How Do You Practice To Improve Drumming Skills

By Brenda Myers


Imagine life without music, that probably would mean loneliest world there is. You cannot sing to songs which makes you happy, you will not be able to listen out to those mixtapes which makes you somehow better when you are all down and sad. Its totally a different and unimaginable world without a good and interesting beats and grooves.

No wonder, more and more people are interested in becoming a drummer themselves. Aside from the fact that its a cool instrument, this as well is one of the hardest thing to learn compared to the rest of instruments there is. With that, there needs to be so much of passion and interest if you wish to learn everything about drumming.

This comes in set and lots of parts which basically makes it extra harder to practice. If you think you will just be hitting everything all at once and make some pedal with your foot then you sure are entirely wrong. There are so much to learn about it and mostly, its quite technical and hard to get a hang of.

Despite of challenges when learning this instrument, if you are serious about learning and making progress, there is no problem at all. You will just need to work on the skills you should be honing well appropriately. With that, even if its hard and undeniably challenging, you shall still go through smooth learning transition over the time.

So mainly, your first priority is learning all about the techniques concerning drums. And since there is a handful of these techniques, you should remember taking things slow. Move in a pace you are most comfortable of and do not juggle all technique at once then slowly forgetting everything, it will be a waste of time instead.

Techniques are not only hitting styles, its more of your patterns and plays using the set. The reason why you should be mastering this one first is that it helps you effectively make plays and combinations using your set. Plus, it will prepare you for the next skill, you should learn for this.

Next important point you have to focus on once you think you perfected the technique already is with your independence and coordination. Independence refers to the ability of your limbs to create different patterns and coordination would mean doing all those pattern at the same exact time to create a good beat.

Apparently, when you learn of proper coordination and there is no issue with playing different rhythms on both limbs, then you could then create a two different and independent tune into your music which sounds really good when combined. That right there gives you so much of opportunity to create on variation and style.

And then there is musicality, if you are quite interested in music and tune then most probably you already have it in you. The only lacking thing is you drawing it out and expressing it through plays. But then, you could make it through practice and constant honing. You probably will notice sooner or later how its easier for you to keep up with a song you just heard and your means of recreating the beat without tutorials anymore.
