I love the physicality of it and being able to play along with my favourite musicians and songs is very fulfilling. I’m not yet good enough to play in a band, but if practised more, I’m sure I could be.

I’ve always wanted to play the drums. Growing up, though, I played everything BUT. Guitar, bass, string bass, violin, viola, cello, trumpet… but never drums. My mother refused to have a set in the house.

So after Rock Band came out, and I got into it, I’ve rekindled my old desires, and I plan to buy a drumset just as soon as I get out of the Navy. Until then, Rock Band has to suffice.

I began drumming when I was about 8 years old. I stuck with, practicing daily, and went on to play for many years in a local rock band. I enjoyed it tremendously and still play on occasion. One thing that would motivate me to keep practicing was to listen to other drummers. I especially like the drumming style of Neal Peart, the extremely talented drummer of Rush. Buddy Guy is another favorite.

Get yourself motivated and keep practicing!

I had already decided several months ago that I would start actively learning how to play the drums. I’ve since been fooling around on them a few times a week and will occasionally play along with my MP3 player or with my husband playing the guitar. My brother will begin giving me informal drum lessons about once a week beginning in a week. So, I’ll go from there. Wish me luck!

Play drums on Rock Band for PlayStation 3 ;)

All I’ve wanted to do since I was in 5th grade is learn to play the drums. I’m 15 now and I’ve decided that I want to be good at it by the time I’m out of highschool. I’m gonna start saving up for a set when I turn 16 and I have a job. Until then I want to atleast have a basic knowledge of the skill so I’m not just walking into this whole thing blind. I’m super determined to do this and I won’t be happy until I’m good at it.

I am a complete drumming virgin. Haven’t played an instrument since the clarinet in grade school. It would take struggle and dedication to learn, but I want to, and I think I’d really enjoy it, and it could be a good outlet for all my spazzzzzzz and angssssst

My drum teacher is sounddd and I love playing them. I’ve been learning since christmas and I’m already pretty good. Apparently I’m getting a new teacher next term ):
