How to learn to play the drums
It made me
Content
 "An unlikely Clarinet incident ensues."
How I did it: In the fourth grade, I signed up to play the clarinet in the school band, liking not only the sound of the instrument itself, but what, at the time, I thought was versatility. I quickly learned that if I was going to do anything besides join an orchestral group, clarinet was not something that I really had an interest for any longer, and as such, made the decision to switch instruments from woodwind to percussion. Lessons & tips: Practice, practice, take a nap, and practice some more. Resources: Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School District: |

Pleased with myself
How I did it: I just hooked up with an old high school teacher of mine who let me hang around his classroom and learn the drums as long as I did some filing every now and again for him. He taught me some things and I learned a lot. I can now drum basic rock beats, jazz beats, blues beats and country beats. I am going to keep going with this so I can be a better drummer.

How I did it: Haha, much like the other guy here... I played clarinet in my school band in 6th grade because the only instrument I knew how to play was piano. You can't play piano in band. Eventually, I decided to start taking lessons from Mike Conrad, possibly the greatest music teacher EVER.I sucked at first. No surprise. But after about a year, I started listening to a band called Dead Poetic. They were what people would call, "Screamo." I also star… Read how I did it…

Feel amazing!
How I did it: I started learning through school and found out that that wasn't as good as I had hoped, I got a drumkit one christmas and just kept practising.All you need is rhythm and time.The 4 way co-ordination (the way that each one of your limbs is doing something different from the others) comes with time. Just relax and stop thinking and it'll become easy : ) Read how I did it…

How I did it: I have been a musician since I was seven, and I won't pretend that wasn't extremely helpful. I don't know how long it would take a non-musician to learn. But I decided in July that I would take a year and learn the drums. I started out by having my brother give me informal lessons about once a week. I'd play along with my favorite CD and also try to come up with beats on my own. I'm still learning new stuff, … Read how I did it…

Well I am doing what I can for now… I am practising playing drums on my playstation 3… guitar hero world tour… I guess it can help with basic co-ordination training, but I do realise that it is not the same as the real thing… it’s the best I can do for now.

I really want to learn to play the drums. Question is…will I commit? Will I put in 1000% of effort, so much effort that the drumsticks will become a permanent extension to my hands?
Well, I hope so.

I bought my first drum this morning! (thanks to bday money)
Its African style, somewhat small, can be held between the legs or under the arms, and has a higher, sharper sound. Almost best of all is its skin pattern, which is a colorful Egyptian print with pharaoh-like figures and symbols. Very pretty.
I also fell in love with a djembe; that is the type of drum Ive wanted since I discovered the drum circles – thats what most people use – and Ive found a great one. Pretty big, its brown with red, green, and black colors all over, and has a nice deep sound. The store let me put it on layaway for a month, so I might be able to afford it by then.
I was almost literally drooling over their regular drum sets – they have gold, sparkling blue, purple, white…just absolutely beautiful sets! Thats for a looooooooooong time in the future though, if ever.
Looking forward to start learning how to play!!! and now I dont have to worry about not getting a drum at the drum jams!

Started lessons at Seattle Drum School
3 months ago
It started with registering my two sons into drum classes at the Seattle Drum School. It turned out that the youngest wasn’t really ready for it, but I had paid for the entire month, so I said, I’d sit in his place—and I love it and I’m going to continue!
