Beginner Drum Lessons DVD : Learn In Just A Couple Weeks
Many drummers are missing an essential skill. They have great hand speed as well as good control, but they have trouble mastering the bass drum. Most probably work on their bass drum skills occasionally but never get to the point where their ability needs to be. Perhaps this is because beginner drum lessons spend too little time on this skill or students just don't enjoy practicing on the bass. Either way, an important part of being a complete drummer is missing.
A drum solo is an individual's creative expression when playing the drum kit. It is the ability to create a percussive piece that adds depth to a song and to showcase one's talent. Many famous drummers such as Billy Cobham, Neil Pert, Elvin Jones, and Jon Bonham have highlighted their expertise by performing incredible pieces. Great solos can be performed by anyone as long as there is room for imagination.
It is important that a drummer or buyer of drum sets is aware of how to assemble them properly. Unless assembled in the right way, chances are that the drums will not sound correct, and the drums themselves could be damaged. Drum sets usually come with step-by-step instructions on how to assemble them.
Consider you practice time special time and make the most of every minute. Plan out what you will be doing during practice. When you learn how to be led by your inner man (heart) you will know how to practice more effectively. Get one thing nailed down before going on to more complicated drumming.
My experience with the speed drumming is a strange one. Basically, one October day, while picking up some drum sticks at a local music store, I noticed drummers using a device called a "Drumometer. This "drumming speed" measurement device used a practice pad for a striking surface with an embedded piezo trigger. The trigger was connected to a counter-timer computer brain that had a count and a timer display.
Everyone, was chuckling and having a good time. And of course, eventually I was prodded to "test" my own drumming speed. After playing through the 60-second time interval (which is standard for the International Fastest Drummer Competitions - or WFD competitions) I watched my own form and speed fall away as I played.
I was informed that Mike Mangini (the world's fastest drummer and record holder "gulp") would be the judge. I was also told that the regional winner would be sent (for free) to winter NAMM for the chance to qualify (again) for the final 10 positions at "World's Fastest Drummer Finals" to be held there. I must say, I liked the idea of a free trip for 2 to California and NAMM in the winter. But I really had no expectations - since I knew essentially nothing about how to improve my drumming technique, speed and endurance.
