Exactly what I was looking for. I don't have drums but I have this Rubber thingy you put on your knee to hit with your drum sticks and I wanted to actually learn something.
Hey guys I have a question, I’m thinking of taking lesson from a professional drummer. Do you think it’s a good idea to pay 40 dollars per lesson and its only 30 minute long or I just learn from youtube people? And what do they teach you since you already know like basic beat? Thanks
Thank you soo much! I've been wanting to learn to play for a long time, and I have finally gotten the nerve to sneak on my Dad's drums, when he's at work. Now I have found someone to teach me!
You know what would REALLY be awesome? If you could put text on the video with what he's saying when he's drumming because you CAN'T HEAR WHAT HE'S SAYING. So frustrating to watch.
Also, I think is amazing you're a developer and a drummer. How do you maintain yourself and avoid injury? I have been a developer myself too and just picked up the drums.
i have just started playing drums thank you for posting lessons that dont stop and need cash to carry on i have taken on board and stated trying this stuff out
at the moment i have a acoustic drum kit not very good what would be a good eletric drum kit be to start off on at a good price need to use head phones untill i can get better
Need better vocal mic and less compressed video/audio. Also, strange mix of absolute newbie (holding the sticks) and beyond newbie (paradiddles and rolls)
@michael79331 Start smaller, ask for drum sticks. Practice drum rudiments, learn to roll. You can even "fake" a drum kit, play your right hand on a pot, your left hand on a pad, tap your foot for the bass drum. Prove your serious. A lot of parents know they'll buy a kit and six months later it won't get used. Other parents don't want the noise. I used to drape towels over my cymbals and drums.
well i have the same problems and i started with chopsticks !! i didn't get to go to a place that sells drum sticks so i started with my chopsticks ! and i now can cover some songs without the drums and i think with the drums too ! and then when i proved to my parents that i can play the drums they agreed for me to buy a kit ! i am now raising money until i reach the price !! wish me luck !
Suddenly, I have this little thing on my that I become inspired in playing drums. But my only problem is THAT I DON HAVE ONE. (Is it really that expensive)
I dont think u should use electric drums because 1 you can't do dynamics well.2 The wires that u use can snap easily. And 3 I think the sound quality is bad. Those are my opinions
I think my left arm is lame duck. If this is beginner I have a long way to go :P
Thanks for the lesson... I have now learned that my hi-hat is my the left most pad.... That's why the pedal didn't really do much.... unless I hit the hat.
I play guitar and some piano but this is a new venture. I'm a newbie at drums and got a Roland TD6 with no directions.
thanks uncle todd, this is great video because i want to learn how to play drums, am i want to ask a question i do know how to timing my rigth foot in the bass drum please help me to figure this out...
Thanks for posting...for a musical instrument retard like myself I have always had a fascination with drums and always enjoy watching drummers play more so than any other part of a band. When I listen to music I listen and focus solely on the drum beats and patterns...much harder than it seems but isnt everything that sounds good? Thanks for posting and thanks to your wife for the great video work.
Awesome vid man! alot of beginning drummers fail to recognize thee importance of basic rudimentary drumming techniques ! thnx for sharing keep posting vids !
This is beginner rudiments? when i started my grade 1 its was paradidle, single stroke and double stroke... You are going way too fast for beginners (no offense just a bif of con crit)
good lesson , tom Ive mastered the billy jean beat ,but rolls and paradiddles ? i cant stop stiffening the arms when going fast, and when you go round the toms whats the bass pedal doing?
good lesson , tom Ive mastered the billy jean beat ,but rolls and paradiddles ? i cant stop stiffening the arms when going fast, and when you go round the toms whats the bass pedal doing?
Appreciate this lesson. I taught myself basics and was asked to teach a 10 year old. This helps out to know what to go over for the lessons! Hope to see more!
This helped a good amount i originally played guitar but it seems everyone plays guitar and no one plays the drums so i want to learn how to play and this really helped thanks :D
Jeez... how is this the basics?! Clearly looks amazing hard!! Really wanna learn but after seeing the basics, I don't know if I wanna see the advanced lot!!
really great vid... only one thing... careful about "using your wrists" too much... i have two bad wrists from playing 8 years the way he's doing it... you're supposed to keep your hands loose and move the sticks with your fingers, it's WAY easier on your wrists and it's alot easier to move and manipulate the drum stick... but other than that great instruction for beginners... i started out on all this stuff and it did me good.
@scoopdeville04 I really like the way you teach. I have always wanted to play drums since I was 7 years old. Now, after 40years later, I still have the passion to learn. Is there any videos or DVD that you made or can assemble together for me to learn how to play? You would make a great teacher giving lessons. Have you thought about having your own DVD set tailor to each individuals and charging
Practicing musicians / learners, if you could fill out my easy 4 question survey for my research project it would be much appreciated. The link is in the info of my video called practicing musicians thanks.
Awesome, 5/5 stars! Oh wait, crap. Stupid Google changed the layout... I guess I'll just give you a thumbs up. SCREW THE NEW LAYOUT !!! Copy and paste this if you hate the new layout!
kay so i just watched this video and went to my drums and mannnn that left right left left left right left left thing is hard :] but i love the challenge. oh and >>>> your really good
@hmhmhm98 Yes it is. It's an electric drum set, made by Roland. They're better than acoustic drum sets in certain aspects, but in my opinion acoustic sets are still better.
Thanks so much! My friend (absolutely amazing drummer - like you i guess!!) showed me the Paradiddle thing, and drum rolling before VERY briefly, but I forgot it! this video will be an excellent reference for me! Also, like it how it even starts with some grip explanations!
I've added you to my favorites as I think I could learn a lot from you....
I'm an ex drummer and Santa Claus
gave my 6 year old a Roland TD3 for Christmas.
I can teach drums up to a certain level and have done so for the last few weeks - my son's picked it up amazingly fast.
What I would like to share with you (sorry if you cover this in your other videos) is to make sure from the outset that NOT the student does not develop bias with the stronger hand
i like your videos and there very helpful, but I'm having trouble doing something and was wondering if you have any tips, some times when i go to do single or double bass pedal with what I'm playing it will throw of my beat that I'm doing with my hand. is there anything i can do to kinda improve on not doing that?
@IaMNuckinFuts seperate the bass parts from the rest of the beats at first. getting your feet down pretty good takes a lot of work and the only real solution is time and practice. im sure youll get it in no time though. how long have you been playing?
iv been playing for about a lil over 2 weeks now. iv improved a little bit, but still when i go to do off timing beats on bass it still throws my hands off, so what iv kind of been doing is a simple hi-hat and snare beat then in between every hand hit i do a bass, and i start off slow then speed up. kinda what im doing is
it is wrong to teach people NOT to use their arms. They are important for playing accents more effortlessly. It's part of the Moeller technique. And they also help you to play more relaxed, But what's strange is that when you play the beats, you are playing the arm for the snare. For example, when playing a paradiddle, play the first stroke with an accent using the arm and all the other strokes with your wrists. Much better technique and effortless.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I've watched two DVDs on the Moeller technique and while they start out with these HUGE arm movements, when they are done it is hard for me to see that they are using their arms at all but maybe they are and I'm just not seeing it. For anyone interested in grip and motion techniques I would recommend Jo Jo Mayer's "Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer".
@martinlaporte2 I think its actually pretty useless to use whole arm to play accents, like when u playing real fast on snare u dont have the time to use the whole arm and hit it from high i suggest to hit on edge but it still hits the skin it makes real massive sound.
ummm... try powering the stick with your fingers instead of ur wrist. youll get more articulation and a greater capacity for speed. at least i do! do whatever works for you, but LEARN IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! its so much harder to unlearn stuff that hinders you later on...
there is many way to grab a stupid stick every drumer LEARN a diferent way or have ther own way of holding a stick u can hold the way u want just he is showing u the good way of doin it so u can devlop ur wrist muscle DUH if u use ur finger u wont rly devlop anything but how to make ur stick bounch that not the point of lesson
Actually, According to Jim Campbell who is the director of percussion studies from the University of Kentucky, the movement from the sticks should come from your wrist, not your arms, or your fingers, but your wrists.
I'm not a beginner but I've been teaching myself to play drums for a while and didn't know about those snare exercises. I think they'll come in handy, thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for. I don't have drums but I have this Rubber thingy you put on your knee to hit with your drum sticks and I wanted to actually learn something.

welshsoldier211 2 years ago
Well, it's not easier, playing anything isn't easy to start with anyway, and a decent guitar is going to set you back a bit of cash.

As a professionnal teacher for 18 yrs,
it is wrong to teach people NOT to use their arms. They are important for playing accents more effortlessly. It's part of the Moeller technique. And they also help you to play more relaxed, But what's strange is that when you play the beats, you are playing the arm for the snare. For example, when playing a paradiddle, play the first stroke with an accent using the arm and all the other strokes with your wrists. Much better technique and effortless.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I've watched two DVDs on the Moeller technique and while they start out with these HUGE arm movements, when they are done it is hard for me to see that they are using their arms at all but maybe they are and I'm just not seeing it. For anyone interested in grip and motion techniques I would recommend Jo Jo Mayer's "Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer".

@martinlaporte2 I think its actually pretty useless to use whole arm to play accents, like when u playing real fast on snare u dont have the time to use the whole arm and hit it from high i suggest to hit on edge but it still hits the skin it makes real massive sound.

ummm... try powering the stick with your fingers instead of ur wrist. youll get more articulation and a greater capacity for speed. at least i do! do whatever works for you, but LEARN IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! its so much harder to unlearn stuff that hinders you later on...

there is many way to grab a stupid stick every drumer LEARN a diferent way or have ther own way of holding a stick u can hold the way u want just he is showing u the good way of doin it so u can devlop ur wrist muscle DUH if u use ur finger u wont rly devlop anything but how to make ur stick bounch that not the point of lesson

Actually, According to Jim Campbell who is the director of percussion studies from the University of Kentucky, the movement from the sticks should come from your wrist, not your arms, or your fingers, but your wrists.

I'm not a beginner but I've been teaching myself to play drums for a while and didn't know about those snare exercises. I think they'll come in handy, thanks!
