Best way is to start slowly. Do it slowly untill you have it down. Then gradually increase the speed.
I often start going to fast too soon, as my teacher often points out.And of course, practice makes perfect. |

| My dad plays drums for a living but for some reason I could never really get into it, I think its because you really cant play it by yourself. Its more fun when you have a band or something but thats not always available. |

| It isn't as nice, I agree.
It's like, yesterday in music, I improvised a reggae beat to a piano accompliment, and it sounded great. But on it's own it would have been bland. |

| I practice more rudiments than other things. My drum teacher goes so fast with them it's crazy.
That and I pratice what he shew me last lesson. I can also play with my MP3, since my kit allows me to plug it in to it and play along. |

Im deprived of anything but five tape recorders so I record all the parts then click play at the same time and hope it works out XD

i've been playing for about 2 years now, and i love my drums to death. To everyone else has been saying, it can be kinda difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it it is the most amazing instrument. It's fun above all.
So, question, what equipment does everyone use??
I have a dixon kit, which is terrible, but i love my ride cymbal: Zildjian |

I got Tama. You know. The one everyone has. >.<
I love Zildjian. They're like. God in the form of cymbals. xDD
I'm auditioning for my school's jazz band in a few weeks.
I'm really nervous cause I've never really played jazz seriously before. I've mucked around with a saxaphone-playing friend, but... jeez, I CAN'T SWING! D:< |

The music's kinda hard to read..and I don't really know how to find song..music...stuff so I can play drums from songs I know. I thought it was different in the way the notes are. LOL I'm pretty much failing here. |

Posts: 15621 | December 27th, 2008 at 11:04pm I got a crash for Christmas, finally!
Though I still have to get a stand haha.
I really need to buy a practice pad to practice my rolls on, I suck at them.
Using the snare is always an option, but I still want a practice pad. |
