I always wanted to be in a drum line...
1 month ago
I’m headed back to school after a long absence and had this crazy idea that maybe I should try out for the drum line. I played percussion in highschool so why the hell not.
How to play drums
It made me
hell yeah! 
"Being able to keep a song going with a monster beat is just awsome."
How I did it: My brother bought a drum set and he started playing. He got better and better, and I thought that why couldn't I do that? Well I started practicing, and I just sucked! But after I learned the basic beat, I started to get some fills into it and it started sounding pretty good.
And suddenly I could play drums!!!
It took a while but, nowadays I can play so many different beats that it's just amazing!
Lessons & tips:
- Play with a metronome to help you keep your'e tempo right
- Listen to other people play
- And of course: practice, practice, and practice some more!!
Resources: YouTube was very helpfull with all the videos...

I like to jump in behind the drum kit at band practise sometimes, I feel like I belong there, it suits me so well. I’m taking lessons with a friend’s girlfriend this summer and I’m so excited to play a new instrument and even more excited to have some fun!

I have bad wrist injury and the pain is delaying me buying any drums. I fear the pain my be never fully leave and drumming may make it worse. I will ask the Doc about it the next time I see him.

I’ve got a drum machine and I use FL studio for beats sometimes, but it never sounds real enough. I’ve been in bands before but none of them ever end up going in a musical direction I can follow. I have my own ideas for music that I want to create, and you know what they say – ‘If you want something done right, do it yourself.’
I’ve wanted to learn drums for a long time. Maybe I can do it soon, just gotta obtain a trap set…
i guess i have to settle for now.

kinda hard when you don’t have your own drum set isn’t it? i don’t really have the money or space. & my only drummer friend slash teacher is off touring with his band all the time now. in the meantime i’ve discovered the joys of playing a cajon & am thinking about getting one. definitely have space for one of these! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajon
