How does this not have more views?

I've been playing the drums for quite a while now and I've found it really does come down to just practising the things you can't do, starting slowly (really slowly if necessary), until you can do them. I find that what takes the time is realising what you can't do. I find most areas for improvement are in some way related to your weaker hand/foot.

@ilikeapplejuice314 @ilikeapplejuice314 Yes, totally agreed about just taking the time to slowly and deliberately work through things you can't quite do yet. It takes patience, but if you're consistent and focus on it, the progress happens.

I had a major breakthrough one afternoon trying to work on the double-kick pattern for the song "Becoming" by Pantera, realizing that I had the triplet pattern wrong and he was using a double stoke, not just alternating singles. I still need plenty of work on it to play it up to speed, but taking the time to slowly work it out step by step got me much closer than I was before.
