What You Will Learn?
- This easy to follow beginner drum set class includes lessons, tips, and tools, that will have you ready to play drum beats, play with other people, and play along with hundreds of songs, right away! I've created a class that covers fundamentals of drumming up to the basics of playing music with other instruments. After years of teaching private lessons and playing live shows, I've found the most important information, and easily convey it with real world musical applications. We'll cover subjects like:.
- - Technique (how to sit at the drums, hold the sticks, throw and bounce the stick).
- - Vocabulary (rudiments, beats, fills, steady beat and how to divide it).
- - Helpful Tips and Reminders (using a metronome, motivations, mindsets).
- - Exposure to music notation and reading.
- - Practice Tools (exercises to easily reference and play along with).
- Whether it's your first time ever sitting at a drum set, or you've played for years as a hobby, I'll help you understand the fundamentals of drumming and music. You'll find material to help you grow for months and years to come. Watch the lessons in order, or skip around to what you need specifically. .
