How to become a good amateur school band drummer
An amateur drummer old boarding school experience
How good 1 First you need to have talent and a foundation, does not require your basic skills, but at least you can play basic rhythms on drums, and have a certain sense of music, a few rows of simple songs, and other instruments may be common playing, but there are many Coban’s half-baked, in the hands of basic looks can be, but after the drum will not play, there is no sense of music and coordination of the limbs, then you still play it ~ drum team
2 sustained enthusiasm, if only to show the band playing, bubble sister, to play with, that you stay away from this piece of pure land, for various reasons, do not quit halfway hurt the hearts of his teammates, because the band, you can at the University of submitted during the lifetime friend; living rough does not matter, you can practice more, you can row simple songs, warm you can always spur progress …
3 day basic skills and hands coordination exercises, half-drum majors in college have some basic skills of small, hand and foot coordination exercises can be more separation, all the basic rhythm pattern and how to add flowers, as far as possible from watching music score while playing drums ; wild ways will live drumming rough, and some more practice basic skills, including grip and posture of the right stick method (either single or double step on the players, the focus on the waist rather than your feet), do not have single and double jump to reach 120 speed, but at least have to know how to correct posture … hand drumming practice in place, sitting right in order to control the intensity, although drum instrument called the noise, but the real drummer playing is full of rhythm, “melody” beautiful, Note the different crackdown, sound grasp of combat methods and combat parts of the intensity of the strength of the tone control is not in place, the rhythm while playing on, but you play the drums, dry, there is no sense of rhythm, the whole band rehearsal effect There is no atmosphere. Whether it is metal or pop, you are going to play drums, rather than smashing hit it, do not become instruments of destruction drum killer
4 Do not step on premature contact pair, now young people like to play heavy, a lot of even the basic grip stick drummer posture have not mastered, it is the same suit as the guitarist play dual step-paced song, the result is heavy music under their playing completely reduced noise … personally feel that in the absence of certain basic hands and feet coordination exercises before they double step, let your feet become more lazy, many campuses have a primary drummer biggest feature Tinker is playing left foot does not follow open cymbals, cymbal exercise is very open and close the left foot exercise (ankle), many end drum rhythm is right duck jump (this also exercise ankle) rub out, and many drummer but with double step left foot to replace the playing of this technique, and they played with a double step is to chop down the strength of the thigh, the correct approach is to legs dangling, double step on the power play with the ankle, to the final , one leg did not train well, double-step did not train well, worth the candle ~
5 exercises ears, listen different types of music, personally feel the rhythm of the drum is the type of musical instrument, even if you play a certain style torrent, metal, etc., also be sure to listen to some blues, jazz, avant-garde, funk, pop and other styles the song, different from the melody instrument playing drums, no matter what style you are playing drums, rhythm and coordination skills are most important for you, and jazz blues and other styles of music most exercise rhythm and playing skills drummer, and, like the one mentioned, but also the ability to exercise your left foot; followed was talking to half-Coban, the drums do not look as music score, he just picking songs when auxiliary tool, rather than a necessary tool when playing the drum is flexibility of playing a musical instrument, grasp the basic rhythm on the basis can pay some of their ideas during rehearsal and performance skills on the inside; Grilled songs more use your ears to listen, to understand, some places did not understand, listen to four or five ten times over and over again this is normal, so that when you are exercising ear for music perception and musical tone control on hand, you can not even imagine the strength of tone are hard to tell, how do you know what efforts to drums; really die, to see eye music score or someone else’s video of it, has always been to listen to music, the visual can not say is important, but also the second, so the music score thrown aside, moreover ranked school band songs are relatively simple, it you have to look at music score, your ability to feel bad music
6 have their own equipment, which point do not want to say, there is a guitarist without a rehearsal piano, lines, effects and paddles it … at least have to have money set cymbals, snare drum, foot hammer ah, no money, at least with several pairs of drumsticks also possible it (ps, have a deputy almost headphones, earphones, whether for bad drummer or other musicians misleading too, both in listening to music or picking songs aspects)
7 understand drums, learn drums, love drums; not loaded cymbal, not Ann stepped hammer, but not placed drums, drum sounds will not tune in … to see some of the team’s rehearsal room of the military drums, there is no tone, playing soft pops up, with the same movement fart, it has to make do with less, know a learned snare three basic school brother, how should I say, good basic skills snare drum, the drums can be, but does not transfer drum, so that the domestic part of the music education really pit father …; previous optimistic about some of the band rehearsal, it may be noted guitarist bass, drums errors or sounds wrong, drummer, too, can also give other musical tone sounds, and now the rehearsal, we regard the dry volume to maximum, enjoy self-serving bombs to high speaker … used to know a friend, a feces fast Seoul, a 505 effects, you can bring up a very good tone; various musicians now 5.6 thousand or so of good piano, big board effects, the results of feces is generally sound, some guitarists do not even know the effect can tuning, Waugh had a go … so, good musicians not only want to play your instrument well, but also to understand your instrument ~
